Nilaya W046D28LS75 Sabyasachi Wallpaper - Gulbadan

The Sabysachi for Nilaya creations are as rich and layered as the muse that inspires them – the vast and varied theatre that is India. Add to that a sublime eclecticism, an original eye and a design instinct that is in a class by itself the Sabyasachi for Nilaya Wallpaper Collection is one of its kind.

Pre-independent India, of decadent Maharajas and their wilful fancies. Hedonism expressed through Lalique glasses, Cartier jewellery, Bentleys, and magnificent palaces. Less was never more and more was never enough. India showed the world how to romance luxury and own it. These were men and women who really played the field. Art, culture and excellence thrived as a way of life. Exhibitionism was the order of the day and “Minimalism” the trend. Nilaya presents India Baroque, fine wallpapers for the connoisseur of extreme luxury. Flamboyant, extravagant and unapologetically opulent. An ode to the Maharaja’s of yore.

Lyrical floral prints, Kalamkari, Mughal gardens and chintz inspire Gulbadan. Painstakingly hand rendered and printed this wallpaper is truly a masterpiece. Bring home some subversive romance.

Dimensions of 1Roll of wallpaper - 21.2 inches x 30 feet.

Hanging Instructions

Surface Preparation :
Any old wallpaper should be removed. Walls should be clean, dry and smooth. Prepare surface with a premixed, universal wallcovering primer.

1. Measuring from a corner of your starting wall, mark a vertical plumb line at a distance of 1" less than the paper width.
2. Cut your first strip of wallpaper 4" longer than the wall height you intend to cover.
3. For Prepasted Paper - Roll the cut strip loosely with pattern side in, paste side out. Submerge rolled strip in warm water for 30 seconds to activate paste.
For Unpasted Paper : Using a clear, light-medium weight, pre-mixed adhesive, apply an even film of paste to the back of the paper, moving the paste brush or applicator from the center to the edge.
4. Fold moistened strip paste-to-paste, and allow to set for 3 minutes.
5. Carry the wallcovering to the wall. Place one edge of your strip along the vertical plumb line and allow the remainder of the strip to go into and around the corner.
6. Smooth out bubbles using a smoothing brush. Trim top and bottom with a straigth edge and a razor knife. Wipe each strip clean with water and sponge.
7. Using pattern match at baseboard or bottom of the strip and ceiling as reference, determine the length of your next strip, allowing extra for trimming. Then follow step #3 as above.
8. Slide the next strip into position with its edge butted against the edge of the preceding strip. Do not overlap seams. Gently roll butted seams with a seam roller. Be sure to match design of the adjescent strip at eye level.

Repeat steps #6, #7 and #8.
