A private home in Little Venice, designed by [Jaillon Studio](https://www.jaillonstudio.com/), the Paris-London studio of Catherine Jaillon. In July 2019 we hung a vibrant House of Hackney floral wallpaper through the living room, around full-height bookcases. The home is not named.

## Around the bookcases

A large floral is set out from the centre of the main wall, so the pattern sits balanced in the room, and cut in tight around the bookcases, shelves and frames so the paper looks as though it was always there.

We have worked with Jaillon Studio again since, on the [tea house in West London](https://www.mrwallcover.com/projects/tea-house-jaillon-studio/).

How the commission ran

## The same standards, on every commission.

Whether the client is a hotel group, a designer or a household, the job runs the same way. These are the parts a photograph never shows.

01

### Survey and scope, room by room

We measure the wall that will actually be hung, allow for the repeat and the wastage, and write a scope of works room by room before anyone orders paper.

02

### Preparation decides the finish

Walls are filled, made good and primed until they are true. If a wall is not ready for the material specified, we say so before the last drop is ordered.

03

### Protection and containment

Floors, furniture and finished joinery are protected as part of the hang. Work is contained and the place is left tidy each evening. In a home we are visitors; in a hotel we work around the house.

04

### Batch and shade control

Deliveries are checked against the measure, and batches and shading are managed so that a corridor of rooms reads as one surface.

05

### Set out from the room's focal points

Pattern is set out from chimneypieces, doorcases and bed walls, so the design meets the cornice and the joinery with composure.

06

### One team, then the return visit

The people who start are the people who finish. Four to six weeks after completion we come back to look at every seam and edge, and the workmanship is guaranteed for twelve months.
