Waterhouse
Kensington Gardens

A classic pattern of floral topped and garlanded columns.

Description: Kensington Gardens features an 18th century design with neoclassically influenced columns by opulent floral arrangements with twining blossoms encircling the column. This design is from the Waterhouse archives, which boasts one of the finest collections of circa 1700-1920 wallpapers. These papers were designed and often hand-painted by the most accomplished artists of their day and are truly works of art and then carried by clipper ships from Asian and European ports to the bustling seaports of New England.

Dorothy Waterhouse spent years traveling the New England Countryside searching trunks, attics, and even closets of old homesteads for fragments of the original papers. The papers she found hidden, often under layers of paint or wallpaper, are the basis for this outstanding collection and an important part of the American heritage. Because each design is a work of art, each design is not only timeless, but also always in good taste, serving as the perfect setting for any decorating style.

How Much Wallpaper Do I Need?

Although it varies by number of doors and windows and pattern match, it takes, on AVERAGE, 10 rolls to paper the walls in an 8 x 10 room with 8 ft. high ceilings. The same room with 10 ft. high ceilings would need 12 rolls. To paper the walls of an average 10 x 14 room with 8 ft. ceilings you will need, in general, a minimum of 14 rolls. If you have 10 ft. ceilings and a 16 x 20 room, you will likely need a minimum of 26 rolls. You should use an on-line wallpaper calculator to determine your exact needs. There are several available, including one at http://diy.easy2.com/. I always like to add a roll or two so I have extra just in case I cut a piece incorrectly or for things like lining drawers or shelves, or even papering a closet to match the room.
