Wallpaper Installation

We install grasscloth and natural wallcoverings made from materials such as sisal, raffia, jute, hemp, cork, bamboo and other natural fibers.

Natural materials can vary in color, texture, weave and shading from one strip to another. Visible seams and a natural paneling effect may be part of the intended appearance and are not necessarily installation defects.

Careful panel placement, seam positioning, trimming and proper wall preparation help preserve the natural character of the material while achieving the appearance intended by the manufacturer.

We install linen, silk, woven fabrics and other textile wallcoverings for residential, commercial and luxury interiors.

Textile materials may stretch, move, fray at cut edges, show seams differently, or be vulnerable to moisture and adhesive contamination. Their construction and finished surfaces require careful handling throughout cutting, positioning and installation.

Proper preparation and installation techniques help protect the textile while preserving its texture, pattern and intended appearance.

We install custom-made murals, panoramic wallcoverings, scenic wallpapers, digitally printed murals and multi-panel designs.

Custom murals are often manufactured specifically for the dimensions of a particular wall and may arrive as numbered panels that must be installed in an exact sequence. Before installation, we verify dimensions, panel order, orientation, bleed and the position of the artwork around doors, windows, corners, cabinetry and other architectural features.

Precise layout, trimming and alignment help preserve continuity so the finished mural reads as one complete composition.

We install hand-painted and artisan wallcoverings created on paper, silk, grasscloth and other specialty substrates.

Individual panels may form part of a larger artistic composition, making panel sequence, artwork alignment, seams, corners and architectural interruptions important considerations. Delicate painted surfaces also require careful handling to avoid adhesive contamination, moisture, creasing, abrasion or damage during trimming and placement.

Our installation approach is designed to protect the material while presenting the artwork as the artist, manufacturer and designer intended.

We install metallic wallpapers, foil wallcoverings, copper and other metal-finish wallcoverings, metal-leaf papers, pearlescent wallcoverings and other reflective or iridescent finishes.

Reflective materials can reveal surface irregularities, seams, creases, scratches and adhesive contamination that may be less noticeable beneath other wallcoverings. Proper wall preparation, including a wallcovering liner when appropriate, can therefore be especially important.

Careful preparation and handling help create a consistent finished surface as natural and artificial light moves across the wallcovering.

We install residential vinyl wallpaper and commercial or contract-grade vinyl wallcoverings for hotels, restaurants, offices, multifamily properties, retail spaces and other high-traffic environments.

Commercial vinyl products can differ significantly from residential wallpaper in weight, backing, construction and performance requirements. Depending on the specified product, installations may include Type I, Type II and other contract wallcoverings.

Proper wall preparation, compatible adhesives, pattern alignment and consistent seam execution are essential, particularly on large projects spanning multiple rooms, floors or areas.

We install unusual and technically demanding wallcoverings incorporating materials such as mother-of-pearl, shell, natural feathers, glass beads, mica, wood veneer, leather, dimensional surfaces and other handcrafted elements.

We also install architectural film, LED wallpaper, braille wallpaper and performance-oriented products, including acoustic and acoustical wallcoverings, dry erase and whiteboard wallcoverings, as well as unconventional formats such as wallpaper tiles, wallpaper squares and decorative wallcovering panels.

Because these products vary widely in construction and surface characteristics, installation methods must be adapted to the specific material, format, substrate, adhesive requirements and manufacturer specifications.

We install everything from traditional wallpaper and grasscloth to textile wallcoverings, metallic finishes, hand-painted wallcoverings, specialty materials and custom murals on feature and accent walls, in both residential and commercial interiors.

Because a feature wall becomes a focal point, layout and positioning are especially important. We consider pattern placement, panel positioning, wall dimensions, architectural features, furniture placement and the relationship between the wallcovering and the elements around it.

Whether the design calls for a bold pattern, a textured wallcovering, a custom mural or a subtle accent, careful planning helps create a balanced installation that feels intentional within the overall space.

We install wallpaper and specialty wallcoverings on flat ceilings, tray ceilings, recessed ceiling areas, high ceilings and other architectural ceiling surfaces.

