Wallpaper - How to Order and Install

Before ordering and installing, please complete these steps to ensure long lasting and perfect results. 

Please do not skip a step. 

 

Step 1

Firstly, you need to establish if your walls and paint are suitable for removable wallpaper. You will need to contact your paint manufacturer for help.

Our wallpaper will NOT stick to:

  • washable and stain resistant paint e.g. dulux wash and wear
  • paint containing Teflon
  • textured walls

These paints contain additives that repel removable wallpaper.

Step 2

Once you’ve established that your walls and paint are suitable for removable wallpaper, please order a sample; allowing you to fully experience and test the design, texture, colours* and patterns.

A true to scale depicts a small section of the wallpaper as it would appear on a full sized wall. A sample pack includes both a true to scale sample, and a not to scale sample - this depicts the complete image to give you a sense of the overall design. 

*Allow for variation in colour between samples and full sized products. Colour will not be an exact match as it is impossible to exactly match colour on different print runs. 

Even if your sample adheres, NEVER apply our wallpaper to Teflon based paint or washable/stain resistant paint. The heavier weight of wallpaper means it will NOT adhere to Teflon based paint/washable paint. 

We aim to ship samples within 2 weeks of purchase.

Step 3 

WALL PREP STEP 1 - SAND:

To achieve perfect and long lasting results from our wall coverings, meticulously following our wall prep guidelines is CRITICAL.

Before installing our wallpaper and wall decals, lightly sand the wall with a 240 or finer sandpaper (to remove any texture, and to ensure a SMOOTH surface… the more contact area with the surface area, the better the adhesion).

WALL PREP STEP 2 - SELF ADHESIVE PREP COAT:

If in doubt about your paint, or if your paint is washable/ Teflon based… ALWAYS  prep your walls before wallpaper application - lightly sand then apply Vipond's clear self adhesive prep coat as per the manufacturers guidelines.  This ensures adhesion, and actually makes installation easier. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before wallpaper application.

For more information, head to our product information page:

Purchase prep coat here (or purchase with your wallpaper - use the drop down menu):

https://www.minnieandmeinteriors.com/products/self-adhesive-prep-coat?_pos=1&_sid=8981e084c&_ss=r

Follow the application instructions here from the manufacturer:

Remember... prepping is always a good idea... even if you think that your paint is suitable for removable wallpaper and decals, as Viponds enhances the adhesion of self adhesive digital prints.  We recommend that ALL walls are prepped with Viponds, as it is best practice to assume that most paints are washable and most paints contain Teflon, even if it is not listed as an ingredient by the paint manufacturer. 

Step 4

Order your wallpaper.

Use the drop down menu, and choose from Luxe or Standard width panels. More info is found here:

https://www.minnieandmeinteriors.com/apps/help-center#hc-standard-width-versus-luxe-width-wallpaper-whats-the-difference 

Once you have chosen between Luxe or Standard width, then use the drop down menus to select your height range, then width range.

Enter your EXACT wall dimensions in centimetres into the box provided. We cut your wallpaper to YOUR dimensions, so please measure accurately. Tips for measuring are found here:

https://www.minnieandmeinteriors.com/apps/help-center#hc-how-do-i-measure-for-wallpaper

Please ensure you order enough wallpaper for your project, as we can not guarantee that wallpaper printed on a different print run will be an exact colour match. This is due to possible variation in inks and/or peel and stick fabric, and multiple printers being in use. Further, purchasing extensions or "patch pieces" is not always possible.

Step 6

Get styling! The really fun part.

Please leave us a review, with a photo of your finished room. We absolutely love seeing the beautiful and unique spaces that you create. It makes our day! 

We often get asked about whether it’s ok to use self adhesive hooks on our wallpaper. You definitely can, but we would only recommend using self adhesive hooks to hang very light decorative items only, not heavy picture frames/ mirrors, which could loosen the wallpaper’s adhesive. We suggest using traditional picture hooks or 'wall mates' for heavier wall décor. Remember to seek advice from your local hardware store to help you choose the correct and safest hardware for your wall décor.
