Graham & Brown’s roll, pattern and paste
Opened from here, the wallpaper calculator is already on Graham & Brown’s 52 cm by 10 m roll, with Meadow, which repeats every 53 cm on a straight match, and the brand’s Premium Wallpaper Adhesive. Swap in the design you’re actually buying: its repeat and match type are under product details.
The brand sorts papers into three matches: free, with no visible join; straight, where the motif continues across at the same height; and offset, where it continues a stated distance down the next length. Most of its bigger prints are offset. Esther drops 39 cm of a 78 cm repeat, Glasshouse 50 cm of a metre. Choose Offset and put in both numbers.
What the table shows
Three Graham & Brown designs in one bedroom, 4 m by 3.5 m, ceilings at 2.4 m. Meadow and Esther come to 10 rolls, as each roll gives three lengths. Glasshouse needs just 8, metre-long repeat and all: with its 50 cm drop a 2.5 m cut ends exactly where the next length starts, so a roll gives four. No percentage allowance would show that, which is why the tool counts strips rather than square metres. Buy from a single batch and keep a label handy in case you need to reorder.
