This Arthouse Modern Raffia Navy and Natural Wallpaper is designed for homeowners seeking to add a distinctive, industrial-inspired touch to their living spaces. Its key benefit lies in its unique grasscloth texture and geometric pattern, which provides depth and a rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic. A potential consideration is the need for careful pattern matching due to its straight match repeat.

For 'Paste the Paper' wallpapers, a good quality standard wallpaper adhesive suitable for heavy or textured papers is recommended. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
Measure the height of your wall and add a few inches for trimming at the top and bottom. Measure the width of your wall and divide by the wallpaper roll width (53cm) to determine the number of strips needed. Account for the 53cm pattern repeat when calculating how many full pattern repeats fit per strip.
This wallpaper is not recommended for bathrooms or other high-moisture areas due to its textured finish and the potential for moisture damage. It is best suited for dry interior spaces.
As it's a paste-the-paper type, it typically requires wetting with a solution of warm water and a little wallpaper stripper or vinegar to soften the paste before peeling. You may need to score the surface first if it's particularly stubborn.
A straight match means that the pattern elements align horizontally across adjacent strips without needing to be offset. The pattern repeat of 53cm indicates that every 53cm along the length of the roll, the pattern design completes and starts again.
It is generally not recommended to hang new wallpaper over old wallpaper, especially textured types. The surface should be clean, dry, and smooth for best adhesion and finish. Remove old wallpaper first.
Gently smooth out bubbles with a wallpaper brush or roller towards the nearest edge. If creases are significant, you may need to carefully lift the strip, re-paste, and re-hang, ensuring even paste distribution.
Ensure you are measuring and cutting strips accurately according to the 53cm straight match. When hanging adjacent strips, carefully slide the second strip into place until the pattern elements align perfectly before smoothing down.
Use a sharp craft knife or Stanley knife and a straight edge for clean cuts. Change the blade frequently to maintain a sharp edge, which will prevent snagging or tearing the textured paper.
Work in smaller sections and ensure the room temperature is not excessively hot. Use a good quality, appropriate wallpaper adhesive that allows for sufficient working time.
Setup:
This wallpaper uses the 'Paste the Paper' method. Ensure you have a smooth, clean, and dry surface before beginning. Apply wallpaper adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper strip. Allow the paste to 'book' for the recommended time (check adhesive instructions) before hanging.
Compatibility:
Suitable for most interior walls, provided they are properly prepared. Avoid applying to damp or excessively textured surfaces. It is designed for dry interior environments.
Care:
To clean, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the textured finish and color. Due to the nature of the grasscloth texture, it is not recommended for areas prone to heavy soiling or moisture.
