How To?

To ensure that your wallpaper fits perfectly, simply measure the complete wall's width and height. We create your wallpaper according to your exact specifications, so we suggest adding 6-10 cm (2.5-4 inches) to both the width and height measurements to allow for any potential assembly errors. For guidance on measuring different wall types, please refer to the examples provided below.

Standard Walls

Measure the complete wall's width and height accurately. We create your wallpaper based on your precise specifications, so we advise adding 6-10 cm (2.5-4 inches) to both the width and height measurements to accommodate for assembly errors. Please ensure that you double-check your measurements to ensure accuracy.

Sloped Walls

Measure the highest and widest points of the wall, while disregarding any slopes. The mural will be printed and delivered as a complete rectangle or square, with the sloped portion removed during installation. To account for any installation errors, we suggest adding 6-10 cm (2.5-4 inches) to both the width and height measurements.

Pitched Walls

Measure the longest part of the wall for both the width and height. The mural will be created as a complete rectangle or square, and the sloped part will be removed during installation. To allow for any potential installation errors, we suggest adding 6-10 cm (2.5-4 inches) to both the width and height measurements.

Walls with Doors, Windows, or Obstacles

To measure walls with doors, windows, or other obstacles, measure the complete wall's width and height. During installation, all obstacles will be removed. We create your wallpaper based on your exact specifications, so we recommend adding 6-10 cm (2.5-4 inches) to both the width and height measurements to allow for any installation errors.

Staircases

When measuring a staircase wall, identify the highest and lowest points of the wall for the height measurement, and for the width measurement. The sloped parts will be removed during installation. To allow for any installation errors, we suggest adding 6-10 cm (2.5-4 inches) to both the width and height measurements.

Multiple Walls For Murals 

To measure multiple walls for murals, measure the width of each wall and combine the measurements when placing your order. Add 5 cm (2 inches) per wall as a safety margin. Then, measure the height, starting from the highest point and adding 6-10cm (2.5-4inches) to the measurement to accommodate for any installation errors. There's no need to order the mural in two separate parts.

 ***Note- Each wallpaper or mural order is custom printed with great care and effort. We cannot guarantee color accuracy for separately placed orders. To ensure that you have enough material to cover your project, we highly recommend ordering approximately 2.5-4 inches extra than your calculated amount. If you need assistance with your order, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please carefully read the instructions below before starting the installation process. It's advisable to test the installation with a wallpaper sample first before proceeding with a larger purchase.

Wall Preparation

The wall preparation is a crucial step in the installation process. The wall must be smooth, free of any textures, and have no contaminants. Fill any holes and sand down rough areas to ensure the wall is flat and smooth. Clean and dry the wall before beginning the installation.

Note: The Peel and Stick Wallpaper can be removed and reapplied multiple times, but its adhesive effectiveness may decrease if it accumulates too much dust, dirt, or fibers.

Recommended Tools:

  • Spirit level
  • Smoothing tool
  • Pencil
  • Sharp utility knife with extra blades

Hanging Preparation

The Peel and Stick Wallpaper panels come numbered in the order they should be hung. Lay the panels out side by side, ensuring that they are in order, without any defects or damages, and the print is aligned across all panels. It's recommended that two people perform the installation.

It is essential that the first panel is installed correctly. To ensure that the first panel is straight, draw vertical markings (64.5 cm from the left corner) using a spirit level, measuring tool, and a pencil. Use these markings as a guide when hanging the first panel. The markings should be as faint as possible to avoid showing through the wallpaper.

Installing the First Panel

The first panel installation is straightforward, like applying a sticker. Start from a corner and gently peel the backing paper from the wallpaper. Apply the top of the panel to the wall, starting from the top left corner, making sure the left edge aligns with the vertical line. Peel away more backing paper as you move downward and smooth and fix the paper to the wall. If necessary, lift and re-apply the panel to align it correctly and eliminate bubbles.

