  • Patent number: 6631683
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for customizing wallpaper designs that do not include repeating patterns, typical of prior art wallpaper. The method includes displaying copies of basic designs for wallpaper to customers for review and selection of designs. Each basic design consists of contiguous panel portions, one or more of which can be selected to provide a coherent subdesign. The customer then selects a wallpaper basic design and a subdesign of the selected basic design, which consists of a contiguous portion of the basic design and not the entire displayed basic design. A digital image of the selected basic design is modified by incorporating the subdesign selection to produce a customized digital image. Finally, the customized digital image is printed onto a suitable substrate for the wallpaper.
