No — and this is one of the biggest reasons Houston families feel comfortable ordering from Olive et Oriel. We pay all US duties and import tariffs on wallpaper orders shipped to Houston, which means the total you see at checkout is the total you pay. There are no extra invoices after purchase, and you won’t receive a “payment required” message from a courier before they’ll deliver your order.

This matters because kids’ rooms are often planned around real timelines — nursery setup dates, room swaps when siblings start sharing, or that weekend you finally have an installer booked. Import delays caused by unpaid fees can throw everything off. By managing customs clearance and costs on your behalf, Olive et Oriel removes that uncertainty so you can plan the project with confidence and keep your budget intact.

After dispatch, Olive et Oriel wallpapers typically reach the USA in approximately 4–5 business days, and sometimes earlier — including deliveries to Houston. You’ll receive tracking so you can follow the shipment from dispatch through to delivery, which helps if you’re coordinating an installer or trying to time a room update around family schedules.

Because each wallpaper is printed to order, production time is included before dispatch. That’s not a delay — it’s the part that ensures your wallpaper is made specifically for your wall dimensions and printed with consistent colour and clarity. Once dispatched, we manage international shipping and customs clearance in the background so the process feels predictable on your end. If you’re working toward a specific deadline, our team can help you plan the order window so the project stays on track.

Yes. Olive et Oriel kids wallpaper is designed for family homes and is suitable for nurseries, toddlers’ rooms, and children’s bedrooms — with the kinds of details parents care about when the space is used every day.

Our wallpapers are low VOC, meaning they emit very low levels of volatile organic compounds. In a nursery or child’s bedroom, this matters because babies and toddlers spend long periods sleeping and playing in the same air, often close to walls and surfaces. We also print without latex inks, using UV print technology instead. UV printing cures inks instantly during production, which helps reduce off-gassing and odour compared with traditional printing approaches. It’s a practical, modern method that supports both a more comfortable room environment and a better long-term finish.

UV printing also contributes to durability and colour stability, which is ideal for kids’ rooms where hands, toys, and everyday life can be hard on walls. If you’d like help choosing the best wallpaper type for your room and wall surface, our team can guide you before you order.

Both can work in Houston — the right choice depends on your wall surface and how long you plan to stay. Peel & stick wallpaper is popular in rentals because it’s designed for flexibility and can be a smart option for apartments and townhomes where you want personality without a permanent commitment.

For best results, peel & stick performs best on smooth, clean, properly prepared walls. If your wall is heavily textured, has flaking paint, or has been painted very recently with low-quality paint, peel & stick may not bond as intended. In those cases, a paste-the-wall option is often the more reliable path for a clean, professional finish.

If you’re unsure, this is exactly where our support matters: tell us what your walls are like (and send a photo if you can), and we’ll help you choose the option that reduces risk for your specific home — rather than guessing.

This is a normal concern, especially in Houston homes where feature walls can be wider, ceilings can vary, and rooms often include windows, doors, or built-ins. Olive et Oriel provides measuring guidance before you order so you can capture the correct height and width confidently and account for real-life wall conditions (corners that aren’t perfectly square, trim details, ceiling variance).

If your room has anything unusual — a sloped ceiling, a large window grouping, or a layout you’re unsure how to approach — we can guide you through a practical measuring method that reduces uncertainty. Many customers also start with a sample to confirm scale and overall feel before ordering the full wall. The goal is simple: remove guesswork, support a smoother installation, and help the finished room look intentional.

Yes, and for most families it’s the best first step. A sample lets you see colour, texture, and print scale in your own home before committing. Houston homes can have very different lighting from room to room — bright windows in one space, softer light in another — and a sample helps you choose with clarity rather than relying on a screen.

Samples are also useful when you’re coordinating with bedding, rugs, paint, and furniture. Instead of trying to imagine how everything will sit together, you can evaluate it in real life and make a confident decision. Once you’ve chosen your favourite, your wallpaper is printed to order for your wall dimensions and shipped to Houston with free shipping and duties/tariffs already covered.
