The field guides
- Guide 01
How many wallpaper rolls does one feature wall need?
Count full-height strips, round a straight repeat, and check where a change in wall height costs an extra roll.
- Guide 02
How do you cut straight-match and half-drop wallpaper?
Read the match symbol, mark repeating motifs and compare neighboring strips before committing a whole roll.
- Guide 03
Should you subtract a window when buying wallpaper?
Map the seam positions through a window and identify which pieces can actually come from an offcut.
