Simple guides, tips and tricks
A room takes shape one decision at a time. Here, we guide you through the entire process, from choosing a pattern and ordering samples to measuring, placing your order and hanging the wallpaper.
How do I choose the right wallpaper?
Choosing wallpaper is about more than finding a pattern you love. The room’s proportions, light, furnishings and permanent materials all shape how the wallpaper will feel once it is on the wall.
Our guide helps you consider scale, colour, contrast and visual texture, so you can choose a wallpaper that works beautifully in your own home.
How do I use my wallpaper sample?
A wallpaper sample reveals more than you might expect. Colour shifts with the light. Texture only becomes apparent at close range. The rhythm of a pattern reads differently on paper than it does on a screen.
This guide will help you give the sample a fair reading: how to place it against the wall, what to look for in daylight and lamplight, and why it is worth living with for a few days before making your decision.
How do I measure my wall?
Accurate measurements are the starting point for a wallpaper order prepared for your room. Measure the full width and greatest height of each wall, count the windows and doors, and receive an initial estimate of the wallpaper area and price.
The guide explains which measurements are needed, how sloping ceilings and other areas that will not be wallpapered are accounted for, and how to continue to the final configuration.
How do I order wallpaper from Linlava?
Order directly through our configurator, send us a measured sketch, or ask for personal help using photographs and measurements. Whichever route you choose, the result is the same: wallpaper made to fit your room.
The guide explains which option suits you, what information we need, and what happens from submitted measurements to printed, numbered drops.
How do I put up Linlava wallpaper?
A good result begins with a properly prepared wall and a first strip that is perfectly plumb. Linlava’s strips are numbered and supplied in hanging order.
This guide takes you through the entire process, from preparing and pasting the wall to working around corners and windows and hanging the final strip.
How do I take care of my wallpaper?
Wallpaper is made to live with the room, but it benefits from gentle care. This guide explains how to remove dust, deal with marks and protect the surface from moisture, sunlight and everyday wear.
It also covers minor repairs and why it is worth keeping any leftover wallpaper, so the wall can continue to age gracefully over time.