Ceiling installation requires careful overhead material handling, layout, alignment, seam control and precise positioning. It must also account for lighting fixtures, vents, moldings, ceiling transitions and other architectural interruptions. Patterned, metallic, mural and specialty wallcoverings can require additional planning because ceiling surfaces are viewed from multiple directions and under changing natural and artificial light.

For high ceilings and difficult-to-access areas, The Wallpaper Guys maintains its own scaffolding equipment, so our team can safely reach elevated work areas and properly handle, position, align and install the wallcovering.

We install wallpaper and wallcoverings in stairways, stairwells, landings, high-ceiling hallways and multi-level spaces, where height, access and changing wall geometry can make installation more demanding.

Careful measurement and layout are important for maintaining pattern continuity, seam placement and alignment across tall walls, corners, landings, architectural transitions and changes between floor levels. Murals, large-scale patterns and specialty wallcoverings may require additional planning when a design continues through multiple levels or across unusually tall surfaces.

For elevated and difficult-to-reach stairway areas, appropriate access equipment and our own scaffolding can be used to reach the surface and maintain proper positioning throughout the work.

We install wallcoverings on columns, curved walls, rounded surfaces, arches and other architectural forms where the material must conform to geometry that differs from a standard flat wall.

Before installation, we consider the radius and shape of the surface, the wallcovering construction, material flexibility, pattern direction, seam placement and the way the material will respond as it follows the curve. Some wallcoverings conform readily to curved surfaces, while thicker, dimensional or specialty materials may require additional planning or have limitations based on their construction.

Accurate layout and controlled placement help minimize pattern distortion, position seams appropriately and maintain the intended appearance as the wallcovering follows curved, rounded or cylindrical surfaces.

Detailed installations often involve much more than uninterrupted flat walls. We install wallpaper and wallcoverings in niches, alcoves, recessed areas, built-ins, architectural panels and other detailed interior surfaces.

These areas can require more precision than their size suggests. Inside and outside corners, reveals, moldings, millwork, shelving, cabinetry, fireplaces, doors, windows, electrical outlets, switches, fixtures and transitions between materials can create numerous cuts and alignment points within a compact area.

When appropriate for the material and design, we can cover outlet and switch plates, as well as suitable air-conditioning vent covers and speaker grilles, with wallpaper, carefully aligning the pattern with the surrounding wallcovering. As an alternative, we can custom color-match and paint suitable plates, covers and grilles to complement the wallpaper or the wall finish around them.

We handle large-scale and technically complex installations that require more than accurate placement of individual panels. These projects can involve detailed planning, precise cutting and fitting, specialized access, sequencing, coordination and consistent workmanship throughout. For designs that call for horizontal installation, we can railroad suitable wallcoverings, planning seam placement, pattern alignment and material handling according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Complex projects may include tall walls, high ceilings, staircases, stairwells, high-ceiling hallways, multi-story spaces, expansive surfaces, multiple rooms or floors, custom layouts, murals and specialty wallcoverings. Pattern placement, seams, cuts and transitions must be planned so the wallcovering integrates properly with the architecture of the space.

Large or complex projects may also require material organization, panel sequencing, coordinated crews and communication with interior designers, architects, contractors and other trades. Careful planning helps maintain consistent standards as work moves from one area, room, floor or phase to the next.

We install wallpaper and specialty wallcoverings in primary and guest bedrooms, children’s rooms, nurseries, walk-in closets and dressing rooms.

From feature walls and custom murals to complete room installations, careful layout considers beds, headboards, windows, doors, lighting, cabinetry and other architectural elements. Closets and dressing rooms may also require precision fitting around shelving, mirrors, switches, outlets and built-ins.

Often considered here: grasscloth and natural wallcoverings, fabric and textile wallcoverings, hand-painted wallcoverings, murals and scenic wallcoverings, metallic finishes and specialty wallcoverings.

We install wallpaper and specialty wallcoverings in powder rooms, primary bathrooms, guest bathrooms and other bathroom spaces.

Although these rooms may be compact, vanities, mirrors, sconces, plumbing fixtures, switches, outlets, doors and corners can require detailed layout and precision cutting. With murals and large-scale patterns, placement is carefully planned around these interruptions. Wallcovering selection should also account for the intended location, ventilation, moisture exposure, substrate and manufacturer recommendations.

