To ensure a smooth installation, prepare the wall by ensuring it is free of texture, holes, and rough areas. Fill any holes and sand down rough spots to create a perfectly smooth and flat surface, free of contaminants. The wall should be clean and dry before you begin the installation.

Your Traditional Wallpaper arrives in a roll and is supplied in numbered panels according to the order in which they should be hung. Carefully unpack the panels, ensuring none are missing or damaged, and that the print aligns correctly across all panels.
For optimal installation, it is recommended to have two people working together. Use a spirit level and measuring tool to draw faint vertical markings one panel width (21 inches) in from the left corner. These markings will serve as a guide when hanging the first panel.
-
Apply an even layer of paste either directly to the wall or to the back of the paper using a roller or brush. Ensure the paste covers a whole panel area in width and height, avoiding any unpasted spots that could create blisters. Use your finger to test the paste's thickness—if you can draw a pattern with your finger, you know you have enough paste.
-
Before hanging the paper, "book" it to prevent expansion and potential bubbles. Fold the pasted sides of the paper together, paste-to-paste, and let it relax for several minutes. After booking, the paper can fully expand and relax its curl.
-
Start by properly booking the first panel for 3-5 minutes.
Begin installing from the top left corner, ensuring the left-hand edge aligns with the vertical markings.
Use your pencil markings as a guide for alignment.
Unfold the top half of the panel, leaving the folded white edge with barcode information intact.
Smooth the paper onto the wall, using a damp sponge or smoothing tool to remove air bubbles.
Continue with the second and subsequent panels, matching the pattern seamlessly without overlapping.
Press the panels together firmly at the seams, using a seam roller for the best results.
Lightly press or smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles as needed.
Once all panels are hung, carefully trim the top, bottom, and far right sides using a trim guide and sharp utility knife.
-
To remove the wallpaper, moisten it, wait for a few minutes, then gently scrape it off. For professional advice, consult a specialist.

Carefully unpack the Peel and Stick Wallpaper panels, checking for any defects, damages, or missing panels. Lay out the numbered panels from left to right, ensuring the print aligns correctly across all panels.
For optimal installation, it is recommended to have two people working together. To ensure the first panel is hung straight, use a leveling tool and measuring tool to draw faint vertical markings one panel width (21 inches) in from the left corner. These markings will serve as a guide when hanging the first panel, ensuring a straight installation.
-
1. Begin by peeling the backing paper gently from the top left corner of the first panel.
2. Align the left-hand edge of the panel with the vertical markings and apply the top of the panel to the wall.
3. Smooth using a tool such as a squeegee and fix the paper to the wall while gradually peeling away more of the backing paper as you move downward.
4. Lift and re-apply the panel if necessary to align correctly and eliminate any bubbles or wrinkles.
5. Continue with the second and subsequent panels, ensuring the pattern matches up seamlessly without overlapping.
6. Press the panels together firmly at the seams, avoiding hard creases.
7. Lightly press or smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles that may appear, or gently peel back the area and re-apply.
8. Once all panels are hung, trim the top, bottom, and far right sides using a sharp utility knife and trim guide.
-
- Take your time and use a sharp blade for precise trimming.
- If bubbles re-appear, lightly press and smooth them to the edge. You can use a sewing pin to pop the bubble, then smooth it out in a circular motion.
- To remove the wallpaper, gently grab a corner and peel it away from the wall.
