Fresco Starlight Home Wallpaper - Gold

You should use a good quality, ready-mixed or powdered wallpaper paste specifically designed for 'Paste the Paper' wallpapers. Follow the paste manufacturer's instructions for mixing and application.

Measure the height and width of each wall you plan to cover. Multiply the height by the width to get the square footage of each wall, then sum them up. Consult the wallpaper roll's coverage area (often around 5.2 square meters per roll for 10.05m x 52cm rolls) and factor in the 53cm `Offset Design Repeat` for waste. It's always recommended to purchase at least one extra roll to account for mistakes or future repairs, ensuring it has the same batch number.

While it can withstand some humidity, this wallpaper is generally not recommended for high-moisture environments like unventilated bathrooms or directly behind a kitchen sink due to the 'Paste the Paper' application and metallic elements. For such areas, a dedicated bathroom/kitchen wallpaper or a protective sealant would be advised, though a sealant may alter the finish.

'Offset Design Match' (53cm repeat) means that to align the pattern correctly, the second strip of wallpaper needs to be dropped by half the design repeat (26.5cm) in relation to the first strip. The third strip will align with the first, the fourth with the second, and so on. This requires careful measurement and cutting to ensure a seamless pattern.

Gently wipe the wallpaper, including metallic accents, with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, abrasive cleaners, or chemical solvents, as these can dull, scratch, or remove the rose gold metallic finish.

When properly applied to a correctly prepared wall, 'Paste the Paper' wallpapers are typically strippable. This means they can often be peeled off in full sheets, especially if the wall was sized or primed beforehand. Some minor steaming or wetting may be required for any stubborn residue.

Ensure walls are properly primed and clean. Use sufficient, good-quality wallpaper paste, covering edges thoroughly. Allow adequate soaking time for the paper to become pliable before hanging.

Immediately after hanging, use a wallpaper brush or smoother to gently work out air bubbles from the center to the edges. For small bubbles, a clean pin can be used to release air, then smooth flat. Ensure adequate paste was applied and proper booking time was observed.

The `Offset Design Match` (53cm repeat) means each strip needs to be dropped by half of the design repeat (26.5cm) from the previous strip. Double-check your measurements and pattern alignment before applying paste and hanging. Always cut strips allowing for this offset and extra trimming.

Always check batch numbers on all rolls before starting. Slight color variations can occur between batches. Ensure all rolls used in one area have the same batch number. If different batches must be used, try to use them on different walls or in less conspicuous areas.

Ensure your utility knife blade is very sharp. A dull blade can tear the paper. Use a metal straight edge or a wide smoothing tool as a guide for a clean, precise cut along edges and baseboards.
