Our wallpapers are sold untrimmed by the linear yard, in continuous bolts of up to 45 yards.

Untrimmed wallpaper allows installers to have more control when matching seams, allowing for more accuracy when navigating any variances on the surface the paper is being installed upon.

Each style of wallpaper has unique specifications, please refer to the individual product pages for more information. As our wallpaper features untrimmed edges, the trimmed width is the specific measurement for the printed portion of the wallpaper.

The ‘ground’ is the background of a wallpaper, what the inks of the printed pattern is applied to.

The repeat is the distance before a wallpaper’s design pattern repeats itself, measured along both the length and the width of a wallpaper’s ground.

The match is how a wallpaper’s design pattern repeats line up. With a straight match, the pattern is meant to match in a horizontal line across adjacent sheets when installed. With an offset match, also known as a drop match, adjacent sheets must alternatively be offset by the distance of its drop difference.

If you have the measurements of your walls, you can use our wallpaper calculator to come up with a rough initial estimate. However, we strongly recommend confirming final yardage with your professional wallpaper installer before ordering. Please note that depending on the scale of the wallpaper pattern, this may need to include up to 20-30% overage. As we cannot guarantee against dye-lot variation, please ensure you order enough to complete your project as colors may vary between batches.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer half-yards at this time. After confirming final yardage with your professional wallpaper installer, if necessary, we advise rounding up to the next whole yard to avoid the additional expense, lead time, and possible dye-lot variation of a reorder.

Our wallpaper requires using a professional for installation.

All walls must be smooth and clean, as well as free of mildew and stains. If necessary, apply a stain killing primer. Be sure any newly plastered walls have been washed with a zinc sulfate solution, and then sealed with a high-quality primer designed for use on unpainted drywall. Follow up with a high-quality wallcovering primer.

Our grasscloth (Margueritte and Laila) and paperweave-putty (Oak) wallpaper grounds are made from non-porous natural materials that can stain if they get wet, and as such, are not recommended for use in damp, high-traffic environments like bathrooms. Our non-woven fiber (Paisley) wallpaper ground, however, is inherently more porous, and so is acceptable for use in bathrooms, provided there is proper ventilation.

Our wallpapers are digitally printed with odorless water-based inks. Depending on the wallpaper’s ground, each style is either VOC-free, or meets AgBB criteria for low-VOC emissions. Please refer to individual product pages for more information.

Our wallpapers meet high standards of environmental responsibility, featuring both UL GREENGUARD GOLD certification for low chemical emissions and IL ECOLOGO certification for reduced environmental impact. Additionally, our non-woven fiber grounds are FSC Certified, for responsible use of forest resources as certified by a third party, while our grasscloth grounds are sustainably made from renewable materials that are completely biodegradable at the end of their life cycle.

Our wallpapers are Class A Fire-Rated, based on ASTM-E84 standard testing for smoke generation and flame spread.

Our wallpapers are made in the USA, by a small family-owned and operated printer in Connecticut.

All wallpapers orders are considered final sale, and cannot be returned, exchanged, or modified. No cancellations are permitted once the order is placed.

Swatches will be available to order in mid-February.
