Our Wallpaper Installation Process
Wallpaper is unforgiving when walls are uneven, measurements are rushed, or pattern placement is not planned properly. A successful installation depends on understanding the room, the material, and how light moves across the surface. Small details like wall condition, primer choice, seam placement, and corner handling all affect the final result. The goal is a smooth, secure finish that looks intentional from every angle and holds up over time.
Material & scope review
We review the wallpaper type, roll size, pattern repeat, dye lot, and installation area before work begins. We also confirm feature wall placement, room access, and any schedule requirements for occupied spaces.
Assessment & protection
Floors, furniture, trim, fixtures, and nearby finishes are protected so the work area stays clean. Walls are checked for dents, texture, moisture concerns, loose paint, and previous coatings that may affect adhesion.
Preparation & priming
Minor flaws are repaired, uneven areas are sanded, and surfaces are cleaned before installation. A wallpaper primer or sealer is applied when needed to improve adhesion and support future removal.
Layout & pattern planning
We map the first drop, seam placement, corners, outlets, windows, and focal points before cutting. Patterns are balanced where possible so the finished wall looks centred, even, and professionally planned.
Professional installation
Wallpaper is cut, pasted or activated, positioned, smoothed, and trimmed with care. Seams are aligned closely, bubbles are worked out, and edges are detailed for a clean, secure finish.
Clean finish & walkthrough
Paste residue is cleaned, edges are checked, and the finished surface is inspected under room lighting. A final walkthrough confirms pattern alignment, seam quality, and the overall look before sign-off.

FAQs
What types of wallpaper can be installed?
Most common wallpaper types can be installed, including pre-pasted, paste-the-wall, traditional pasted wallpaper, textured wallpaper, grasscloth, and commercial wallcoverings.
Do walls need to be perfectly smooth first?
They should be as smooth as possible. Wallpaper can highlight dents, texture, seams, and old repairs, so proper patching, sanding, and priming are important.
Can wallpaper be installed on one feature wall?
Yes. Many projects involve one feature wall in a bedroom, dining room, office, reception area, hotel room, or restaurant space.
How much wallpaper should I order?
The amount depends on wall size, roll width, pattern repeat, waste, and layout. It is best to confirm measurements before ordering so there is enough material from the same dye lot.
Can wallpaper be installed in bathrooms?
Yes, but ventilation and product choice matter. Moisture-resistant materials and proper primers are recommended for powder rooms and bathrooms with good airflow.
Will seams be visible?
Some seams may be slightly visible depending on the wallpaper type, colour, texture, and lighting. Careful layout, trimming, and smoothing help keep seams as clean and subtle as possible.
Can old wallpaper be installed over?
It is usually better to remove old wallpaper first. Installing over existing wallpaper can create adhesion issues, bubbling, texture problems, and future peeling.
