Feature Walls and Pattern Matching
Feature walls have become one of the most popular ways to add personality to a room without overwhelming the space. Our team specializes in creating stunning accent walls that serve as focal points — whether behind a bed, in a dining area, or framing a fireplace. We pay particular attention to pattern matching across seams, ensuring that geometric designs, florals, and abstract motifs flow seamlessly from panel to panel.
For rooms with multiple wallpapered walls, we carefully plan the starting point and direction of installation to minimize waste and ensure the most visually balanced result. Complex patterns like large-scale damasks or murals require additional planning, and our experience with these materials means you can expect flawless execution.

Pricing Factors
The cost of residential wallpaper installation depends on several variables. We provide transparent, itemized quotes so you understand exactly what you are paying for.
- Wall condition — Walls requiring significant repair or smoothing add preparation time
- Material type — Delicate materials like silk or grasscloth require more careful handling
- Pattern complexity — Large repeats or complex patterns increase material waste and installation time
- Room size and layout — More windows, doors, and corners mean more detailed trim work
- Ceiling height — Taller walls require additional material and scaffolding
- Existing wallpaper removal — If old wallpaper needs to be removed first, this adds to the project scope
Aftercare and Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your wallpaper significantly. After installation, we provide detailed guidance on maintaining your specific wallcovering type. General recommendations include avoiding direct moisture contact for the first 48 hours, using a soft dry cloth for dusting, and addressing any edge lifting promptly with appropriate adhesive. For vinyl and coated papers, gentle cleaning with a damp sponge is typically safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does residential wallpaper installation take?
Most single rooms are completed within one day. Larger projects or rooms requiring extensive preparation may take two days.
Can wallpaper be installed over textured walls?
Light textures can sometimes be covered, but we generally recommend smoothing textured walls first for the best result and longest adhesion.
Do you supply the wallpaper or do I need to purchase it?
You can provide your own wallpaper or we can help source materials. We work with any wallpaper you choose.
Is wallpaper safe for children's rooms?
Yes. We recommend VOC-free adhesives and washable vinyl or non-woven papers for children's spaces.
Can I wallpaper just one wall?
Absolutely. Single accent walls are one of our most popular requests and create a dramatic focal point.
What happens if a seam lifts after installation?
Minor edge lifting can occur in certain conditions. We provide guidance on simple repairs and offer follow-up service if needed.
Do you move furniture before installation?
We ask that large furniture be moved away from walls before our arrival. We can assist with lighter items on the day of installation.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines.
