Wall preparation
To begin, ensure your wall surface is smooth, clean, and thoroughly dry. For uneven surfaces or flaking paint, we recommend using a smoothing compound and a primer. Also, make sure there’s no dirt, dust, grease, mold, or remnants of previous wallpaper that could affect the wallpaper’s adhesion.
1.
Remove any nails, screws, and other materials, and fill any cracks with a smoothing compound.
2.
Turn off the electricity and remove the covers from your outlets and switches.
3.
Smooth the surface by sanding the porous areas with sandpaper
4.
Clean the walls using a sponge, warm water, and mild soap, then allow the walls to dry for at least 24 hours.
5.
We recommend painting your wall with a light, even color to prevent dark colors or patterns from showing through the wallpaper in the light.
Please note that it is important not to use solvent-based adhesive to avoid discoloration.
Step 1
Measure and mark a reference point.
1.
To begin, please measure all your wallpaper strips to ensure the dimensions match your order, and check the alignment by laying them side by side, following the numbering on the back of each strip.
If you notice any inconsistencies in the printed design, do not install the product and contact our customer service.
2.
Using a level tool, lightly mark a pencil guide the width of your first wallpaper strip. This guide is essential to ensure a straight installation.
Step 2
Apply adhesive on your wall
3.
Important: To ensure a successful installation, it is essential that the first strip is applied straight. Use a spirit level to mark the width of each strip on the wall with a pencil. This will give you a visual guide when positioning your strips and ensure smooth alignment during application.
4.
Using a suitable brush or roller, apply a layer of wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall. Prepare the adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions and recommended dosage. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before use. Ensure the application is smooth and even to avoid creating air bubbles.
Step 3
Apply your wallpaper strips
5.
Following the marks made in step 1, smooth the first strip onto the wall, placing it from top to bottom and working your way down slowly. Once the strip is applied, we recommend checking with a spirit level to ensure it is straight.
6.
Carefully smooth the wallpaper and eliminate any air bubbles or wrinkles using a plastic smoothing tool or a microfiber sponge.
7.
If you have multiple strips, repeat the process by smoothing the next strip edge to edge, without overlapping. Visually match the pattern and adjust the position of the strips until the design aligns perfectly. Smooth with a soft cloth or a plastic tool.
Step 4
Repeat the process
8.
Important: Gently remove any excess adhesive as you go using a non-scratch sponge or a clean, damp microfiber cloth. Similarly, if any adhesive drips onto the surface of the wallpaper, remove it immediately and carefully (do not scrub).
9.
Continue applying each strip using the method described above until the wallpaper covers the intended area.
10.
Once the adhesive application is complete, trim the excess wallpaper from the top and bottom of each strip using a sharp utility knife. The blade should be thin and sharp to avoid any tearing.
11.
Well done, you’re finished! ???? Now all you need to do is let your wallpaper dry at room temperature and admire your work! Make sure the room is well-ventilated. If there’s a heat source, such as a radiator, on the wall where you applied the wallpaper, feel free to lower the temperature or turn it off for the first 24 hours of drying to reduce the risk of shrinkage.
