Luxury Wallpaper & Wallcoverings: Frequently Asked Questions

​What styles of designer wallpaper are featured in your collection?

​Our curated wallcovering collection moves beyond simple paint, treating your walls as a dynamic canvas for high-end interior design. We feature the most sought-after aesthetics for modern British homes:

• ​Textured & Tactile Finishes: Premium grasscloths, linen-weaves, and subtly embossed metallic papers that bring immense warmth, depth, and a sense of quiet luxury to any room.
• ​Scenic Murals & Panoramas: Large-scale, immersive landscapes and classical garden vistas that act as bespoke works of art, completely transforming the scale and atmosphere of dining rooms or master suites.
• ​Bold Botanicals & Maximalism: Confident, oversized foliage and rich, jewel-toned prints designed to create dramatic, highly expressive focal points in lounges, snugs, and hallways.

​What is the difference between 'paste-the-wall' and traditional wallpaper?

​The vast majority of our luxury wallcoverings utilise premium 'paste-the-wall' (non-woven) technology, which has revolutionised high-end decorating:

• ​Traditional Paper: Requires you to apply paste directly to the back of the wallpaper and wait for it to soak and expand before hanging, which can be messy and delicate to handle.
• ​Paste-the-Wall: Features a technologically advanced backing that does not expand when wet. You simply roll the adhesive directly onto the wall and apply the dry wallpaper straight from the roll. It is significantly faster, exceptionally clean, and strips off the wall seamlessly when you eventually decide to redecorate.

​Can luxury wallpaper be used in bathrooms and kitchens?

​Absolutely. While delicate natural fibres like authentic grasscloth should be reserved for dry living spaces, many of our contemporary wallpapers are engineered with heavy-duty vinyl coatings or washable finishes. These highly durable, splash-proof designs are perfect for adding striking patterns to downstairs cloakrooms, luxury en-suites, and kitchen dining areas. We always recommend ensuring excellent room ventilation and keeping wallpaper out of direct, heavy-splash zones like the immediate interior of a shower.

​How do I calculate how many rolls of wallpaper I need?

​To ensure you have enough paper from the exact same printing batch (to guarantee a flawless colour match), you must factor in the "pattern repeat."

1. ​Measure the total width and height of the walls you wish to cover in metres.
2. ​Check the specific "pattern match" and "repeat distance" listed on your chosen wallpaper's product page.
3. ​Because large, dramatic patterns require more trimming to align the design perfectly from strip to strip, we always advise adding 10% to 15% extra to your final calculation to account for wastage. If you are unsure, your professional decorator can provide precise measurements.

​Do I need a professional decorator to install your designer wallpaper?

​While our paste-the-wall collections make installation highly straightforward for experienced DIY enthusiasts, we strongly recommend hiring a specialist professional decorator for our ultra-premium ranges. Complex, large-scale murals, intricate geometric pattern matches, and delicate natural grasscloths require precision alignment, expert wall preparation, and specific adhesives to ensure a flawless, gallery-quality finish.
