Questions about
Wallpaper.

Planning answers for your wallpaper project.

01Is wall area enough to estimate rolls?

Not always. Roll width, usable length, wall height and pattern repeat can change the quantity. Use the supplier’s roll estimator.

02What is a pattern repeat?

It is the distance before a printed motif repeats. Matching it between strips can use more material.

03Can I paper every wall surface?

Check the wallpaper and adhesive instructions for the intended surface and room conditions before choosing them.

04Should I order samples before rolls?

A sample helps you judge color, texture and pattern in the actual room. Check it in different light before confirming your order.

05What should I check about wallpaper batches?

Ask the supplier about matching batch or dye-lot information when ordering multiple rolls, and keep the labels with your project notes.
