Full details
This As Creation wallpaper border, in collaboration with VERSACE HOME 5, is designed for homeowners seeking to infuse their living spaces with the glamour and luxury of the Versace brand. Its key benefit is providing an iconic Versace aesthetic with a satin finish and subtle texture on a durable vinyl-based surface. A potential caveat is the importance of ordering with the same batch number to ensure color consistency, as online images may not perfectly represent the actual color.

FAQs
What does 'paste-the-wall' mean?
Paste-the-wall means you apply the wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall surface where the border will hang, rather than applying it to the back of the border itself. This method is often quicker and less messy.
How do I ensure color consistency when reordering?
Always note the batch number printed on the wallpaper label. When reordering, ensure you request the exact same batch number to prevent color deviations between the original installation and any additions.
Can this wallpaper border be cleaned?
Yes, this wallpaper border is scrubbable. You can gently clean minor marks with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent solution can be used carefully.
What are the dimensions of one roll?
One roll measures 5.00 meters in length and 13 centimeters in width, covering an area of 0.65 square meters.
Is this product suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While it is scrubbable and has good lightfastness, it is recommended for application on clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent surfaces. For very humid environments like bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation and that the wall surface is properly sealed and prepared.
What does FSC Mix certified mean?
It signifies that the non-woven backing material used for the wallpaper is sourced responsibly. It includes wood from FSC-certified forests, which adhere to strict environmental and social standards, and also incorporates recycled materials.
Can I remove this border later?
Yes, the wallpaper border is designed to be dry removable, meaning it should peel off the wall cleanly when you decide to change your decor.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or imperfections after application
Gently push out air bubbles towards the nearest edge using a clean cloth or a wallpaper smoothing tool. If significant, you may need to lift the edge slightly and reapply adhesive.
Color variation between rolls
This can occur if rolls have different batch numbers. Always check the batch number on all rolls before starting. If variations are found, contact the retailer immediately and do not proceed with installation.
Border not sticking well
Ensure the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, absorbent). Check that the correct type of wallpaper adhesive for non-woven 'paste-the-wall' papers was used and applied generously to the wall. Allow adequate drying time.
Difficulty in aligning pattern
While this is a 'free match' pattern, take your time during application to align adjacent strips as closely as possible. Use a sharp knife and straight edge for any necessary trimming.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a paste-the-wall product. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent. Apply wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall where the border will be placed. Carefully hang the dry border strip, aligning it as needed. It does not require any soaking time.
Compatibility: Can be applied to all clean, dry, smooth, firm, and absorbent surfaces. Avoid applying to rough, textured, or freshly painted walls that are not fully cured.
Care: The border is scrubbable, meaning minor marks can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and a soft sponge, wiping gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, which could damage the surface. Ensure the area is dried afterward. For removal, it is dry strippable.
