WALLPAPER FAQ
What is Paste the Wall Wallpaper?
The Laura Ashley wallpaper collection is printed on a Non-Woven or, as is more commonly known ‘Paste the Wall’ substrate making the installation far quicker, easier and cleaner to hang than when using standard wallpaper.
The special base means that the paper will not shrink so there’s no need for soaking time, simply paste the wall, hang direct from the roll, smooth down then trim. This method can cut normal installation time by half. Refer to the reverse of the label for full hanging instructions.
The paste the wall base also means that the product is fully strippable, so, when it’s time for the wallpaper to be removed it strips off easily, no need for steaming and scraping.
Laura Ashley paints, wallpaper paste and paste kits are also available ensuring you have all the equipment you need for your decorating project.
What is a batch number?
Wallpaper is printed in batches; it is important that all your rolls are from the same batch to avoid any colour variations when your paper is hung. If you have rolls from mixed batches, this can result in small differences in pattern and colour which may be visible once the paper is hung.
The batch number is located on the roll label. Please note that we do not keep a record of which batch is sent for each individual order, so it is important that you make a note of the batch number and keep it safe.
Our warehouse will check that the batch numbers are the same prior to dispatch, however, please double check this before starting your project. If you have any questions, please get in touch with our customer service team who will be happy to help. Please click here for customer service.
What if I need another roll from a specific batch?
If you need another roll from a specific batch, you will need to contact us here, and we can check our stock for you. If we have the batch that you need our Customer Service team will advise on how to place your order. We cannot guarantee we will have extra stock of all batch numbers, so we encourage you to purchase enough rolls to complete your project. Any unopened rolls can be returned.
How many rolls will I need?
We recommend considering the pattern repeat and wastage when working out how many rolls are needed. Please refer to the chart below to help with calculating how many rolls are required. It’s always better to overestimate. Opened wallpaper cannot be returned.
What paste should I use?
For best results use Laura Ashley paste which is sold individually, or available as a pasting kit which includes a paste tray, roller, plumb line, paste and smoothing tool.
One bag of Laura Ashley paste provides enough paste to hang approximately 8 rolls of wallpaper.
How much of the wall should I paste?
Don’t paste the entire wall before starting to hang your wallpaper. Simply paste one section at a time and work around the room methodically.
Can I hang new wallpaper over existing wallpaper?
It is possible but we do not recommend. It can be done if you are hanging over a flat wallpaper, but it is not possible to hang over textured or vinyl products, as the new paper will not adhere. It is always better to strip off any existing paper and line the wall. This will almost always give a better finished result.
What types of paint should be used with paintable wallpaper?
We would recommend using the Laura Ashley matt emulsion. To choose your perfect colour we recommend ordering a tester pot to ensure you are happy with your choice. It’s a good idea to paint a piece of paper and hang on each wall in the room so you can see how the paint looks in different light.
How do I clean wallpaper?
Check the roll symbols for the washability of the product – most wallpapers can be cleaned using a damp, clean sponge, or cloth.

Because our fabrics are made from high quality yarns, many will exhibit characteristics such as crushing, piling and creasing. These do not affect the quality or performance of the fabrics but should be taken into consideration when making your selection. You should also consider the lighting in the room for which you are shopping and view the fabrics under both natural and artificial light as colour variations may occur.
Take a moment to review our useful fabric glossary below to remove any uncertainties when ordering.
Printed Fabric
Striking patterns in vivid colours, traditional or contemporary, plain or patterned you couldn’t dream of a more beautiful printed fabric collection. Some of these fabrics have a high linen content which may naturally pill and crease or have fine threads and slubs visible. These desirable, natural characteristics of linen do not affect its durability and are not a sign of premature wear.
100% Silk Fabric
Decadently luxurious, and created with an emphasis on colour and finish, our range of silk fabrics will breathe effortless elegance into your décor. Silk is a natural fabric with slubs that enhance its character. Because silk may naturally degrade when exposed to sunlight over a period of time, we recommend that all silk fabric used for draperies are either lined depending on the exposure to sunlight.

Tester Pot (100ml/3.4oz)
Sample pots are available in all Laura Ashley matte emulsion paint colours. When choosing a colour we recommend you purchase a tester pot and paint onto a 8.5”x11” piece of paper to use as swatch rather than directly onto the wall. This will enable you to move the swatch around the room to ensure you’re happy with the colour in different lights.
