Black and White Line Floral Wallpaper, 17.3 in x 9.8 ft Roll

What you get

One roll of white vinyl wallpaper printed with black line drawings, with a lightly embossed surface and a self-adhesive back under a peel-off liner. It measures 17.3 in x 9.8 ft (44 x 300 cm) and covers 14.2 sq ft (1.32 m²).

Black on white is one of the easiest prints to live with. It has the detail of a floral without the color, so it works with almost any furniture, from black iron and dark wood to pale oak and white trim.

Designs

• Bold peony: large open peonies and broad leaves, drawn with confident lines. The largest scale of the three, good on a long wall.
• Peony garden: smaller peonies packed closer together, which reads as a soft gray texture from across the room.
• Lily and dragonfly: tall lilies, grasses and small dragonflies, the lightest and airiest design.

How many rolls

One roll covers one strip on a wall up to about 9 ft tall. Divide the wall width in inches by 17.3 and round up, then add a roll for pattern matching. A wall 8 ft wide takes 6 rolls, with a 7th as a spare.

Hanging it

Start from a plumb line, not from a corner. Peel back a few inches of liner, set the strip at the ceiling with 2 in spare, and smooth it down from the center out while you pull the liner away. Line up the drawing on the next strip, butt the seam and trim top and bottom with a sharp knife against a straight edge. On a white ground, a clean seam matters, so press each one flat with a seam roller or a soft cloth. See our measure and make guide for the full method.

Where it works

Bedrooms, entryways, stair walls, laundry rooms and home offices are all good spots, as are smaller jobs like dresser drawers, the back of open shelving or a closet. The vinyl wipes clean with a damp cloth.

Use it on smooth, dry, painted walls. Skip showers, the wall behind a stove, textured plaster and paint that is less than two weeks old.
