CYOA

Thanks @Bernhard @frankenbike and @Airhead

re. pattern I assume the pattern repeat is a vertical 53, yes. From the website:

Product type Wallpaper
Width 0.53 m
Length 10.05 m
Repeat 0.53 m
Composition Paste the wall
Wallpaper type Standard

@Airhead I kind of assumed finishing the job later would lead to bits that looked or dried differently and figured you'd get the best results all in one fell swoop? Also if I stopped mid way I think there's a 95-100% chance of me never starting again.

I'd anticipated 5 x rolls. Would that sound like it SHOULD be enough? Not worried about any pattern matching above and below the stairs (if that helps)? It's not that expensive as wallpaper goes and I can return any spares "without quibble" according to wallpaperdirect.com but I'm loathe to over-order by more than one roll.

Anyone want to do it for me? I'll give you about 8 pounds in coppers, a half finished packet of baby rusks and any leftover wallpaper. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal tbf...

Which bits of wall connect to which other bits?

Probably the easiest thing to do would be draw out the sections of wall on square-lined paper (connecting the sections that join each other) and then see how many to-scale 53x53cm squares you need to cover the whole thing properly.

Or do it in sketchup. I once repaired a wood floor that way, had a big hole in the floor and a load of planks that had come out of it. Worked it out like a jigsaw in cad and then did it IRL.
