FAQs
What is the primary design inspiration for this wallpaper?
The wallpaper is designed to imitate the unique, ridged pattern of thick and luxurious cord fabric, enhanced with embedded glass beads.
How do the glass beads affect the wallpaper's feel?
The glass beads sit proud of the paper, creating a pleasing tactile experience in addition to the visual texture.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a kitchen?
Due to the delicate nature of the glass beads and the textured surface, it is not recommended for high-moisture environments like kitchens or bathrooms.
How should I clean this wallpaper?
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth for dusting. For minor marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used with extreme care, dabbing and immediately drying the area. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I use this wallpaper in a high-traffic area?
It is not ideal for high-traffic areas where abrasion is likely, as the beads and texture could be damaged. It is best suited for accent walls in calmer living spaces.
What does the 'Sample' in the product title mean?
The 'Sample' designation indicates that this is a smaller piece of the wallpaper, intended for you to evaluate its appearance, texture, and how it looks in your specific lighting conditions before purchasing a larger quantity.
What other colours are available?
Other colour families, such as Green, are available for this wallpaper design. Please refer to other product listings for specific colour options.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, primed if necessary) and that the correct adhesive for textured wallpapers is used. Reapply adhesive to the wall and the back of the wallpaper, following manufacturer instructions.
Glass beads dislodging during application
This indicates excessive pressure or incorrect handling. Ensure a professional installer is used, or handle with extreme care, avoiding any rubbing or scraping motions. Use a soft roller designed for delicate surfaces if applying yourself.
Loss of sparkle or dull appearance
Gently dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using cleaning sprays or polishes, as these can damage the beads or the adhesive.
Visible seams
Ensure precise trimming of edges and proper alignment during application. Overlapping is generally not advised for this type of wallpaper. Professional installation is key to minimizing visible seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Due to its unique textured and beaded surface, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure the wallpaper is applied correctly and the beads are not damaged during the process. Use appropriate wallpaper adhesive recommended for textured or specialty wallpapers. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from imperfections before application.
Compatibility:
This wallpaper is best suited for interior walls in living spaces, bedrooms, or dining areas. It is not recommended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms or kitchens, or areas prone to heavy wear and tear, such as hallways or children's playrooms, due to the delicate nature of the glass beads.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and integrity of the wallpaper, avoid harsh cleaning methods. Gently dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. For any minor marks, a slightly damp (not wet) cloth can be used with extreme care, dabbing rather than rubbing, and immediately drying the area. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
