Order

How many wallpaper rolls do I need for my room?

Please use our wallpaper calculator to work out how many rolls you need.

Can I get the NCS code for the wallpapers?

All colours for our wallpapers are mixed by hand in our factory. It is a solid craft, and therefore there are no specific colour codes available. Our tip is to bring a piece of wallpaper to a paint shop, where they can help you mix a paint colour that matches the wallpaper.

Can I make changes to an order?

No. We begin processing your order as soon as you complete your purchase. Therefore, you cannot make changes to your order. If you have forgotten something, you can place a new order.

 What size are your wallpaper samples? 

Our wallpaper samples are printed on real wallpaper paper and are in A4 format, i.e. 210x297 mm. Wallpaper samples for custom-made wallpapers are A3 size, i.e. 297x420 mm.

Information about our wallpapers

Where are the wallpapers made?

All our wallpapers are made at Borås Tapetfabrik in Viared, just outside Borås, throughout the entire process from initial sketch to finished wallpaper. It is also the first wallpaper factory ever opened in Sweden. Please read more about us, our products and about our environmental work.

Are the wallpapers environmentally friendly and non-toxic?

Yes, our wallpapers are printed on materials from Northern European paper groups that work with sustainable forestry. As a guarantee of this, we and our suppliers are FSC-certified*. No PVC or harmful solvents are used in production, and they work exclusively with water-based colours and surface treatments that can safely be handled in the factory’s own treatment plant. The factory continuously strives to reduce energy consumption in wallpaper manufacturing and also seeks to minimise waste throughout the entire process, from roll production to printing. The waste material generated by the production facility in Borås is recovered and turned into district heating for the city of Borås. And when you receive the finished wallpaper roll from Boråstapeter in your hand, it is packaged in recyclable material.

Fire classification

All our wallpapers are fire-classified according to the EU standard EN13501. In most cases, the wallpapers achieve class B-s1,d0 without containing flame retardants. The current fire classification is printed on the label included with your wallpaper.

Delivery 

How do I track my order?

In the delivery email, you will find your tracking link. The link will take you to the carrier’s tracking page with information about your delivery.

Wallpaper samples are sent by regular post within Europe and therefore cannot be tracked.

How much is shipping?

Standard shipping varies by country and is calculated at checkout.

Wallpaper samples are shipped free of charge and sent as letters to your letterbox.
