Feature walls, whole rooms, murals, lining

Wallpapering

Feature walls and whole rooms hung with the pattern matched, the seams invisible and the walls lined first where they need it, in anything from a plain textured paper to a hand-printed mural.

Wallpaper is unforgiving. A pattern a millimetre out at a seam shows across the whole room, and an unlined wall shows every ridge of old plaster through a £90 roll.

Walls are stripped, washed, filled and sanded, then cross-lined with a lining paper so the finished surface is flat and the seams of the top paper have something to grip. Papers are measured for pattern repeat and drop before a roll is cut, hung with the right paste for the paper (paste-the-wall, paste-the-paper or ready-pasted all need different handling) and the seams rolled, not pressed with a thumb.

We hang everything from a plain lining paper you paint over to grasscloths, vinyls, flocks, wide-width murals and digitally printed panels. Bring the paper or let us order it to the trade, and we will tell you how many rolls before you buy them.

Questions about wallpaper

Can you hang paper I have already bought?

Yes. Send us the name and the batch number and we will tell you if it is enough and whether the walls need lining first.
