FAQs

What type of paste should I use?

Always refer to the specific instructions provided with the wallpaper for recommended paste. Generally, a high-quality, pre-mixed wallpaper adhesive suitable for standard wallpaper is recommended.

Can this wallpaper be applied over existing wallpaper?

It is generally best to remove old wallpaper before applying new wallpaper to ensure proper adhesion. If the existing wallpaper is securely adhered and a suitable surface, it may be possible, but consult the wallpaper manufacturer's guidelines.

How durable is the 'Cotton Stripe' wallpaper?

The 'Cotton Stripe' wallpaper is made from a durable cotton base, designed for longevity in standard home environments. It is suitable for moderate wear and tear.

Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?

This wallpaper is best suited for living areas and bedrooms. While it can be used in low-moisture areas like powder rooms, it is not recommended for high-moisture environments such as bathrooms or kitchens due to potential damage from steam and humidity.

How many rolls do I need for my room?

To determine the number of rolls needed, measure the width and height of your walls to calculate the total square footage. Factor in the pattern repeat and wastage for trimming. It is always recommended to purchase an extra roll to account for errors or future repairs.

How do I remove this wallpaper when I want to redecorate?

Most washable wallpapers can be removed by peeling starting from a corner. If it's difficult, steam the wallpaper or use a wallpaper stripper solution. Ensure the wall beneath is clean and dry before applying new wall coverings.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or wrinkles appear after hanging

Gently lift the edge of the wallpaper and smooth out the air bubble with a clean cloth or a soft brush, working from the center outwards. If the adhesive has already dried, you may need to carefully puncture the bubble with a pin and smooth it down.

Seams are not aligning correctly

Ensure you are using the correct overlap or butt-joint method as per the paste instructions. Carefully adjust the strip before the paste sets. For minor misalignments, a seam roller can sometimes help, but use with caution to avoid damaging the paper.

Wallpaper is difficult to cut

Ensure you are using a very sharp utility knife or blade. Change the blade frequently, as a dull blade will tear the paper rather than cut it cleanly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and smooth before application. Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the wall or the back of the paper according to the manufacturer's instructions. Hang the strips, ensuring a tight seam with the previous strip. Trim excess material with a sharp blade.

Compatibility: This wallpaper is suitable for most interior walls, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Ensure the surface is sound and free from dust or grease.

Care: Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the paper. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Always test cleaning methods in an inconspicuous area first.
