How much will I need?
A typical living room wall of about 4.2 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 9 drops. With a 53 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.

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.
Frequently asked questions
Is japanese-inspired wallpaper a good choice for a living room?
Bedrooms and home offices benefit most from this restful style. Measure each wall separately and include alcoves; our calculator adds the pattern repeat for you. We currently have 41 japanese-inspired designs suited to living rooms.
Are your designs original?
