FAQs
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom or kitchen?
While the wallpaper is washable, it is best suited for living rooms and bedrooms. Bathrooms and kitchens can have high humidity and moisture levels, which may affect the longevity and adhesion of the wallpaper over time. Ensure good ventilation if used in these areas.
Can I apply this wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
It is generally recommended to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. If applying over existing wallpaper, ensure it is firmly adhered, in good condition, and not textured itself.
How do I best match the pattern between strips?
When cutting your strips, check the wallpaper's specific pattern repeat instructions. You will typically need to align the pattern at the top of the new strip with the pattern on the previously hung strip, trimming any excess. Ensure you have enough wallpaper to account for pattern matching.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Always refer to the specific adhesive recommendations provided by the wallpaper manufacturer or Wilko. A good quality 'paste the wall' or 'paste the paper' adhesive suitable for vinyl or textured wallpapers is typically required.
How durable is the textured effect?
The woven linen textured effect is designed to be durable for standard indoor use. However, excessive abrasion or sharp impacts could potentially damage the texture.
Will the grey color fade over time?
The color is designed to be fade-resistant under normal indoor lighting conditions. Avoid prolonged direct exposure to strong sunlight, which can cause colors to fade over time on any wallpaper.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking well.
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, primed) and that the correct adhesive is used according to manufacturer instructions. Check for drafts during application that might dry the adhesive too quickly.
Air bubbles or creases are visible.
Use a wallpaper smoothing tool or a clean, soft cloth to gently push air bubbles towards the nearest edge. For stubborn creases, you may need to lift the edge of the wallpaper and reapply.
The textured effect does not appear as expected.
Ensure adequate lighting in the room to highlight the texture. Check that the wallpaper was applied flat and smooth, as significant wrinkles can distort the effect.
Marks or stains are difficult to remove.
Use a slightly damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive soap solution. Gently wipe the affected area and then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing, which can damage the texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth.
- Apply a suitable wallpaper primer to seal the surface and improve adhesion.
- Follow the specific application instructions provided with the wallpaper, which typically involve applying adhesive to the wallpaper or wall.

Compatibility:
This wallpaper is generally suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are properly prepared.
Care:
To clean, use a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the textured finish and the wallpaper itself. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution may be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth to rinse.
