GP & J Baker | California

California is a broader-scale botanical from the Signature collection, printed on a non-woven ground at 61 by 68.5 centimetres, wide enough that the design needs a proper wall to read as intended rather than a narrow strip. It has more scale and confidence than most of the Signature range's smaller prints, and carries a room on its own without needing much else on the walls.

The paper is a 100 per cent non-woven base, 68.5 centimetres wide, with a 61 centimetre vertical and 68.5 centimetre horizontal repeat. Two colourways: Soft Blue, a clear, even blue that reads fresh and current, and Vintage, a softer, more aged tonal option for a quieter room that still wants the same scale of pattern but with less contrast.

We would hang Soft Blue in a bathroom or a garden room where a fresher palette suits the light, and Vintage in a bedroom or sitting room that wants the same scale of pattern without as much contrast. Because the roll is wider than the collection's standard 52 centimetres, fewer seams are needed across a given wall, which is worth knowing when you compare it against a narrower paper on price and labour alike. Sold by the roll; order a sample before committing to a full room.

Match the pattern carefully at each of the wider seams, since any drift is more visible across a bigger repeat; allow for the 61 centimetre vertical repeat when you calculate drops, and buy from a single batch so the colour runs true across the whole room. Roll length is not given on this listing, so check the label before ordering; as a rule of thumb, the wider roll covers more wall per length, so allow around three rolls for an average wall.
