Application & Maintenance

Be sure to prepare your surface properly before applying the wallpaper. Make sure the walls are clean and smooth and if you're wallpapering onto wood or plasterboard, make sure you have primed the surface first. If your walls have any issues or staining you may want to use lining paper underneath your wallpaper to give a better final result. Make sure to use a new sharp blade when cutting the wallpaper to fit it to the desired wall. Be sure to add adhesive to the edges of your wallpaper when applying to prevent loose or curling ends. Once the adhesive is applied and wallpaper is secured, smooth out the print by using firm dragging motions towards the edges of the paper to avoid bubbles. To avoid unsightly streaks in your finish, be sure to rinse off the walls with a cloth in the seams after hanging. We recommend always following the manufacturer’s instructions.
