Here we illustrate the Wallpaper Installation & Removal Do’s and Don’ts :
What should I consider before choosing a wallpaper installation for my walls?
The most important pre-requisite while choosing a wall décor is to assess the condition of your walls. They must not be damaged or freshly painted. In case there’s any flaking paint or defects in wall surfaces, they need to be addressed first. Walls must be free of grease and dirt. Any picture hooks, switch and outlet plates need to be removed.
Do I need to trim my Wallpaper while installing?
Do not pre-trim your Wallpaper. After wallpaper has been installed, some overage needs to be trimmed. Overage is typically given to take care of irregular walls or ceiling lines.
How do I ensure the seam doesn’t show on larger Wallpaper?
For some images you can eliminate the look of the seam. For multi-panel Wallpapers there’s a one-inch bleed added on each side. You can double-cut the Wallpaper to match the seams.

Can I install wallpaper in Bathrooms or high-moisture areas?
You need to take certain precautions while installing wallpapers in Bathrooms. The area needs to be coated with Polyurethane. This makes it not only water resistant but also provides added precaution for moisture ridden areas. If you do detect any moisture behind the walls, use any adhesive which contains Mildewcide. It will kill any mildew or moulds and prevent moisture from seeping in your walls.
How long does it take for Wallpaper to dry in high- moisture areas like Bathrooms?
As a rule Wallpapers generally dry overnight. This may take longer in case your building is an old one. When the wallpaper is wet, it can rip off easily so it’s important to take care with furniture and other articles in the room. With bathrooms, ideally leave the exhaust fan on or keep the door ajar to facilitate the drying process.
Can I apply wallpaper over wallpaper?
Not recommended. Your old wallpaper will hamper the smooth installation of the new one and may look cracked and lumpy.
What kind of a wall surface is needed for Wallpaper installation?
A smoother wall surface is preferable that is free of bumps and indents for best results
While installing Wallpapers, what precautions are required with light switches and other wall objects?
You will have to remove any light switch covers and other objects while installation.
I have recently got my walls painted. How long should I wait before installing Wallpapers on my walls?
You may need to wait for around a week ideally. Wallpapers applied on wet and damp walls do not stick well. They may even peel your paint off while taking them off.

Will there be a sticky residue on my walls after wallpaper removal?
No residue will remain on your walls. If it does in one odd case, simply wipe the wall surface with a clean damp cloth or sponge.
Will the wallpaper peel off or damage my walls?
Ideally no! But this would also depend on the state and quality of your wall paints.
Can I install wallpaper on a damp wall?
No! The surface needs to be smooth and dry. Wallpapers applied on a damp wall may not stick to surface correctly and may start peeling off too. It may damage the wall paint as well while removing the wallpaper.
