Glossary: Wallpaper Repeat

**Wallpaper Repeat** is the vertical distance between identical patterns along a roll of wallpaper, which dictates how strips must be aligned and cut, introducing waste margins.

Pattern Repeat Alignment

Common pattern matches include straight matches, drop matches, and random matches. A larger vertical repeat pattern size requires more waste margin per roll to align panels at eye level.
