Styling tips

  • Mix scales: a large check on the walls with a small gingham on a cushion feels relaxed, not fussy.
  • Pale blues open up north-facing rooms when paired with warm whites; deep blues cocoon.
  • Kitchens, boot rooms and children's rooms all suit checks.

How much will I need?

A typical kitchen wall of about 3.0 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 6 drops. With a 26.5 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 2 rolls – from £88.40 on Standard paper to £145.08 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.

Make it your own

Every design in this edit can be recoloured, rescaled and previewed on a photo of your own wall in Design Your Own, then printed made-to-measure.
