Caution: Self-adhesive wallpaper and wall decals pose a choking hazard and are not intended as toys. Full adult supervision is essential, and these items should be kept out of reach of children. It is strongly recommended to refrain from installing self-adhesive wallpaper above a crib or any bed intended for infants or children.
Primer Guide — What to Buy by Country
A purpose-built self-adhesive prep coat creates the barrier between your painted wall and the wallcovering that ensures a secure, lasting bond. Standard paint primer is not suitable.
Apply 3 coats (satin or semi gloss finish — not low sheen). Allow 24 hours cure before installing. Always test with a sample first.
Your walls must have been painted at least 30 days ago. Fresh paint continues to off-gas and will prevent adhesion — do not install on walls painted less than 30 days prior.
