Olesya and Elena Stasov, heads of the studio "StasovySisters":

- If we talk about serious author's projects,it's better to trust your designer. Because this is the person who knows this market. He leads your project and will take into account all your wishes, find the best option for you (both in price and in quality performance). If, nevertheless, you buy wallpaper yourself, consider the number of rolls when buying. You will protect yourself by purchasing one roll in excess of what you need. When gluing wallpaper, part of the roll can be cut off to fit a given rapport (a repeating element of the pattern). And even if your child feels like an artist and depicts his masterpiece on the wall, or “creative talents” wake up in the cat, you can easily return the wall to its original appearance. If you go back to buying wallpaper later, their color may differ, it has tonal differences in each batch. The lot number must match on each of the purchased rolls. stasovy.ru From the Editor: We express our gratitude to Natasha Lomeiko for her participation in the preparation of the material. zoffany.com, elizainteriors.ru, stasovy.ru
