Installation Guide: Pre-pasted Wallpaper

step n°1: preparationWall Preparation

Before starting, make sure your wall is perfectly clean, dry, smooth, and even. If the surface has significant imperfections or damaged paint, apply a smoothing compound followed by a primer.

• Remove any obstacles: nails, screws, wall plugs, and outlet or switch covers. Fill any cracks if necessary.
• Turn off the power before removing outlet and switch covers.
• Sand any porous or rough areas, then clean the wall with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours.
• Finishing: For best results, apply a light, even coat of paint to prevent the wall color from showing through the wallpaper.

step n°2: getting startedMeasure and mark a guide

Our wallpapers are delivered in made-to-measure panels, ready to hang to make installation easier.

• Check that the dimensions received match your order. In case of any visual defect, do not install the product and contact our customer service.
• Check the pattern and alignment before starting.
• Measure the width of the first panel and transfer this measurement onto the wall.
• Using a level, lightly draw a vertical pencil guideline to ensure a perfectly straight installation.

step n°3: paste activationMoisten the wallpaper

Important: this wallpaper is pre-pasted. The adhesive is activated simply with water. No additional glue is required.

• Fill a tray or use a spray bottle with clean, lukewarm water.
• Evenly moisten the back of the panel, paying special attention to the edges to activate the adhesive across the entire surface.
• Wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes for the paper to become flexible. It should be damp, not soaking wet.
• Handle the panel carefully to avoid creases or tears.

step n°4: installationHang your panels

• Start with panel n°1, following the order indicated at the bottom of each strip, from left to right. Carefully align it with the guideline drawn on the wall.
• Check alignment with a level and adjust if necessary by gently repositioning.
• Smooth the wallpaper using a soft brush or smoothing tool, working from the center outwards to remove air bubbles and ensure proper adhesion.
• Immediately wipe away any excess paste with a soft sponge or a slightly damp microfiber cloth.

step n°5: matching seamsRepeat the process

• Repeat the process for each panel, moistening the back just before application until the entire wall is covered.
• As the pattern matching is pre-aligned thanks to the made-to-measure production, simply slide the panels slightly to achieve a seamless design continuity.

step n°6: almost there!Finishing and cleaning

• Regularly clean the surface with a slightly damp sponge or cloth to remove any marks.
• Once all panels are installed, trim excess wallpaper using a sharp cutter along the ceiling, baseboards, and corners for a clean finish.
• Congratulations, installation is complete! Allow to dry naturally at room temperature, avoiding drafts and significant temperature changes to prevent shrinking or peeling.
