Styling tips
- Mix scales: a large check on the walls with a small gingham on a cushion feels relaxed, not fussy.
- A breakfast nook or dining end of the kitchen is the ideal spot.
- 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.

Kitchens, boot rooms and children's rooms all suit checks. A breakfast nook or dining end of the kitchen is the ideal spot. We currently have 41 check & plaid designs suited to kitchens.
How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?
Measure the width of each wall and the height from skirting to ceiling. Our rolls are 52 cm wide and 10 m long. Use the roll calculator on every product page – it accounts for the pattern repeat and recommends one spare roll.

Choose Premium (scrubbable) or Luxe and make sure the room is well ventilated. Avoid areas of direct water contact such as inside showers.
