Rasch wallpaper 1554163 | A graphite grey shade with a pronounced fabric texture

Before starting work and hanging the wallpaper, please pay attention to the following aspects: check the article number, the batch number, and the pattern repeat symbols. Please keep the control slip and wallpaper samples.

Carefully prepare the surface

Surface preparation – the surface must be dry, sound, capable of absorbing moisture evenly, clean, neutral, and smooth. Old wallpaper and water-soluble coatings must be removed. Cracks and holes should be filled with a spackling compound if necessary, while highly absorbent surfaces must be pre-primed with wallpaper paste (sizing). Old, unstable surfaces that cannot bear a load must be primed with a specially designed wallpaper primer.

Attention! Non-woven wallpaper must be hung on a uniformly colored surface. For this reason, we recommend applying a pigmented base coat under the wallpaper.

The adhesive must be applied directly to the wall.

We recommend using a high-quality, reliable brand of adhesive specifically designed for non-woven wallpaper, and following the preparation instructions provided. Thoroughly mix the non-woven wallpaper adhesive according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Using a roller, apply the adhesive to the wall over the width of the wallpaper roll.

 Hanging the wallpaper.

Hanging non-woven wallpaper always begins "from the light," which means that wallpapering the walls should start near a window. Ensure that the first strip of wallpaper is applied in a perfectly vertical line and properly aligned vertically, so that subsequent strips can be hung straight.

After the wall is coated with adhesive, the non-woven wallpaper is applied directly to the wall and smoothed out with a roller; moreover, this type of wallpaper requires no soaking time. Using a soft wallpapering brush, a cloth, or a microporous rubber roller, press the strip firmly against the wall and smooth it out to prevent the formation of air bubbles.

Trimming the excess and finishing up...

Trim the overhanging edges of the wallpaper at the top and bottom. Hang the subsequent strips of wallpaper perfectly edge-to-edge (butt joint). A conical seam roller can be used at the joints. Please note that strong heat and drafts must be avoided during application and drying. The optimal working temperature ranges from 18 °C to 25 °C.

Additional tips

Another advantage of decorating walls with non-woven wallpaper is that, if applied properly, it can be easily and completely removed dry from the wall during your next renovation.

A distinctive feature of this wallpaper is its rich, dark graphite or charcoal grey tone, complemented by a deep and distinctly textured surface reminiscent of a heavy, dense fabric.

In interior design and psychology, this combination of a bold, dark shade and rich texture is used to create a distinctive and reassuring environment.

The psychological aspect and its impact on a space:

• The ‘cocoon’ effect and a sense of security: Unlike light colours, which make a space appear larger, dark and saturated tones visually bring the walls closer together. Subconsciously, this creates the so-called ‘cocoon’ or sanctuary effect. Such an environment provides a sense of security, intimacy and seclusion, helping you to effectively disconnect from the hustle and bustle and stress of the outside world.

• Elegance and concentration: Dark grey is an exceptionally refined and stable shade. It absorbs excess light and visual noise, thereby promoting deep concentration and inner peace. At the same time, it serves as the perfect, dramatic backdrop against which works of art, designer furniture or warm metallic (brass, gold) accents stand out particularly vividly.

• The softening role of texture: The coarse fabric texture, clearly visible in the macro image, is crucial to ensure that the dark wall does not appear flat or gloomy. The relief refracts the light, creating a subtle play of shadows that lends the wall a tactile warmth, visual depth and a sense of ‘liveliness’, making the overall look cosy rather than oppressive.

Expert recommendations for room selection: Thanks to this design’s ability to absorb light and create an intimate atmosphere, this wallpaper is best suited for:

• Bedrooms and relaxation areas: particularly as an accent wall behind the headboard, creating an environment that is as calming as possible and conducive to sleep.

• Home cinemas or libraries: where it is necessary to minimise light reflection and create a focused, cosily dimmed space.

• For spacious and well-lit living areas: to give the room character and structure, whilst balancing the abundance of natural light.
