FAQs
Is this wallpaper suitable for bathrooms?
This wallpaper is not designed for areas with direct water contact or high steam exposure, such as inside a shower.
Does the wallpaper come pre-pasted?
Please check your specific roll packaging, as most Harlequin designs require separate wallpaper paste for application.
How do I calculate how many rolls I need?
Measure the total width and height of your walls, calculate the square footage, and add 15% extra to account for pattern repeats and trimming.
Can I paint over this wallpaper later?
It is not recommended to paint over wallpaper as the moisture from the paint can cause the adhesive to fail or the paper to bubble.
What is the pattern match type?
This is a geometric checkered pattern, which typically requires a straight match to keep the tile effect aligned horizontally.
Troubleshooting
Pattern misalignment at the seams
Ensure you are using a plumb line for the first strip and adjust slightly at the top before smoothing down to maintain horizontal alignment.
Bubbles forming after application
Gently use a felt-covered smoothing tool or a soft wallpaper brush to work the air bubbles toward the nearest edge.
Visible seams
Ensure you are not overlapping the edges; wallpaper should be butt-jointed. If seams are visible, check if the edges were properly pasted.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adds sophisticated structural depth to plain walls
- Balanced color palette prevents the pattern from feeling overwhelming
- High-quality design aesthetic characteristic of the Harlequin brand
- Effectively hides minor surface imperfections due to the complex pattern
Cons
- Requires precision during installation to align the checkerboard pattern
- Pattern repeats can result in higher waste during application
- Not suitable for high-moisture areas like shower enclosures
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and primed with an appropriate wallpaper primer. Because this is a geometric checkered pattern, always check the roll labels to confirm the batch numbers match to avoid slight color variations.
Installation Tips:
- Measure your wall height and add extra for trimming.
- Use a high-quality wallpaper adhesive suitable for non-woven or paper-backed wallcoverings.
- Apply paste to the wall or the paper, depending on the specific substrate instructions.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could fade the print.
- If a seam begins to lift, use a small amount of seam repair adhesive to carefully press it back into place.
