Prepare your Wall:

Preparing your wall is key to ensuring a perfect installation, so please follow the below steps carefully.

Remove any nails or screws from the wall and fill any holes with Spackle/Polyfilla

Once the Spackle/Polyfilla is dry, sand and smooth the surface

Wipe the smoothed surface with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any dust from sanding

Walls should be plastered and painted white with a high-quality primer. Walls painted with a dark colour paint will influence the colour of your wallpaper (particularly if your wallpaper is light in colour), so a white wall is the best option

Your wall should be smooth, clean and dry. Lumps and bumps on the wall, as well as any dark markings on the wall will show through, and damp walls will not allow the adhesive to work properly, which may cause your wallpaper to lift over time

Turn off your electricity at the mains, before carefully removing any plug socket and light switch covers. These will be put back on once the wallpaper has been applied. This is not completely necessary as you can also trim around the sockets if you prefer but allowing the wallpaper to go slightly under the socket cover before putting the cover back on is very neat and tidy, but it is completely up to you

Mix your paste in the bucket and allow to sit while you prepare the panels

Our wallpaper is hung left to right, starting with the first panel on the left of the wall
Measure approximately 68cm and using a light pencil, mark this distance from the left edge of the wall

Using a spirit level, draw a light vertical pencil line at this mark, at least 10cms long
This will guide the right edge of your first wallpaper panel

Apply the paste straight onto the wall using your paintbrush on the top, bottom and left edges to make sure it reaches right into the edges, then using your paint roller, roll the paste onto the rest of the area up to the pencil line and approximately 40cms over the line in preparation for the next panel

Be sure to evenly cover the entire surface with the paste, any missed areas may cause the paper to lift or bubble

Inspect the wallpaper as it’s unrolled for any defects or damage.

Hang the first panel onto the adhesive, allowing a slight overhang at the top for trimming
Align the right edge of the panel with the pencil line you have marked
Smooth the panel using a wallpaper brush/smoother, working from the ceiling down and centre out to the edges
Be careful not to get any paste on your wallpaper brush/smoother
Press firmly into edges, skirting boards, and coving

Trim the roll at the bottom of the panel

Repeat for each panel, butt - joining the edges (no overlap) and matching the pattern
Wipe away any excess paste immediately with a damp sponge
Once all panels are applied and dry, trim excess wallpaper from the ceiling, floor and corners, using a sharp blade and metal ruler
Replace socket and switch covers if removed
Keep the room at a comfortable temperature and ventilated for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to dry

Congratulations, you are DONE - We hope you love your wallpaper!
