Manhattan Wallpaper | Contemporary Art Deco Design

Give your walls a refined nod to the Jazz Age with Manhattan Wallpaper, a contemporary take on classic Art Deco style. Hand-drawn motifs bring a softer, more human touch to the signature geometry, while the considered layout keeps the pattern feeling architectural and composed.

Inspired by traditional Art Deco colour palettes but subtly muted, Manhattan offers all the character of the era in a more understated, easy-to-style form. The result is a design that feels elegant and modern rather than overtly nostalgic, making it a versatile choice for both pared-back and more decorative schemes.

How to calculate number of rolls needed

Measure Walls: Measure the total width and height of each wall you'll wallpaper.
Calculate Drops per Wall: Divide the wall's width by the wallpaper's width (e.g., 0.75m). Round up to the next whole number for your "drops".
Account for Pattern (Crucial!): Check the pattern repeat. Add the repeat length to your drop height for each drop, as you'll lose material matching.
Calculate Total Length Needed: Multiply the number of drops (including pattern repeat adjustments) by the height of the wall to get the total length required for that wall.
Calculate Rolls per Wall: Divide the total length needed by the length of one roll (e.g., 7m). Round up to the next whole number.
Sum for Room: Repeat for all walls and add up the rolls needed, adding 10-20% extra for waste, errors, or future repairs, especially with large patterns.
