Before you start

Three rules for a perfect wall

  1. 01

    Numbered panels

    Your panels arrive numbered and rolled in hanging order.

  2. 02

    Left to right

    Panel one always goes on the left, against a true vertical line.

  3. 03

    Edge to edge

    Butt each panel against the last one. Never overlap them.

Step by step

Prepare, then lay out

Marking a true vertical line with a spirit level
Step 1

Prepare the wall

Your wall should be smooth, dry and clean. Remove any old wallpaper or flaking paint, fill and sand any holes, then wipe the surface down. Freshly painted walls need three to four weeks to cure first. Mark a true vertical line at your starting point with the spirit level.

Step 2

Lay out your panels

Unroll the panels on a clean floor, check they are all there and let them relax flat for a moment. Panel one goes on the left, against your vertical line.

Paste the wall · most durable

  1. 1Unroll and check your numbered panels are all present and undamaged.
  2. 2Apply paste evenly to the wall, covering the area for the first panel with no dry spots.
  3. 3Hang panel one against your vertical line, then add each panel edge to edge.
  4. 4Smooth from the centre outward to push out any air, and roll the seams.
  5. 5Wipe away any paste at once with a damp sponge, then trim the excess at the skirting and frames.

Just add water · refined texture

  1. 1Check your numbered panels, then lightly activate the back with water using a roller or sponge.
  2. 2Let it rest for the minute noted on the panel so the adhesive develops.
  3. 3Hang panel one to your vertical line, then butt each panel edge to edge.
  4. 4Smooth from the centre out, roll the seams, and sponge off any excess.
  5. 5Trim cleanly along the skirting and frames once positioned.
