Which way should I hang the wallpaper?

Understand the correct direction for installing wallpaper and how to align your panels for the best result.

Updated over 11 months ago

Wallpaper panels are meant to be installed vertically, from top to bottom.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Always start from the top of the wall and work your way down

  • Patterns have a direction — make sure your panel is right-side up before installing

  • Use a laser or level to line up your first panel perfectly straight — it sets the tone for the entire wall

  • Install one panel at a time, matching the pattern with the next as you go

  • Our panels are designed with a 0.5 inch overlap, so line them up accordingly

For ceilings, the rule is a little different — we recommend starting near the main light source or window and working away from it.
