How to hang non-woven wallpaper

Hanging your non-woven wallpaper is a big step in bringing your personal style to life.

Checklist before hanging

Assemble your tools – Make sure that you have the necessary tools at hand. A complete overview can be found in our tools guide.
Prepare the surface – Walls should be smooth, clean, and dry before you start. See our wall preparation guide for best practices.
Acclimatize the wallpaper – Remove the wallpaper from its packaging, unroll it, and cut each length along the dotted marks to separate the panels. Place the wallpaper in the room where it will be installed for at least 24 hours, allowing the wallpaper to straighten and adjust to the temperature and humidity.
Measure your wall – Confirm that you have enough wallpaper that matches the required height and width. See our measuring guide for more detailed instructions.

Hang your non-woven wallpaper

Unroll the wallpaper and cut along the dotted lines to separate each panel. Make sure each panel corresponds to the full height of your wall.

Pile them flat in numerical order on a clean floor surface, with panel #1 on top (see: 'Length: x' at the top right corner). Place them in the room where they will be installed for at least 24 hours to allow the material to acclimatize.

Apply adhesive to the wall

The first panel sets the foundation for the entire installation.

Lightly mark the width of the first panel on the wall with a pencil. Using a spirit level, draw a fine vertical guideline indicating where the right edge of the panel should align.

Apply adhesive directly to the wall, covering a bit more than the full width of the panel.

Hang the first panel

When facing the wall, application starts on the left-hand side with panel #1.

NOTE: If you added safety margins when ordering, make sure to center the strip vertically on the wall. That way, the excess is evenly distributed at the top and bottom.

Align the wallpaper with your marked vertical guideline and hang the panel from the top down, gently smoothing out air bubbles as you go.

Remove any excess adhesive immediately using a clean, damp sponge or cloth.

Hang the remaining panels

Continue by aligning each new panel, in numerical order, edge-to-edge with the previous one, without overlapping. Apply adhesive to the wall for each panel, extending slightly beyond its width.

Carefully match the pattern, press the edges together firmly, and smooth out any air bubbles. Remove excess adhesive as needed.

Repeat until all panels are up.

Trim and dry

Once all panels are in place, trim excess wallpaper at the ceiling and floor using a sharp knife and straight edge.

Allow the wallpaper to dry at room temperature with good ventilation for at least 24 hours. If a radiator is mounted on the wall, keep it turned off during drying to prevent uneven shrinkage.
