Measuring Tips



Before you order

Measure Once,
Hang with Confidence

Five things to know before you order — so your panels arrive ready to hang, in the right order, with color that matches from wall to wall.

1 2 3 4 5 19" 19" 19" 19" 19" FULL WIDTH OF WALL, WINDOW AND ALL TALLEST POINT OF CEILING

Five panels, 19" each — always installed left to right, in the order they're printed.

1

Every panel is 19" wide

Five panels cover 95" of wall. Six cover 114". Multiply your panel count by 19 to know your total coverage before you order.

2

Order the whole wall at once

Some of my patterns repeat beyond a single panel width, so each order is printed in sequence to line up correctly on your wall. Panels ordered separately later — even the same pattern, same colorway — are not guaranteed to match in color or print run.

3

Panel order matters. No exceptions.

Each panel is numbered for installation, left to right, in the sequence it was printed. Hung out of order, the pattern won't align at the seams — there's no piecing it back together.

4

Measure the whole wall — windows, doors, and all

Measure full width and full height, straight across, including over windows, doors, and trim. You'll trim around openings during install — but skip them in your measurement and you'll come up short on panels.

5

When in doubt, round up

Every panel is custom-printed to order, and slight color variation can happen between print runs. If you come up short and need to reorder, I can't guarantee an exact match. One extra panel is a lot less than a full re-do.

Vaulted or sloped ceiling? Read this twice.

Measure at the very tallest point of your ceiling. Every panel prints at that exact height, straight through — they can't be cut apart or swapped to fit shorter sections of the same wall. If your ceiling height changes anywhere in the room, the tallest point is your number for every panel.

Because every roll is custom-printed to your measurements, completed orders can't be returned or exchanged. I'd rather you feel completely sure before you buy — if anything here is unclear, send me a note and I'll walk through it with you.
