Seams, corners, edges and joins, up close
A wallcovering is judged at the seam, in the corner and along the edge. These are our own photographs of those places, taken on finished and in-progress installations, each linked to the project it comes from.
Seams
Where one drop meets the next. On a tonal or plain ground there is no motif to hide a join, so each seam is butted and rolled until it disappears at normal viewing distance.

Internal corners
A corner is where a pattern most often breaks. The paper is carried into the corner and the design is kept continuous across it, so the eye reads one wall, not two.

Edges
External corners, arches and shadow gaps leave the cut edge on show. The line has to be straight, tight and even along its whole length; where a wall is not true, a bespoke trim makes the edge read as one line.

Joins
Where the wallcovering meets something else: a door frame, joinery, a skirting or a switch plate. The cut follows the fitting exactly, with no gap and no overlap.
