carpet wrong way round

I once hung a Van Gogh bowl of fruit upside down and never noticed!

Oh gosh, I've just been having a conversation with my mum over the wallpaper I want to put on one wall in my living room. It has quite a large damask pattern and I'm getting really worried that if the walls are at all out, more of each individual bit of pattern will show depending on how far down the wall you look.

I was tempted to get a striped carpet for the stairs here but again, any slight unevenness to the pattern would have driven my crazy!

I have real issues with this sort of thing and notice it places all the time. In my old house, I changed the wallpaper on one wall three times in less than 2 months because even though it was even across the top, the corners of the walls were out.
