FAQs

What is the pattern repeat for this wallpaper?

The specific pattern repeat needs to be confirmed with the product packaging or the manufacturer's detailed specifications, as it's crucial for accurate installation and ordering.

How much wallpaper do I need to order?

Measure the height and width of your walls, calculate the total square meterage, and factor in the pattern repeat. It's always advisable to order slightly more than calculated to account for trimming and potential mistakes.

Can this wallpaper be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

While durable, this wallpaper is not specifically designed for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens. Excessive humidity could affect its adhesion and appearance over time. It's best suited for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways.

What type of wallpaper paste should I use?

Use a high-quality, ready-mixed wallpaper adhesive or a powder adhesive suitable for standard or heavyweight wallpapers, as recommended by the manufacturer. Check the product packaging for specific recommendations.

Is the 'Plum' colourway a dark or light purple?

The 'Plum' colourway typically refers to a rich, deep shade of purple, offering a sophisticated and impactful visual. It is not a pastel or light shade.

How durable is the 'Strawberry Thief' pattern?

The design itself is timeless. The durability of the wallpaper depends on the material quality and proper application, offering good resistance to scuffs and fading under normal interior conditions.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or peeling after application

Ensure the wall was properly prepared and paste was applied evenly. Gently lift the affected area and reapply paste, smoothing out thoroughly. Ensure edges are properly sealed.

Difficulty matching pattern repeat

Carefully align the next strip, ensuring the pattern elements line up precisely before smoothing down. Use a sharp blade for trimming excess at the ceiling and skirting board.

Colour variation between batches

Always purchase the required amount of wallpaper from the same batch number to avoid colour discrepancies. Contact the retailer immediately if you suspect a batch issue.

Wallpaper appears dull or faded

This may indicate exposure to direct sunlight over a prolonged period. Ensure the area is not subject to harsh, direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from imperfections. Measure and cut wallpaper panels, allowing for pattern repeat. Apply wallpaper paste evenly to the wall or the paper itself, following the manufacturer's specific instructions for this product. Hang panels, smoothing out air bubbles, and trim excess. It's recommended to use a damp cloth to wipe away excess paste immediately.

Compatibility: This wallpaper is suitable for most interior walls. Ensure compatibility with the specific paste recommended by Clarke & Clarke or a high-quality, general-purpose wallpaper adhesive. Test a small, inconspicuous area if unsure.

Care: To maintain the wallpaper's appearance, gently wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, as this can damage the print and material. Regular dusting with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment is also recommended.
