Morris & Co. Iris & Rose Wallpaper

A half-drop match means the pattern repeat is staggered across the width of the wallpaper. When hanging, every second strip must be dropped by half the length of the pattern repeat to align the design correctly, which requires careful planning during installation.

This is a paper-based, spongeable wallpaper, meaning it can handle light cleaning with a damp sponge. However, it is not moisture-resistant, so it is best suited for dry areas like living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways rather than high-humidity spaces like bathrooms.

Paste-the-wall is a more efficient method where you apply the adhesive directly to the wall rather than the back of the paper. This eliminates the need for a pasting table and allows you to hang the paper dry, which is generally cleaner and faster than traditional soaking methods.

Each roll covers approximately 56.375 square feet. To calculate your needs, measure the total width and height of your walls, calculate the total square footage, and add 10-15% extra to account for the half-drop pattern repeat and trimming waste.

While the paste-the-wall application is user-friendly, the intricate half-drop match requires precision to ensure the pattern aligns seamlessly. If you are not experienced with pattern matching, professional installation is recommended to achieve the best result.
