Two essential tips for successful installation of our natural wallcoverings like Grasscloths & Silks.

1. Set Expectations
It's important to let everyone know how the wallcovering will look - this includes the designer.
This can be as simple as showing installation images from our website. We offer extensive photo galleries of our PJ wallcovering in homes, contract and hospitality settings.

2. Engineer The Room
Natural wallcoverings are inherently beautiful and offer natural variations. There could be bowing and a natural bias which the installer can work with by adjusting the installation. Doing this will ensure that you use the best pieces on the broader part of the wall.  This is why it's important to engineer the room to make the wallcovering look its best. You will always want to start with the best pieces at eye level and work your way out. Click here to learn more about Engineering A Room.
