Design Match
A free match design is the easiest to hang, requiring no alignment. The pattern always lines up, reducing paper waste compared to other matching methods.
A straight match design requires the pattern to align at the same height on each wallpaper strip, creating a continuous, uniform pattern across the wall.
An offset match design requires aligning the pattern in a staggered way, with each strip matching at a specific point, usually halfway down, creating a dynamic look.
Reverse alternative match involves hanging every other wallpaper strip upside down to ensure the pattern matches correctly and minimizes waste.
