Step 1: PREPARE

PAINT / PRIME WALLS FIRST

• You can install this wallpaper over any latex paint that has cured (dried) for twenty-one days.

• Do not install this wallpaper over regular latex primer. It will be difficult to "slide" around on the wall, and the primer may chip off under the wallpaper.

• If your wallpaper design is light-coloured or white, a dark-coloured paint may show through the wallpaper.

PREP YOUR SURFACE

• Make sure electrical outlets are off and remove any wall fixtures.

• Sand down any bumps with fine sandpaper to create a smooth wall.

• Clean (with a sponge and gentle all-purpose cleaner), dry and smooth all surfaces.

LAYOUT YOUR WALLPAPER

• Unroll and separate your wallpaper panels. Let them uncurl until flat on the floor before starting.

• Look for Tile Numbers labelled on the edge of each panel, then arrange them in order as shown in the graphic.

• Each panel comes with a horizontal 1” overlap for a seamless installation.

MAKE YOUR MARKS

• On the left side of your wall, measure out from the corner, 23.5” W to 24” W and mark the wall lightly with a pencil or with tape.

• Put your level / plumb on this mark and draw (OR use the tape) to make a straight, level, vertical line from floor to ceiling. This line is the guide for your first panel later.

STEP 2: INSTALL

SOAK OR SPRAY

• To protect your floors, lay out a towel before starting. Fill a bin with lukewarm water and place it against the wall.

• Roll your first wallpaper panel, starting at the bottom with the pattern facing in (blank side facing out). The top of the wallpaper should be the last part rolled up.

• Dunk the rolled-up wallpaper into the water for 15 seconds to soak it. The water activates the paste and does not harm the paper. Then slowly pull the top of the panel out of the Bin, climbing the ladder as you go.

• Alternatively, use a spray bottle to wet the back of your pre-pasted wallpaper on a clean flat surface. Soak it thoroughly and let it sit for 5 minutes.

INSTALLING THE FIRST PANEL

• For best results, install with two people.

• Start at the top left corner with Tile #1, place the first panel on the wall and slide it against the plumb line. You can slide the panel on the wall for up to 2 minutes, making it easy to line up.

• Ensure there is at least 1-2” of excess wallpaper pattern to trim at the ceiling and baseboard.

• Gently smooth the air bubbles out with your sponge smoother. Be careful to avoid pressing paste out. Any air bubbles left will disappear and flatten in 24 hours.

• Keep the sponge clean, and rinse often if needed.

INSTALLING REMAINING PANELS

• Repeat the procedure by aligning your next panel to the right edge of the previous panel and overlapping the new panel 1" to the left for a seamless finish.

• Pre-pasted wallpaper slides around on the wall for a couple of minutes, so it's easy for you to match the pattern up at the seams.

• Ensure each panel is straight with your level.

Step 3: TRIM

GRAB YOUR RULER

• Only cut and trim the wallpaper once it is on the wall and still wet using your sharp X-acto knife.

• Change the blade often to help keep a smooth, clean cut since wet wallpaper is more prone to tearing.

• Trim the excess off at the ceiling, baseboards, corners and around windows.

• Gently wipe the seam, baseboard and ceiling with a damp cloth to remove the residual paste.