Additional Panels

Apply the second and subsequent panels, making sure the pattern matches up and the paper overlaps the top and bottom edges. The panels should be applied edge to edge, with each panel butting up against the next on the wall, without overlapping. Press the panels together firmly at the seams, avoiding hard creases. If there are any bubbles or wrinkles, lightly press or smooth them out or peel back and re-apply that area. Note: Pressing too hard won't damage the wallpaper.

Trimming the Bottom, Top, and Side

Once all the panels are hung, trim the top and bottom edges, plus the far right side, using a trim guide and a sharp utility knife. Ensure you have a sharp blade for the best results.

Useful Tips

If a bubble reappears in the next day or two, press lightly and smooth it out towards the edge. This may happen if oil, dirt, or dust is on the wall under the wallpaper. Alternatively, use a sewing pin to pop the bubble and then smooth it out in a circular motion with your fingers.

Removing the Wallpaper

To remove the wallpaper, grab a corner and gently peel away from the wall.

 

Before starting the installation process, carefully review the detailed instructions below. It's advisable to try installing a wallpaper sample first before proceeding with a larger order.

Wall Preparation

The preparation of the wall is a crucial step in the wallpaper installation process. The wall should be smooth, without any texture or rough areas, and free of any contaminants. Fill in any holes or dents and sand the surface to ensure it's flat and smooth. Clean and dry the wall before beginning the installation.

Recommended Tools:

  • Paste
  • Roller & tray
  • Spirit level
  • Drop cloth
  • Sponge/cloth
  • Pencil
  • Sharp utility knife and extra blades
  • Seam roller
  • Smoothing tool
  • Trim guide

Hanging Preparation

Your wallpaper will arrive in a roll and be divided into numbered panels according to the order in which they should be hung. Unpack the panels and lay them out, making sure that none are missing or have defects or damage. The panels should be hung from left to right and edge to edge, and it's recommended that two people install the wallpaper. To ensure the first panel is hung straight, use a spirit level, measuring tool, and pencil to make faint, vertical markings as a guide.

Apply Paste

Apply an even layer of paste directly to the wall or to the paper using a roller or brush. Cover an entire panel area with paste, ensuring there are no unpasted spots to avoid blisters under the wallpaper. If applying the paste to the paper, book the paper immediately to keep the paste moist and allow it to expand.

Paste Quantity

To determine if enough paste has been applied, you can draw on the wall with your finger. If you can draw a pattern, you have applied enough paste.

Booking the Paper

Before hanging the paper, it's necessary to book it by folding it over paste-to-paste to relax it for several minutes. This will prevent any bubbles or wrinkles from forming. Gently fold the top and bottom pasted sides together to meet in the middle, avoiding creases in the print. Allow the paper to rest for at least 3-5 minutes before hanging.

Helpful Tip

Having a flat surface and bright overhead lighting can be helpful during the installation process. You can use a flashlight or cell phone to verify that the entire length of paper is covered in paste and moisten any dry spots you find.

 


Begin Hanging

After the first wallpaper panel has been allowed to rest for 3-5 minutes during the booking process, lift it up and carefully unfold only the top half of the paper, keeping the white edge with the barcode information still folded.

 

 

Installing the First Panel

Begin at the top left corner and hang in a straight vertical line, making sure the left edge aligns with your vertical line and using the pencil markings as a guide. If the ceiling is not straight, start 2.5 cm above the ceiling and trim once dry for a straight and even edge. Have a friend check for level and straightness. In corners, use the edge as a guide. Once in place, unfold the bottom half of the panel and smooth down with a damp sponge or smoothing tool, removing any air bubbles by pressing gently and moving to the edges.

Adding Additional Panels

Hang the next panels, matching the pattern and image, and allowing the appropriate amount of paper to run over the top and bottom edges. Panels should be applied edge to edge without overlapping.

 


Press panels together firmly at the seams using a seam roller for best results. Avoid getting wallpaper paste on the front of the mural to prevent it from showing once dry. Avoid hard creases, as it may cause cracks in the print.

