1. Consult a Professional
Every home is different, so we always recommend speaking with a professional wallpaper installer before placing your order. They can help determine which paper type is best for your space, especially when it comes to humidity, durability, and wall texture. A professional can also measure your walls accurately, ensuring you order the correct quantity and avoid any installation surprises.
2. Order Swatches First
Lighting and surroundings can dramatically change how a color or pattern appears in your home. We always suggest ordering swatches before committing to a full roll. Place them on your wall and view them throughout the day to see how they look under different lighting conditions. This simple step helps you choose confidently and ensures the design feels just right in your space.
3. Double Check Your Measurements
Even with a professional’s help, it is always smart to double-check your measurements. Remember to account for pattern repeat and trimming around windows, doors, or corners. Ordering a little extra is always better than running short, especially for patterned designs where matching is required.
4. Choose the Right Material for the Room
Different wallpapers perform differently depending on where they are used. For high humidity spaces like bathrooms or kitchens, look for a wipeable or more durable finish. For bedrooms, dining rooms, or living spaces, a traditional paper or textured grasscloth can add warmth and depth. If you are unsure which material best suits your space, your installer can help you decide.
5. Order All Rolls at Once
While our wallpapers are made to look consistent, there can be subtle color variations between different production runs or “lots.” To ensure your wallpaper matches perfectly from panel to panel, we always recommend ordering all the rolls you will need at the same time. That way, everything comes from the same lot, and you will get a seamless, consistent look across your walls.
A Final Note
Wallpaper is an investment that instantly elevates your space. Taking the time to consult a professional, order swatches, double-check measurements, choose the right material, and order all your rolls together will help ensure the process is smooth from start to finish.
