I've always found that wallpaper unrolled 'pattern up' IYSWIM. In
other words if you unroll it facing you, the pattern is the right
way up.


If you unroll it with the pattern facing away from you then it's still
the right way up, just needs rotating around a vertical axis.

The free end of the roll goes to the top of the wall.


Sorry, I knew I hadn't explained that very well. In this case the free end
had to go to the bottom of the wall, the cut end to the top.


Is this a case where the pattern orientation is indicated
somehow, or simply you feel it looks better that way? I guess
some objects should clearly be a particular way up, lots of
others are more abstract.
