Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Paste the Paper Application
- Prepare Your Walls: Ensure walls are clean, dry, smooth, and free of old wallpaper or flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. Apply a wallpaper primer or sealer for best results, especially on newly plastered or absorbent surfaces.
- Measure and Cut: Measure your wall height, adding an extra 10cm to each strip for trimming. Cut your first strip, then use it to match and cut subsequent strips, remembering the 64cm offset design repeat for alignment.
- Apply Adhesive: Using a roller or brush, apply a good quality wallpaper paste directly to the wall, covering an area slightly wider than your first strip.
- Hang the First Strip: Carefully position the first strip from the top, allowing the excess 5cm to overlap the ceiling line. Use a wallpaper brush or smoother to smooth out bubbles from the center outwards.
- Match Subsequent Strips: Align the pattern of the next strip carefully with the previous one, ensuring the 64cm offset match is maintained. Smooth out as before. Trim excess at the top and bottom with a sharp utility knife against a straight edge.
- Clean Up: Immediately wipe away any excess paste from the wallpaper surface and skirting boards with a damp sponge.
Compatibility
This wallpaper's neutral palette (cream, white, silver metallic highlights) and rose gold undertones make it highly versatile. It is ideal for:
- Modern Minimalism: Complements clean lines and simple furnishings.
- Classic Charm: Enhances traditional decor with a subtle natural touch.
- Bohemian: Pairs well with natural textures and earthy tones.
- Any Room: Suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, dining areas, and hallways.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the metallic highlights or the paper itself.
- Maintenance: Regularly dust with a soft, dry cloth or duster to prevent buildup.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading over time. Consider UV-filtering window treatments.
