Step 1

Arrange the Panels

The panel numbers are printed on a white strip.

Panel 1 starts on the left. Place the remaining panels next to it in numerical order and check that the image matches.

Cut away the white numbered strips before installation.

Check the panel joins Depending on your order, the panels may meet edge to edge or use a 1.5 cm overlap. Place two neighbouring panels together before applying adhesive to see how they match.
Preparing the supplied wallpaper adhesive with water
Step 2

Prepare the Adhesive

Fill a clean bucket with the correct amount of clean water. Slowly pour in the adhesive powder while stirring with a large spoon or another clean household utensil.

Continue stirring for approximately 3–4 minutes until the adhesive becomes smooth and thicker.

Adhesive package Water required
Narrow, long package 1.5-2 litres per package
Square package 3.5–4 litres per package
Please check the package If you have more than one adhesive package, increase the amount of water accordingly. Always follow the instructions printed on the package if they differ from this guide.
Applying wallpaper adhesive directly to the wall
Step 3

Apply the Adhesive to the Wall

Use a brush or roller to spread an even layer of adhesive directly onto the wall.

Apply enough adhesive for one panel at a time. Cover an area slightly wider than the panel, including the edges.

There is no need to cover the entire wall with adhesive at once.

Step 4

Place the First Panel

Start with panel 1 on the left side of the wall. Position the top first, leaving a small amount of extra wallpaper above and below for final trimming.

Gently press the panel onto the wall from top to bottom. While the adhesive is still wet, you can carefully move the panel to correct its position.

Smoothing wallpaper gently with a clean soft cloth
Step 5

Smooth and Add the Remaining Panels

Use a clean, soft and slightly damp cloth to smooth the wallpaper gently from the centre towards the edges. This helps remove any trapped air.

Continue with the remaining panels from left to right. Carefully match the image before smoothing each panel completely.

Use gentle pressure Do not scrub the printed surface. If adhesive gets onto the front, wipe it away immediately with a clean cloth moistened with water and thoroughly wrung out.
Trimming excess wallpaper at the ceiling and floor
Step 6

Trim and Leave to Dry

After all panels are in place, carefully trim the excess wallpaper at the ceiling and floor with scissors or a sharp knife.

Allow the wallpaper to dry naturally. Avoid strong heat, open windows and draughts while it is drying.

Do not worry Small bubbles or slightly darker-looking joins may appear while the wallpaper is wet. These normally disappear after it has dried completely.

Care and Cleaning

Your wallpaper mural requires only simple and gentle cleaning.

  • Use a clean cloth moistened with water and thoroughly wrung out.
  • Wipe gently without applying hard pressure.
  • Do not use chemical cleaners, rough sponges or brushes.
Please check your wallpaper before applying adhesive. If the design, dimensions or panels appear incorrect, stop the installation and contact our customer support team.
