FAQs

What is a 'free pattern match'?

A free pattern match means that the pattern on each strip of wallpaper does not need to align with the pattern on the adjacent strip. This simplifies the hanging process and often results in less waste.

Can I hang this wallpaper in a bathroom or kitchen?

While this wallpaper can be used in interior spaces, it is best suited for dry areas. For kitchens or bathrooms, ensure excellent ventilation and consider a protective sealant, though it is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments.

How do I clean this wallpaper?

Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plaster effect texture.

What type of adhesive should I use?

It is recommended to use a good quality, ready-mixed or powdered wallpaper adhesive suitable for the type of wallpaper. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for best results.

Can I paint over this wallpaper?

This wallpaper is intended as a decorative finish itself and is not typically designed to be painted over. Painting may obscure the plaster effect and alter the material's properties.

How much wallpaper do I need to order?

Measure the height and width of your walls and calculate the total square meterage. Consult a wallpaper calculator or your retailer for advice on roll coverage and accounting for wastage due to the pattern repeat (even for free match, some waste occurs with cuts).

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or wrinkles appear after application

Gently lift the affected section and re-smooth it with a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards. Ensure adhesive was applied evenly and thoroughly.

Wallpaper is not sticking to the wall

Check that the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and primed if necessary). Ensure the correct type and amount of adhesive have been used and applied evenly.

Seams are visible or lifting

Use a seam roller or a clean seam roller for vinyl wallpapers to gently press down edges. If the adhesive has dried, you may need to carefully lift the edge and reapply adhesive.

Color appears different from the sample

Lighting conditions can affect color perception. Ensure you are viewing the wallpaper in the intended room's lighting. Slight batch variations can occur; check the batch number on your rolls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or old wallpaper. Prepare the surface by priming if necessary.
  2. This wallpaper features a free pattern match, meaning you do not need to align patterns between strips. Cut lengths to size according to your wall height, allowing for a slight overlap at the ceiling and skirting board.
  3. Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip or directly to the wall, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Hang the first strip vertically, ensuring it is level. Smooth the strip onto the wall using a wallpaper brush or smoother, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles.
  5. Continue hanging subsequent strips, butting the edges together or overlapping slightly as per your preferred method and adhesive recommendation.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most interior walls in dry areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways.
  • Co-ordinates with other designs from the same collection, allowing for feature walls or room schemes.

Care:

  • Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Avoid excessive moisture or abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the plaster effect finish.
