You shouldn’t be able to see where the sheets begin and end.  Also, like paint, wallpaper comes in a variety of patterns, colors and textures. One of the more popular types of wallpaper is natural wall coverings. When looking for a sustainable material that provides a natural look, consider searching for natural wall coverings.
