I see on the roll of wallpaper there are instructions to reverse hang each alternate drop. The pattern is very small stripes. Not opened the roll yet and I just wondered why the reverse hang instructions.

Hanging wallpaper .. reverse hang alternates ?

Perhaps if the stripes are not quite perfectly straight, hanging them alternately averages out differences (to the eye).
They have arranged it so that what you get is effectively a pattern repeat of twice the paper width, with the design mirrored about the join line.

I would be concerned that any directional texture effect would show up.
Still not opened it yet, but I can see the vertical pattern lines run out on the edges ... will keep you all posted wth the result .. starting Friday.
