Marimekko Wallpaper from New Wall, Inc.

Happy news! You may now adorn a wall (or several) with a favorite Marimekko pattern.


The paper is brought to us by New Wall, Inc., a Canadian-based distributor of the finest brand name wallcoverings, who secured the distribution rights to a number of Marimekko patterns. The wallcoverings are printed on vinyl using a gravure printing process, which offers designers the opportunity to achieve a full range of color tone.


Marimekko wallcoverings are sold in "Euro rolls" or "double rolls" measuring 11 yards x 27.6", to cover approximately 74 square feet. Each roll is $149.00. We can order what you need and have in stock in approximately one week.



Most patterns are available in several color options. Stop by the shop to see our sample book and get inspired to spruce up a room.
