Do you need recipe for transforming the interiors?
The exclusive Alchemy wallpaper will help turn any space into an intriguing place. It fits interiors of different sizes, both large and small.

The intriguing wallpaper pattern in mysterious symbols, mythical animals and plants will give the interior a special and unique character. The Alchemy motif definitely stands out from other wallpapers.
You will find some useful information below.
What to combine Alchemy wallpaper with?
Botanical wallpaper combines best with natural materials such as wood, stone, clay plaster or ceramic. Therefore, if you are wallpapering a small, cramped interior you might consider using wooden panelling or ceramic tiles. Alchemy wallpaper is bright and quite light in appearance, so it can work just as well on its own. Here a lot depends on the effect you want to achieve.
Light wallpapers and dark accessories create the atmosphere.
A colourful pattern is good to tone down with a solid neutral colour. This can range from a dark green that harmonises with the shade of the plants on the wallpaper to classic black. Natural woods, from light to darkest, will also be a perfect match. Also recommended are, for example, honey, orange, red or brown furniture upholstery and black metallic elements e.g. lamps, bookshelves, ornaments. The magical wallpaper pattern will look interesting surrounded by old furniture and vintage accessories.
What interior style is Alchemy wallpaper suitable for?
BY FOXES wallpapers are universal, so they will fit most interiors. However, lovers of retro, vintage, rustic or... British interiors should pay attention to them first. Do you like gothic or witchcore aesthetics? Alchemy wallpaper will probably appeal to you. On the other hand, you can safely use it in modern interiors.
How much wallpaper I need? How to measure a wall?
Draw the wall on a piece of paper. Start by measuring the height - measuring from floor to ceiling in several places, especially if you are dealing with unevenness. Each time, plot the measurements on the drawing. Then take the largest value and add a 5 - 10cm allowance to it.
Next, measure the width of the wall, i.e. from one corner to the other. As with the height, measure it in several places - such as around the ceiling, middle, and floor, plot the dimensions on the drawing and take the largest value. BY FOXES wallpaper is automatically increased by about 5cm in width, but if you have curved walls, you can add a further 5 - 10cm allowance just to be safe. It's always a good idea to have a little more wallpaper rather than less.
Order your wallpaper by entering the largest values plus stock in the appropriate fields when ordering. After placing your order, you will receive a simple visualisation of the wallpaper layout on your wall for your approval. If you have a particular wish to highlight an element of the wallpaper - e.g. you want a lion just above your bed, please indicate this in the comments to your order (this is included in the basic price of the wallpaper). If you wish, you can also order the wallpaper in a personalised colour or slightly change the size of the elements (for an additional charge agreed individually).
If you need to wallpaper a wall with window, door or other openings; a wall with bevels, recesses, etc. or adjoining walls, contact BY FOXES → to arrange the combining of patterns on individual walls.
You can also order wallpaper in a roll and adjust the pattern yourself. Calculate the number of rolls you need by dividing the wall area by the roll area.

Can I put up wallpaper without a professional? Can I do it myself?
Of course! FOXWALL non woven wallpapers and FOXWALL PeeL&Stick self-adhesive wallpapers can easily be laid by yourself, even without experience. They are some of the easiest types of wallpaper to install.
With non woven wallpaper, the adhesive is applied directly to the wall and not to the wallpaper, which makes the job considerably easier. This wallpaper is rigid, does not stretch or wrinkle, and is easy to fit and cut. All you need to do is prepare a smooth, primed wall, stock up on basic tools (level, knife, roller, squeegee) and follow the instructions step by step.
Peel&Stick wallpapers, on the other hand, simply act like thick stickers - easy to apply and peel off if necessary. All you need to do is make sure they are applied evenly. Take a look at the instructions to find out more.
FOXWALL wallpaper installation instructions
Non-woven and Peel&Stick wallpapers from the FOXWALL series are very easy to install. In short, it looks like this:
Prepare tools
A level, pencil, segmented knife, ruler, squeegee and optional ladder, and in the case of wallpaper on non woven backing in addition: glue, paint roller, brush, sponge and clean water.
Prepare wall
Remove old coatings, patch cavities, sand, dust off. The wall must be primed, smooth, clean and dry.
Prepare wallpaper
In the case of an individual order, the wallpaper will come already cut (britches) and ready for installation. Just make sure that everything fits together before you put it on the wall. In the case of wallpaper from a roll, match the pattern and cut the wallpaper to britches with a sharp knife.
IMPORTANT! Before you start cutting or gluing anything, check the entire wallpaper to see if it conforms to the order and has no manufacturing defects (e.g., if the patterns on the individual bricks seamlessly blend together, if all the bricks are in the same color scheme, if there is no discoloration or deformation or dimensional differences greater than 1%). If something does not match, advertise the wallpaper before installation. Remember that once the wallpaper has been modified (cutting, installation, etc.), it is not possible to claim manufacturing defects.
Bonding
Wyznacz szerokość pierwszego brytu za pomocą pionu. W przypadku tapet na podkładzie flizelinowym nałóż odpowiedni klej wyłącznie na ścianę (nie używaj kleju do tapet papierowych) – ok. 2-4 cm więcej niż szerokość pierwszego brytu, ale nie smaruj od razu całej ściany. W przypadku tapet samoprzylepnych odklej tylną warstwę zabezpieczającą (jak naklejkę). Przyklejaj tapetę pasami krawędź do krawędzi, uprzednio dopasowując wzór. Dociśnij, usuń ewentualny klej (jeśli się pojawi na łączeniach) oraz pęcherze powietrza spod tapety. Odetnij nadmiar przy podłodze i suficie.
Let the wallpaper dry
For approx. 24-48 h. No draughts or heating, preferably at 18-22°C.
Simple, isn't it?
