How much wallpaper is acceptable to take for a swatch/tester thing?

I would say at least three/four rolls. I mean you need to test the whole room right?!

About the size of 2 A4 sheets put together I'd say orrrrr *cough* the whole roll *cough cough*

haha totally agree!!

Tracie, you might not get the opportunity to put it up tho!!!! hahahahaha

lol i took quite a bit when doing my mums room.. if its a pattern i would take a bit from the start of it to the end of it if you get me? x

hahahan Tracie - too right!!!

I think you need at least enough to go from top to bottom

Haha, Thats exactly it Tracey, I don't want to pay for it if I don't likey

Nah, 2xA4 pieces isn't enough

Top to bottom? Like from the celling to the floor?

LOL @ Tracies suggestion, I might sound a bit dumb here but I don't know what a swatch/tester thing is??

Yeh

(I dont know if thats normal cos I dont paper stuff...but thats what Id want!)

Tracie you crack me up!

Id be a real pussy at things like that and ask the sales person to rip me off as much as they can. Im always scared of being shouted at. If I did it myself id prob end up with too little to get a good impression of room.

You know when you go to b&q and your picking a wallpaper, they usually have an open rool so you can rip a piece of to take home and test it with your colour scheme etc

Lisa - A length that big would be fab I live in an old terraced house with super high cellings

Ooooh I get it now, I'd probably nick off with the whole roll lol xx

If its a large repeating pattern type thing I usually take the length of the pattern + maybe 6 inch overlap? (if that makes sense )

If its just a basic pattern I would take maybe 2 foot?

i tend to take half - 3/4 the length of 1 strip

when i first moved iin and my walls were magnolia and i was not allowed to paint them i took 4 different samples of similar colours/design to wrap round canvases to give my room a bit of colour

ps; im not a thief ,,,, needed inspiration for what paper i was gonna go for

Lol, Thats what i'm planning on doing I've got a green feature wall and the rest of my room is accessorized with choc and green things (mmmm, mint choc chip..nom, nom!!!), so I wanted to do some canvas type wall hanging's for the green wall to tie in the chocolate
