Everything you need to know

The amount of pixels an image contains gives an idea of how sharp the image will be. An image with a high number of pixels will be sharper than one with fewer pixels. Therefore, to cover an entire wall, you will need a photo of a much higher quality and with many more pixels than you would need to cover a smaller surface.

A number of factors other than pixels will also determine whether the photo quality is good enough to create wallpaper.

• The light balance in the image also has an impact on the result. A dark image often needs to be of a higher resolution to work well.
• The focus of the image is also key. Images depicting motion often need to be of a higher resolution than still images taken using a tripod.

This guide gives a rough idea of the picture size needed for different wall sizes.

Before printing, we will check your image to ensure the quality of the wallpaper is good enough.

Original quality: $88 (inc GST)/m²
Our wallpapers are known as non-woven/easy-up wallpaper. This means that you apply the paste to the wall and then affix the wallpaper. This is the easiest way of wallpapering.

If your image is greater than 100 MB in size, it cannot be uploaded. However, we can accept images of a larger size via the Hightail file upload service. Click here to be redirected to Hightail to upload your photo.

How to upload your file via Hightail:

1. Enter your name and e-mail address in the relevant fields
2. Enter the dimensions of the wall you would like to wallpaper in the comments field
3. Select the file you would like to upload and click the “Send it” button
4. We will then contact you by e-mail with a link and information on what to do next in order to create your wallpaper.

Yes you can, at a cost of $22 each, including postage. The sample will help you to see if the wallpaper is what you are looking for. If you are unsure about the quality of your photo or how the colours will come out, we recommend ordering a sample. Samples are 45 cm x 45 cm, and can be ordered via our Customer Service.

The samples may vary slightly in colour from print to print.

It is not possible to change a photo’s original quality and resolution. However, an image can be processed to improve the effect it has – by making use of different filters, for example. Contact Customer Service if you would like any help with your photo, or if you have any questions about this.

Our Design Studio can help with most things! These include:

• Adjusting colours and adding colour to specific objects in an image
• Moving or removing objects in a photo
• Adding different filters to change the feel or improve the effect of an image
• Help you to create photo collages

These are only a few examples. Find out more about what our Design Studio can help you with. Once you have an idea of what you would like to do, you are welcome to contact Customer Service about this.

You can take confidence from the fact that we will review the quality of your photo before it is printed. We do this to ensure the quality and resolution of your image. We will contact you if we have any questions or suggestions for improvements.

If your file is smaller than 1000 x 1000 pixels, it cannot be uploaded. For an image to come across well on a large surface, it needs to be of a high resolution. 1000 x 1000 is considered a very low resolution, but it can work if you are planning to wallpaper a small area. Find out more.

Start by selecting a wallpaper from our range or by uploading your own image. Then specify the width and height of your feature wall and how you want to crop your image. You might want to reverse it, zoom in or out or change colours and replace words.

If you wish to order more wallpapers, repeat the procedure above. When you are satisfied with your order simply click on the Order button in the shopping list. Then fill in the requested details in the purchase flow, accept the Terms & conditions of purchase.

You will receive confirmation within 24 hours of placing your order. Then 2 to 4 weeks later, your wallpaper will be ready to be for collection at your nominated stockist.

As part of the order flow, you'll specify the wallpaper store from which you want to collect and pay for your rolls. It's the perfect opportunity to buy paste and anything else you need for the job. And don't forget to ask the staff for advice and any questions you may have.

When you place your order, you choose a store for collecting your wallpaper (you pay for the wallpaper at the store too).

Here are the addresses and contact details to all our stores

Your wallpapers are sent to production immediately after you place your order and receive confirmation from us (within one hour of ordering). Delivery takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on order volumes.

The smallest size you can order is 2 square metres (enough to cover a door or similar surface). So far we haven't had to set a maximum size limit. For instance, we've produced wallpapers for 18-metre-high walls!

Yes. If you look in the range on our website you'll find four icons to the left of the information box. Click on the third from the bottom to order a wallpaper sample.

However, if you wish to order samples of wallpapers that you create with your own motifs, we charge a fee of $22 for each sample. The sample you receive is to a scale of 1:1 and printed on an A4 (45 cm by 45 cm if it's your own design) sheet of the wallpaper material. This means that you’ll only see part of the pattern and not all of it.

Samples of the wallpapers in our collections will be sent to you free of charge. However, if you want samples of wallpapers that you create with your own designs, these cost $22 each.

You'll be sent a 45 cm x 45 cm sample if the wallpaper is your design and an A4 sample if it is from our collection. Both are to a scale of 1:1 and are, of course, printed on the same material that we print wallpaper on.

It costs $80/square metre +GST for the digital wallpaper to fit your dimensions – no matter what the size. If you have a custom design or a motif of your own, we charge an additional surcharge of $100 +GST. If you want us to create fully customized patterns for you, please contact us for a quote.

The price is per square metre based on the width and height you nominate. The wallpapers cost $80 per square metre +GST regardless of whether you order from our collections or make your own.

The lengths are 45cm wide.

Of course! We consider it as important that our digitally-printed wallpapers are of a superior quality as that the manufacturing process provide the highest quality possible and comply with all environmental and safety standards.

As part of our quality assurance process, our company is EU certified in conformance with the EN 15102:2007 document, a CE marking which means that our production processes comply with the European Union’s directive on emissions of formaldehyde, heavy metals and other hazardous substances.

All the wallpapers are made at our factory in Borås, Sweden. If you're passing this way please let us know, and if we've time we'll be delighted to show you round!

Our wallpapers are easy-up wallpapers, which means that we print them on a quality-assured non-woven material. You might have heard of paste-the-wall? That’s the same kind of wallpaper as EasyUp.

Non-woven? This is wallpaper made from wood pulp with added textile fibres to make the wallpaper strong, dimensionally stable and easy to hang (as the name EasyUp implies, this wallpaper is simple to hang – you paste the wall instead of the paper).

Fire safety Europe B-s1.d0, USA Class A, ASTM E84.

We have a wide assortment of wallpapers suitable for most applications, feature walls, ceiling and door decoration and so on.

The patterns and designs in our collections cover the full range, from photographs and illustrations to specially-designed wallpaper patterns.

You can find all our wallpapers here on our website and in our collection books at your nearest wallpaper store.

All of them. Well, almost all of them. We work with everyone from Hasselblad award winners to local amateur photographers.

The best designers are those with a story to tell. They can be oil painters, famous names and graphic designers such as Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood, Tricia Guild and Hanna Werning, as well as bus shelter graffiti artists or even you. There is a Picasso inside every one of us!

To achieve the best results, we recommend using a non-woven wallpaper paste that you apply on the walls – do not use combination adhesives.

You'll find more information about wallpapering in these hanging instructions our wallpaper instruction videos on YouTube and at your wallpaper store.

The easiest way to get good results is by giving your walls a prime coating in the pattern's most dominant colour.
