Would you be happy with this wallpapering job?

I had my son and my bedrooms redecorated and I am really not happy with mine, but I don't know if I am being unreasonable as the owner of the decorating company said he can't fault it and it's a first rate job. Admittedly the ceiling is sloping but it doesn't fully explain or make up for why the decorator cut the wallpaper in such a way that part of the previous pattern is showing. The owner of the company said it wouldn't bother him but it bothers me, but apparently nothing can be done apart from cut a strip of the plain part of the wallpaper and stick it over

I have no experience of decorating and decorators, I found this company as they were highly rated on checkatrade. Am I being overly fussy? Maybe it's because when I am in bed I face this wall and so I am very aware of it as it is always in my line of sight. I have posted pictures of the wall in question

I absolutely couldn’t bear that op, no way. I’d have to make them redo it, that’s not a professional looking job at all Shock

Good result!
Can't see latest photo with 'patch'.

I wouldn't be happy either op.

It's lovely paper but how do you keep that clean.....granted I live in a dusty spider ridden farmhouse but does it not get dusty really easily?

That looks like a stain from the paste used. Oh god, I don't envy you having to go back with this extra problem. Is this in the other room?

Not in the other room thankfully

Have emailed pictures to the decorators but not heard back from them

Sorely tempted to just pay them for my son's room and be done with them
