Application

To help make the application process smooth and stress free, we have put together a handy guide of the recommended tools to use when applying your gorgeous new wallpaper designs!

Application Tools:

• Tape measure and ruler for accurate measurements
• Bladed knife for precision trimming
• Press roller for smooth adhesion
• Spirit level to ensure that the adhesive wallpaper is straight

Please find below our step-by-step guide to the glue-free application process:

1. Clean the surface area you wish to cover, using a non-oil-based cleaner and damp, lint-free cloth
2. Wait until the wall is completely dry prior to application
3. Measure the walls at their longest and widest points
4. Prepare your first panel of adhesive wallpaper to the height of the wall, adding around 10cm (or 3 inches) of excess material at the bottom
5. Make sure to align your design of choice with each consecutive panel to ensure your elegant design matches up perfectly!
6. Expert tip: if you are cutting panels prior to application, note the number of the panel on the back
7. Peel away the adhesive wallpaper backing by around 20cm (6 inches)
8. Use a spirit level to mark the top line to ensure this is straight
9. Use a press roller or felt wallpaper squeegee to gently smooth the paper against the wall surface, working from the centre outwards to eliminate air pockets
10. Continue peeling away the backing paper, and smoothing the adhesive wallpaper on the wall until you reach the bottom
11. Trim the excess away with a bladed knife

The unique benefit of adhesive wallpaper is that, even if you do happen to make a mistake, you can simply remove the wallpaper gently and reapply. If any creases appear during the application, please peel away carefully starting from a corner.To remove your wallpaper, whether to reapply or because you would like a change you do not need any solutions or water; simply peel gently away, always beginning in a corner.

The Deco Paperie wallpapers are all crease resistant, so any accidental creases that appear will quickly disappear as the material returns to the original shape!

Remember that our materials are fully recyclable; so if you have finished using your wall coverings make sure to recycle them!
