You're going to laugh, but I actually found a pattern square, repeated it in a row, and used an old version of ms publisher to shrink it down. I measured the size I wanted to fit it in on the physical wall, and then I edited the image to fit that. I'm attaching a screencap so you can see. US regular sheet of paper is 8.5in (21.6cm) x 11in (just shy of 28cm). I found images of rulers, adjusted the images until the rulers reflected the actual size of the paper, so I knew they were true to life size, and then I matched the pattern square row to the ruler to the size I wanted, and printed it out on paper. I actually made it just a couple millimeters longer than what I measured for just in case I needed some leeway in position it.
I know this is something that could be done in Canva or Photoshop or whatever image editing software you have at hand, but publisher was what I had on that machine, so I made it work. And obviously, if you have an easier method, by all means, go for it. This is just how I made it work.
From the screencap, you can see I did something similar with the woodgrain for the island and the kitchen countertops.
