<h1>Design vocabulary</h1>
<p>Understanding the language of architectural wallcoverings is essential for selecting materials that align with both aesthetic and functional needs. Below is a curated glossary of terms that define the craft and materials central to the discipline.</p>

<h2>Weave</h2>
<p>The interlacing of warp and weft threads to form a textile structure, determining the material’s strength, drape, and visual character.</p>
<ul>
<li>Appears in linen-based paper as a tight, uniform weave that resists sagging when applied to curved surfaces.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Loom Finish</h2>
<p>The final treatment applied to a woven material on the loom, influencing its surface sheen, porosity, and durability.</p>
<ul>
<li>Found in a matte-finished linen roll, where the loom finish ensures even light absorption without glare.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Repeat</h2>
<p>The horizontal distance between identical sections of a design, critical for aligning patterns during installation.</p>
<ul>
<li>Measured precisely in a printed linen paper to ensure seamless alignment when applied to large wall areas.</
