Description:  A lovely striped background with beribboned bouquets. One of the prettiest papers you will find. Soft mint green tonal stripes give this classic design a fresh look. This handprinted paper has a hand painted look that is just exquisite. You can dress up a roomful of this paper to the utmost formality or keep it as casual as shabby chic or country depending on what you mix with it. This paper is the perfect inspiration or starting piece to create the room of your dreams! Imagine it with white draperies trimmed in eyelet with a band of blue ribbon woven through it. Use a wide blue ribbon as tiebacks and tuck in a small bouquet to echo the one in the paper. Choose one color from the paper for your main fabric and another for your accent. Look for window treatments and upholstery or bedding fabrics in those tones with textures and sheens. Plus at least one or two prints and/or patterns that bring in some of the other colors as well. Vary the scale of each fabric's design. Add some fringe and other trims as appropriate, and before you know it, you've put together a designer room based on this gorgeous wallpaper. (Don't forget to add a color or a faux paint or smaller patterned wallpaper treatment to your ceiling.)

HOW MUCH WALLPAPER DO I NEED?
Although it varies by number of doors and windows and pattern match, it takes, on AVERAGE, 10 rolls to paper the walls in an 8 x 10 room with 8 ft. high ceilings. The same room with 10 ft. high ceilings would need 12 rolls. To paper the walls of an average 10 x 14 room with 8 ft. ceilings you will need, in general, a minimum of 14 rolls. If you have 10 ft. ceilings and a 16 x 20 room, you will likely need a minimum of 26 rolls. You should use an on-line wallpaper calculator to determine your exact needs. There are several available, including one at https://diy.easy2.com/. I always like to add a roll or two so I have extra just in case I cut a piece incorrectly or for things like lining drawers or shelves, or even papering a closet to match the room.
