Murals on raked or sloping ceilings
We love murals, we love wallpaper. Sometimes for certain projects one is better than the other. For example if you have a window in the middle of your wall and the mural you like has all the artwork in the centre - then you are probably better off with wallpaper....
Calculating Wallpaper
Calculating Wallpaper is often not easy. We do it on a day to day basis and can sometimes be 'out' (usually too much wallpaper than too little). This is because some hangers hang in a different way to what we would. So our first piece of advice is to double...
Why do murals not come with samples?
The digital era makes it an exciting time to be alive for a wallpaper store. We can print nearly anything. Of course there are always limitations depending on the wall size or the format style of graphics. We always take a close look when custom printing to see what will...
Printing Maps
We print a lot of maps. Its a complicated business (that we love) and not always straight forward. Some common questions are "Can I have a world map at 200 high x 200 wide". The answer is no. Not really in the traditional sense. World maps as we know them...
Wallpaper with a Dado - Saving you money
Sometimes you just have to get creative. It can often be due to budget, or maybe the ceiling is just too high. Sometimes its because a wallpaper has gone out of production and there just isn't enough. Or maybe the shape just doesn't suit (especially in the case of world...
Custom Printing Murals and Wallpaper
Custom printing. Where to start? Here at The Inside we love creating totally unique pieces for our customers. But - you have to be brave. Custom printing isn't like buying 'off the rack'. It doesn't come with glossy photos or perfectly styled room shots like normal wallpaper does. You won't...
Samples - The Good and the Bad
We know people want samples. We understand that it also leads to trust building. You buy a sample for a few dollars, it turns up and then you trust that company to provide the actual fabric or wallpaper. We have recently only reintroduced sampling after two years of practically no samples...
World Map Murals Wallpaper
We do a lot of world maps - some we borrow, some we make, some we change. We can almost do a map for every circumstance. BUT there is one important ingredient and that is the 'rectangle'. For a world map to look how we traditionally expect a world map...
Offset Match - Calculating Wallpaper
There are so many different ways to calculate how much wallpaper you need - and what makes it trickier is everyone hangs slightly differently. Some wallpaper hangers can actually you save you product by using every second roll (more about that later) so it is worth getting your installer to...
1 roll of wallpaper?
When we clear wallpaper out - its usually because they are discontinued or we can't get them anymore (sometimes the licence changes and we are no longer able to sell it). We often get people emailing us - asking what they can do with just 1 x roll of wallpaper. ...
Florence Broadhurst lives here
Florence Broadhurst said it best herself in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald in 1966: “You can state your character by your choice of wallpaper,” Florence said. That's why we are thrilled to be New Zealand's home of Florence Broadhurst wallpapers and fabrics. Or as we like to say #FloBro...
How to talk about wallpaper with your husband
The Inside's owners Rebekah and Adam have a laugh about the beautiful Brooklyn Tin Tiles wallpaper in their bedroom
Christmas Decorations
People quite often ask me what to do with their spare wallpaper. My first thought is 'you have spare wallpaper? My second thought is 'you must be better at wallpapering than me!'. But of course I import and sell wallpaper so am naturally supposed to be good at hanging it.........
Kids Bedrooms - On a Budget
I quite often get asked ‘how do I decorate my child’s bedroom on a budget?’ If you're like me and doing it the hard way (had the child first, bought the house second, renovated last) then you now know why people usually do it the other way around. There is...
Wallpaper Decoupage - On the table
Recently a customer asked me if I sold wallpaper by the metre. How ridiculous I retorted (I really need to think before I speak). Does nobody appreciate how much it costs to import designer wallpapers? The customs fees? duty charges? International freight? I was on a tirade, until I stopped...
