FAQs
What type of paste should I use?
A good quality 'paste the paper' adhesive is recommended, such as Erfurt Mav Easy Paste. Always follow the paste manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the wallpaper is spongeable, it is not rated for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens where steam and condensation are prevalent. It is best suited for living areas, bedrooms, or hallways.
How do I clean the glitter highlights?
The glitter is integrated into the design. You can gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, which could damage the glitter or paper.
What does 'Offset Match' mean?
Offset Match means that when you hang the next strip of wallpaper, you need to shift it horizontally by half of the pattern repeat measurement. In this case, for every 53cm of pattern repeat, you align the next strip 26.5cm over from the previous one to continue the design seamlessly.
Can I return the wallpaper if I don't like it after hanging it?
No, returns cannot be accepted once the product has been used or hung. It is crucial to check the entire roll for defects and confirm you are happy with the appearance and design before applying it to the wall.
How much area does one roll cover?
One roll measures 10 meters in length and 0.53 meters in width, covering approximately 5.32 square meters (or 57.7 square feet).
Is this wallpaper suitable for a beginner?
The paste-the-paper method is generally straightforward, but the offset match requires careful attention. If you are new to wallpapering, practicing on a small, inconspicuous area first might be beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking well
Ensure the wall is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from dust or grease). Verify that the correct type and amount of paste are being used and that the wallpaper has been 'booked' for the recommended time.
Difficulty aligning the pattern repeat
Carefully check the 53/26.5 cm offset match instruction. Ensure each new strip is shifted by the specified amount and that the visual elements of the pattern align correctly before applying to the wall. Use a spirit level for accurate vertical alignment.
Air bubbles or creases forming
Smooth the wallpaper from the center outwards towards the edges using a wallpaper brush or roller immediately after applying it to the wall. If bubbles persist, try gently lifting the edge and re-smoothing.
Wallpaper tearing during application
Ensure the wallpaper has been properly booked, making it more pliable. Use a sharp blade for trimming and avoid excessive force when smoothing. Handle the pasted paper gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
This wallpaper utilizes a Paste The Paper application method. This means the wallpaper paste is applied directly to the back of the wallpaper rather than to the wall.
- Preparation: Ensure your walls are clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any old wallpaper or loose paint.
- Cutting: Measure and cut your wallpaper lengths, allowing for a slight overlap at the ceiling and skirting board.
- Pasting: Apply a generous and even coat of recommended wallpaper paste (e.g., Erfurt Mav Easy Paste) to the back of the wallpaper strip.
- Booking: Fold the pasted ends of the wallpaper strip towards the middle, pasted side to pasted side. Allow it to rest for the time specified by the paste manufacturer (this is called 'booking').
- Hanging: Unfold the top half of the booked strip and align it to the ceiling edge, allowing for a slight overlap. Unfold the bottom half and press it onto the wall, smoothing out any air bubbles with a clean brush or roller.
- Trimming: Trim the excess wallpaper at the ceiling and skirting board using a sharp knife.
- Pattern Match: Follow the 53/26.5 cm Offset Match instructions for aligning subsequent strips. Ensure the pattern elements align correctly before smoothing the strip onto the wall.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is designed for interior walls. Ensure the wall surface is suitable for paste-the-paper wallpapers.
Care:
- Spongeable: Minor marks and dirt can be gently cleaned using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Good Lightfastness: The colors are designed to resist fading from normal light exposure.
- Wet Removable: When it's time to redecorate, this wallpaper can be removed more easily when wet, often peeling off in large sections.
