SAMPLES

Samples measure approximately 18 inches wide by 40 inches high and are available on loan for two weeks.

Please note that a sample represents only a portion of the overall design. It is intended to help evaluate the wallcovering’s colors, material, texture and craftsmanship, but may not include every motif or demonstrate the complete scale and composition.

In-stock samples generally ship within two to three business days. Contact sales@aqualille.com to request availability.

MEASURING YOUR ROOM

Measure the Width

Measure the combined width of every wall to be covered. Because our standard panel width is 3 feet, divide the total width in feet by 3 to estimate the number of panels required. Always round up for partial widths.

We recommend ordering at least one additional panel to allow for installation adjustments, future repairs or unexpected site conditions. Because handmade wallcoverings can vary subtly between production runs, an extra panel ordered with the original project will provide the closest possible match.

Measure the Height

Measure the full height of each wall. Aqualille panels do not have a standard height; each panel is made to the specifications of the room, with an appropriate allowance added for trimming and installation.

Please include doors, windows, sloped ceilings and other architectural details when providing measurements. We strongly recommend having an experienced professional paperhanger confirm all dimensions before placing the order.

HOW TO ORDER

1. Choose Your Design

Explore our collection of hand-painted, embroidered, beaded, gilded and hand-screen-printed wallcoverings. Each product page includes the design’s available colorways, grounds and decorative techniques.

2. Select a Ground

Aqualille works with materials including silk, rice paper, scenic paper, gilded paper, linen, velvet and hand-dyed tea paper. The ground affects the wallcovering’s texture, luminosity and overall character.

Our team can help you choose the material best suited to the design, room and desired atmosphere.

3. Request a Quote

Contact sales@aqualille.com with:

  • Your selected design and colorway

  • Your preferred ground

  • The width and height of each wall

  • Doors, windows and architectural details

  • Any customization requests

  • Your desired delivery date

Pricing is calculated by the yard and varies according to the design, ground, decorative techniques and level of customization. Our team will confirm the appropriate panel quantity and prepare a project-specific quote.

4. Approve Custom Details

Most Aqualille wallcoverings can be customized in background and design colors, ground material, embroidery, beading and other decorative details. Depending on the design, scale and motif placement may also be adjusted.

For custom orders, a strike-off may be created for approval before full production begins. This allows you to review the selected colors, ground and decorative treatment.

PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY

Most standard made-to-order wallcoverings ship in approximately eight weeks.

Custom orders generally ship within eight to ten weeks following strike-off approval. Rush production may be available for an additional charge. Timing may vary depending on the design, materials and scope of customization.

International orders require additional delivery time. Please review our Shipping Policy for current destinations and rates.

PANEL SEQUENCING

Wallcoverings with continuous or repeating designs are supplied in installation order from left to right and are intended to connect visually at the seams.

Keep the panels in their original sequence and provide all supplied installation instructions to your professional paperhanger.

HANDCRAFTED CHARACTER

Aqualille wallcoverings are created using exceptional materials and a combination of historical decorative techniques and contemporary artistry.

Because every wallcovering is handmade, subtle variations in color, texture, brushwork and decorative detail are natural. These distinctions are part of the work’s character and make every installation unique.

INSTALLATION

We strongly recommend working with a professional paperhanger experienced in installing hand-painted, silk, gilded, embroidered or custom wallcoverings.

A qualified installer can confirm measurements, prepare the wall correctly and handle each panel with the appropriate care.

PRESERVATION AND PROTECTIVE GLAZE

Treat your Aqualille wallcovering as you would a work of art. Avoid excessive water, humidity, abrasive cleaning products, harsh chemicals and prolonged direct sunlight.

A protective matte glaze is available for an additional charge and may be recommended for bathrooms or other moisture-prone spaces. Contact our team before ordering for guidance based on the installation environment.
