Wallpaper Guide

Preparation

Ensure walls are dry, smooth, clean, and free from dust. Remove any old wallpaper and loose paint.

Walls should have a uniform, light neutral colour with no strong contrasts. If the surface is highly absorbent, apply a primer/sealer. For walls with silk paint, lightly sand the surface to create texture.

Allow new plaster and paint to fully dry before proceeding. For the best results, apply a high-quality lining paper in a cross-lined pattern.

Pasting & Hanging

Our wallpaper is paste-the-wall, meaning the adhesive should be applied directly to the wall, not the back of the wallpaper.

• Use a high-quality paste specifically designed for non-woven wallpaper. Avoid all-purpose or heavy-duty pastes.
• Prepare the paste according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use a pencil and a spirit level to mark guidelines on the wall, ensuring the first strip is perfectly straight.
• Apply the paste evenly to a slightly wider area than the roll width.
• Check the pattern direction before hanging. Hang one length at a time.
• Press the dry wallpaper onto the pasted area with a soft brush, smoothing from the centre outward to remove bubbles. Avoid pushing excess paste into the seams.
• Trim the top and bottom edges with a sharp knife.
• Any paste on the wallpaper surface should be wiped off immediately with a clean, damp sponge. Do not rub.
