The Pattern Repeat Effect
A pattern repeat is how frequently a shape or image appears in a strip of wallpaper. To create a seamless effect each strip of wallpaper needs to be lined up with the pattern repeat of the previous strip. The bigger the repeat the more waste and the need for more wallpaper. The smaller the repeat the less waste and the less wallpaper you need. So a pattern repeat of 18” means that you will see the image every 18” in a strip of wallpaper. A Random Match means there is no pattern repeat which means there will be very little waste and is easier to hang than wallpaper with a repeat.

You always want to order a little too much than not enough. The last thing you want is to run out of wallpaper and have to reorder since it is difficult at times to get the same run and dye lot numbers. To keep things simple and to ensure you have enough paper do not make any deductions for windows, doors, cabinets, etc Relax and let Lillian take care of everything. Its not nearly as expensive as you might think).
Do You Have Problem Walls? Wall Liner is the Solution!
Wall Liner works like magic for problem walls! It is recommended for lining over plaster, cement block, paneling, and cracked walls. It provides a smooth base that you can then wallpaper over. It is much easier and less costly then to try and repair damaged walls.
