Not all wallpapers come as traditional goods with a repeating pattern in a straight or drop match. Companies like House of Hackney (here) or Milton & King (search to find my previous posts), often package their patterns as 4-panel sets, or A & B rolls. These take a little more thought and engineering than just pulling strips off a bolt and slapping them on the wall. You’ve got to keep the 1-2-3-4’s in order, and parlay that into whether you’re moving to the right or the left. In this scenario, I started in the corner, so was moving in both directions. 1, 2, 3, 4. Then 4, 3, 2, 1. In the photo, I’ve measured, cut, and laid out my strips in the order in which they’ll be applied to the two walls. Believe me – I checked everything twice – no, thrice! – before pasting and hanging. Another thing about murals and 4-panel sets,,, you only get one chance to get it right. There are no additional strips sitting around to be called in in case of a goof. Here is the manufacturer’s instruction sheet.
