How to Hang Our Wallpaper

When in doubt, hire a professional. But, if not, here’s the details.

Our wallpaper comes with more complete instructions inside the roll.

Wall Prep

  • Walls should be clean, dry and even.

  • Remove any old wallpaper and loose paint.

  • Roughen painted surfaces with sandpaper.

  • Scrape powdery, flaky surfaces. Absorbent surfaces should be prepared with an oil based primer ensuring it dries completely.

  • New plaster should be allowed to dry out completely.

  • We would recommend measuring and then making lines every 20.4” (the width of the wallpaper) and painting lines of the base color of the paper to obscure seams and avoid shrinkage seams!

Pasting and Hanging

  • This is a ‘paste the wall’ product. The decorator should paste the wall and not the back of the wallcovering.

  • A Premium Quality Tub Adhesive, or an equivalent good quality, solvent-free, fungicide protected, light grade adhesive should be used. We like Roman
    Pro- 880.

  • Paste should be evenly applied to the wall to hang 1 length at a time, to an area slightly wider than the width of the roll. Cut with sharp knife or sharp scissors.

  • • Butt joins and use a decorator’s brush to smooth down the wallcovering, working from the centre to the edges to express air bubbles.

  • Paste will damage the surface. The company cannot accept responsibility for marks or damage caused by paste.

  • • Should any paste have been allowed to come into contact with the surface, it should be lightly sponged whilst still moist, using a clean damp sponge.

  • • Trim top and bottom with a sharp knife or scissors.

  • Ensure it all looks good! and your done!
