Measure, Then Order

You’ve just found the right wallcovering and you’re ready to decorate. Just follow these easy steps:

• Measure the area to be covered accurately
• Figure measurements of openings such as doors, windows or alcoves. Deduct a single roll for each door opening or for two average-size windows.
• Consult chart in wallcovering book to determine number of rolls you need.
• Ask your local dealer for assistance.
• Purchase a full double roll if measurement is between one and two rolls. It is always better to order more than not enough.

When you pick up your order from your local dealer make sure that all rolls are from the same run or dye lot. (Your local dealer has probably already done this)
