About This Design
About This Design
Once Upon a Rose is a romantic watercolor floral wallpaper and an original, painterly take on classic chinoiserie. Loose, hand-painted climbing roses wind through graceful botanical branches, accompanied by a sweet little bird, delicate butterflies and scattered wildflowers. Rather than the more formal florals and abundant birds often found in traditional chinoiserie, this design feels softer, freer and a little more storybook.
Inspired by the rambling roses, flowering trees and beautifully shaped branches I studied throughout Disneyland, the artwork was painted at a very large scale. Blush-pink roses climb and trail across the wall like flowers growing around a fairy-tale castle, while layers of watercolor and subtle background texture give the mural the character and depth of an original painting.
Despite its scale, Once Upon a Rose was intentionally designed with plenty of breathing room. Branches rise organically from below and drift across the wall rather than filling every inch, allowing the mural to wrap beautifully around an entire room without becoming overwhelming. Its soft palette of dusty pink, sage green and warm, weathered neutrals feels romantic without being overly sweet and whimsical without being reserved only for children's spaces.
Beautiful in a bedroom or nursery, Once Upon a Rose is equally at home in a powder room, dining room or other space where you want the walls to become part of the story. Pair it with warm woods, aged brass, soft linens and collected vintage pieces for a room that feels layered, considered and made to be loved for years.

Measuring Guide
Measuring Guide
Measure the Wall Width
- Measure the full width of your wall from edge to edge in inches.
- If covering more than one wall, measure each wall individually and add the widths together.
Measure the Wall Height
- Measure from floor to ceiling at the tallest point of the wall, in inches.
- If your wall has baseboards or molding, measure only the exposed wall area—from the top of the baseboard to the bottom of the molding.
Doors & Windows
- Take note of doors, windows, or built-ins.
- These areas should still be included in your measurements, as panels are trimmed around them during installation to ensure proper pattern alignment.
Important Note
Panels with different height options cannot be mixed. Mixing heights will cause the pattern to misalign.
Installation Guide
Installation Guide
Panel Size & Installation Direction
- Each panel measures 19" wide.
- Panels must be installed from left to right to ensure seamless pattern alignment.
Panel Order Matters
- Panels are custom printed in a specific sequence so the design aligns correctly.
- Each panel is numbered and must be installed in numerical order.
- Installing panels out of order will cause the pattern not to match.
Wall Preparation
- Walls must be clean, smooth, and free of dust, grease, or flaking paint.
- Even if your wall appears clean, we recommend washing it with mild soap and water and allowing it to fully dry before installation.
- Paint must be fully cured prior to wallpaper installation. Many paints require up to 30 days to cure—applying wallpaper too soon can result in off-gassing that causes lifting over time.
- Wallpaper should only be applied to properly prepared, smooth surfaces.
- We are not responsible for adhesion issues caused by textured, uneven, or unprepared walls.
Installer Recommendation
- For the best possible result, we recommend working with a professional wallpaper installer.
Recommended Adhesives & Tools
For Luxe Traditional Wallpaper
- We recommend Roman Pro-880 wallpaper adhesive for a smooth, professional-quality installation.
For Peel & Stick Wallpaper
- Adding EZ-Hang spray (available on Amazon) can provide slip during installation, making alignment easier and reducing the need to peel and re-stick. This can also improve adhesion to the wall.
- A seam reinforcer such as Roman Seam Repair Adhesive, along with a seam roller, can help secure seams and top edges and prevent or correct any lifting.
- Mixing panel heights within the same installation will result in an uneven or broken pattern match.
If you are between sizes, always choose the height that fully covers your wall and trim the excess.
