Styling tips
- Mix scales: a large check on the walls with a small gingham on a cushion feels relaxed, not fussy.
- Pick a design with a sophisticated palette that can grow with your child.
- Kitchens, boot rooms and children's rooms all suit checks.
How much will I need?
A typical nursery & kids wall of about 3.2 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 7 drops. With a 26.5 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 3 rolls – from £132.60 on Standard paper to £217.62 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.
