FAQs
What kind of adhesive should I use?
Use a good quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for non-woven or vinyl wallpaper; always check the manufacturer's recommendations.
How do I clean the wallpaper?
Gently wipe the wallpaper with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While it's designed to withstand wear and tear, excessive moisture should be avoided. Ensure the bathroom is well-ventilated.
How do I match the pattern?
Carefully align the vertical lines on each strip of wallpaper before applying them to the wall. This will ensure a seamless pattern.
What tools do I need?
You will need a measuring tape, a level, a smoothing tool, a sharp knife or scissors, a pencil, a wallpaper brush or seam roller, and a pasting table.
How do I remove air bubbles?
Use a smoothing tool to gently push air bubbles towards the edges of the wallpaper. For persistent bubbles, you can prick them with a needle and smooth them out.
Is it suitable for all walls?
It is suitable for most walls, but ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. Highly textured walls may require additional preparation or a lining paper.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not adhering to the wall.
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive and apply it evenly. Press the wallpaper firmly against the wall, removing any air bubbles.

Carefully align the edges of the wallpaper strips, ensuring the pattern matches. Use a seam roller to flatten the seams and eliminate gaps.
Wallpaper tearing during application.
