I've been hanging wallpaper for years but this pattern repeat
description has got me beat:
'[the wallpaper] comes in 52cm x 10m rolls. It has a pattern repeat
of 61cm and a half drop'.

What do they mean by '61cm and a half drop'?

The single wall onto which the wallpaper is destined is 3.3m wide by
2.3m high. Experience says 4 drops per roll so two rolls should do
it. Does the repeat description alter this?

TIA

I would read it as an idiots way of saying 61.5cm.

But then anything is possible from that description. )

I think it means the pattern repeats at 61, so the lengths need be cut at
least 30.5 longer than a full length (from floor to ceiling)