If there are bubbles or wrinkles, gently smooth them out or peel back the area and reapply. Note that pressing too hard may transfer ink from your hands onto other surfaces.

Trim Button, Top & Side

Once all panels are hung, carefully trim the top, bottom, and far right side of the panels using a trim guide and sharp utility knife. Take your time and make sure you have a sharp blade for best results.

To remove the wallpaper, moisten it and wait a few minutes, then scrape gently. You can also consult a specialist for professional advice.

 WALL PREPARATION

The wall must be prepared prior to installation, ensuring a smooth and even surface free of texture or contaminants. Fill in any holes and sand rough areas for a flat and smooth wall. The wall must be clean and dry before installation.

REQUIRED TOOLS

  • Bucket Roller and tray
  • Spirit level
  • Drop cloth
  • Sponge or cloth
  • Pencil Sharp
  • utility knife and extra blades
  • Seam roller Smoothing tool
  • Trim guide

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

Your pre-pasted, water-activated wallpaper comes in numbered panels, which should be hung from left to right, edge to edge. Carefully unpack the panels, lay them out and check for any missing, damaged or misaligned panels.

It is recommended to have two people for the installation process.

Ensure the first panel is straight by marking vertical lines 64.5 cm from the left corner using a spirit level, measuring tool, and pencil. Use these markings as a guide when hanging the first panel. The markings should be as faint as possible to avoid showing through the wallpaper.

BOOKING THE WALLPAPER

Before hanging the paper, it is necessary to "book" it by folding it paste-to-paste to prevent expansion on the wall, which can cause bubbles and wrinkles. This process should be done immediately after the paper is soaked or sprayed with water.

There are a few ways to book the paper:

  • Wet the back of the paper thoroughly with a paint roller or sponge.
  • Wet the adhesive thoroughly with a spray bottle, ensuring even coverage throughout the panel.

A flat surface and bright overhead lighting can be helpful in verifying that the entire length of paper is saturated. If there are dry spots, wet them.

Fold the top and bottom pasted sides of the paper together, to meet in the middle. Avoid creasing the paper to prevent cracks in the print. Allow the booked panel to rest for 3-5 minutes before hanging. The paper fibers will expand when wet and tighten again when dry for a smooth finish.

 

BEGIN HANGING THE WALLPAPER 

After letting the first panel soak for 3-5 minutes after booking, carefully unroll only the top portion of the paper while keeping the bottom half still folded with the barcode information visible.

  

INSTALLING THE FIRST PANEL 

Begin by placing the top left corner of the wallpaper at the top left of the wall and align it with your vertical markings. If the ceiling line is not straight, start 2.5 cm above it and trim the paper once it's dry for a straight and even edge. Check for level and straightness with the help of a friend or the corner edge. Then, unroll the bottom half of the panel and smooth it onto the wall with a damp sponge or smoothing tool, removing any air bubbles as you go.

INSTALLING THE ADDITIONAL PANEL

Ensure the pattern matches and hang the rest of the panels edge to edge, not overlapping, and with enough paper over the top and bottom edges. Each panel should be aligned with the previous one on the wall.

 

Firmly join the panels at the seams, using a seam roller for optimal results. Avoid applying wallpaper paste on the front of the mural as it will become visible when it dries. Keep in mind that excessive creasing may cause cracks in the print.

If there are any air bubbles or wrinkles, gently press or smooth them out, or peel back the affected area and reapply. Note that excessive pressure will not harm the wallpaper but may transfer ink onto your hands and other surfaces.

TRIM BOTTOM, TOP AND SIDE
After all panels are installed, precisely trim the top, bottom, and far right sides of the panels using a trim guide and a sharp utility knife. Take your time to ensure a clean, sharp cut.

HOW TO REMO
To remove the wallpaper, start at a corner of a panel and peel it away from the wall gently. A damp sponge may help to reactivate the adhesive, making it easier to remove. Once all the wallpaper is removed, wipe the wall with a damp sponge to eliminate any remaining adhesive residue.
