Our Wallpaper Guide

We always recommend ordering a sample before selecting your wallpaper. It's the best way to experience the colours, texture and scale of the design in your space before making your final choice.

Our samples are A4 (29.7 x 21cm) and are perfect for viewing the colours, details and finish of the wallpaper.

Please keep in mind that colours can vary between screens and devices, so viewing a physical sample is always recommended. Samples are pre-cut and provide a guide to colour, scale and finish, so may not feature every element of the full design.

Designer Boys wallpaper is made to order, and minor colour and finish variations may occur between material batches and separate print runs. Colour can also present differently across substrates due to variations in texture, composition and finish, meaning the same design may not appear identical when printed on different materials. We strongly recommend ordering a sample in your chosen substrate prior to placing your order to provide the most accurate guide to colour and finish.

Where possible, we recommend ordering all wallpaper required for the same wall or project together to ensure it is produced within the same print run. Reprints and continuation orders can be produced when the original order details are referenced, and we will endeavour to match previous production as closely as possible; however, an exact match between separate print runs, material batches or substrates cannot be guaranteed.

For any questions or tailored assistance prior to placing your order, our dedicated Customer Care team would be delighted to assist.

Straight Match and Offset Match designs can repeat continuously both horizontally and vertically, making them suitable for walls of virtually any size. Mural Repeat designs can also continue horizontally across wider walls; however, they have a set maximum height and are available in our standard 2.4m and 2.7m wall heights.

To ensure you order the correct amount of wallpaper for your walls, please complete the following steps:

1. Measure your wall height from floor to ceiling at multiple points of the wall. Make note of the tallest measurement to ensure the wallpaper will cover the entire wall. This will be your wall height. Additional allowance for trimming will 
   automatically be added to the calculation, so you don't have to worry about it! This will be your wall height.
2. Measure your wall width from one end to the other. This will be your wall width.
3. Repeat this process 2–3 times to ensure you are confident with your wall measurements.
4. Input your measurements into our wallpaper calculator located on the page of your chosen design and place your order.

Paste-the-Wall is the term used to describe an installation method where wallpaper adhesive is applied directly to the prepared wall rather than to the wallpaper itself. Each panel is then positioned onto the pasted wall for a simple and efficient installation. This method applies to our Non-Woven and Natural Grass Weave substrates.

Paste-the-Paper is the term used to describe an installation method where wallpaper adhesive is applied directly to the back of the wallpaper, rather than to the wall. The adhesive is left to soak into the wallpaper for the required time before each panel is positioned onto the prepared wall. This method applies to our Commercial Vinyl substrate.
