Sandberg Wallpaper

About Sandberg

The house was founded by the Sandberg family in Ulricehamn, in the wallpaper country of western Sweden, and passed in 2012 to Irene and Christofer Gimmersta, whose family has specialised in wallpaper since the 1920s. The archive is still mined for new collections, and the designs are named for the Swedish landscape: Pine for the forest, Himmel for the sky, Rand for a plain painted stripe. Sandberg's approach is a love of detail, made possible by drawing every design by hand first, and it shows in the brushwork on Raphaël and the painted edge of the Gustav stripe.

Sandberg's paper

Sandberg wallpapers are free from toxins, heavy metals, plasticisers and PVC, the inks and pigments are non-toxic, the materials come from responsibly managed forests, and every tree used in production is replaced through Sandberg's planting partner. The commercial grade is the one exception on PVC: it has a discreet PVC top layer for added protection. Fire classification B-s1, d0 is certified on designs such as Ranold and Rosenholm.

What we stock and how it is sold

Rolled Sandberg wallpaper comes on 53 cm wide, 10.05 m rolls, non-woven and paste-the-wall, with the pattern repeat and match type listed on every product page. The mural and per-square-metre range is printed on Sandberg's 50 cm Mattic substrate and made to your wall size, and on those designs you can choose the finish: standard Paste the Wall, Mattic Peel & Stick for accent walls, or Commercial Vinyl for hard-wearing spaces. Rolled designs do not come in a peel-and-stick version. Lead time is normally three to four weeks, because the paper is printed to order in Sweden and shipped to Australia.

The designs Australians order most

Over the past year the most ordered Sandberg designs at Wallpaper Trader have been Gustav and Rand, two painted stripes, Raphaël, the hand-painted forest, and Lo, a floral. Forest and woodland is the theme customers search for most, followed by florals, then the calm cloud designs used in nurseries.

Before you order

Use the roll calculator with the repeat listed on the product page, round up, and buy all your rolls in one order so they come from the same batch. Sandberg's clouds and forests are large-scale designs, so a sample tells you far more than a screen about how much of the motif you will see on a 2.4 m wall. Our hanging guide covers paste-the-wall step by step, and installers in eight Australian cities are listed at book an installer.
