Questions & answers
How do I create a maximalist living room?
More is more: bold colour, big repeats and confident pattern on every surface. Try papering the ceiling as well as the walls in a small room. Gallery walls work over large-scale pattern if frames are bold.
How many rolls do I need?
A typical 4.2 × 2.4 m wall needs 3 rolls at a 64 cm repeat.