Often considered here: vinyl wallcoverings and other washable or moisture-resistant products suitable for the specific bathroom environment. Decorative papers, murals, metallic finishes and specialty wallcoverings may also be appropriate depending on location, ventilation, moisture exposure and manufacturer recommendations.

We install wallpaper and specialty wallcoverings in dining rooms, living rooms, family rooms, dens, wine rooms and other gathering spaces, from feature walls and murals to complete room installations.

Layout can be planned around fireplaces, built-ins, windows, doors, moldings, wainscoting, furniture arrangements, lighting and important sightlines. In open-plan interiors, we also consider how the wallcovering will be viewed from adjoining spaces. For wine rooms, suitability should account for temperature, humidity, wall conditions and manufacturer recommendations.

Often considered here: grasscloth and natural wallcoverings, fabric and textile wallcoverings, hand-painted wallcoverings, murals and scenic wallcoverings, metallic finishes and specialty wallcoverings.

We install wallpaper and specialty wallcoverings in foyers, entryways, hallways, corridors, double-height entrances and high-ceiling connecting spaces.

Tall walls, stair connections, multiple openings, long wall runs, corners and changing sightlines require careful planning for pattern continuity, seams and transitions. For double-height foyers and other elevated areas, we use our own scaffolding equipment.

Often considered here: vinyl and other durable wallcoverings for higher-traffic areas, as well as grasscloth and natural wallcoverings, murals and scenic wallcoverings, hand-painted wallcoverings, metallic finishes and specialty materials.

We install wallpaper and wallcoverings in kitchens, laundry rooms and other utility spaces.

On kitchen walls, installation may require detailed fitting where the wallcovering meets cabinetry, backsplashes, countertops, appliances, windows, doors, trim, switches, outlets and other fixed elements. When appropriate for the wallcovering and design, outlet and switch plate covers can be wallpapered with the pattern aligned to the surrounding material, or custom color-matched and painted to complement it.

Often considered here: vinyl and other washable wallcoverings suitable for the intended wall area, along with other decorative wallcoverings when appropriate for the environmental conditions and manufacturer recommendations.

We install wallpaper and specialty wallcoverings in home offices, studies, libraries and other dedicated workspaces.

Built-in bookcases, cabinetry, shelving, millwork, windows, doors, switches and outlets can create numerous detailed installation areas. Precise measuring, pattern placement, trimming and fitting help integrate the wallcovering with these permanent elements. Installations can range from a feature wall or a wallcovering behind built-ins to a complete room.

Often considered here: grasscloth and natural wallcoverings, fabric and textile wallcoverings, traditional papers, murals and scenic wallcoverings, hand-painted wallcoverings and specialty finishes.

We provide wallpaper and specialty wallcovering installation for houses, estates, condominiums, apartments, penthouses and other residential properties, as well as repair and removal for existing interiors.

Projects range from individual powder rooms, bedrooms and feature walls to complete residences involving multiple rooms, custom murals, specialty wallcoverings, high ceilings, stairways and detailed architectural surfaces. Careful layout considers the architecture of each space, including focal points, furnishings, lighting, built-ins, windows and doors.

When working with interior designers, architects, contractors and other trades, we coordinate access, scheduling, preparation requirements and installation sequencing as part of the overall project.

We provide commercial wallcovering installation for hotels, restaurants, offices, retail spaces, multifamily properties, hospitality environments and other commercial interiors, as well as repair and removal for existing interiors.

We install Type I and Type II vinyl, acoustic and acoustical wallcoverings, murals, textiles, specialty materials and other contract wallcoverings specified for the project. Commercial installations may extend across multiple rooms, corridors, floors or phases of construction, and maintaining consistent layout, pattern alignment, seams, material organization and standards becomes more important as scale increases.

We work with property owners, interior designers, architects, general contractors and other trades to coordinate wall conditions, product requirements, access, scheduling and installation sequencing.

We install wallpaper and specialty wallcoverings in yacht and marine interiors, where curved surfaces, confined areas, built-in furnishings, cabinetry and detailed finishes require a highly precise approach.

Unlike conventional rooms with large uninterrupted walls, yacht interiors may involve numerous smaller surfaces, curves, corners, transitions, windows, doors, cabinetry, fixtures and other permanent elements. Accurate measuring, careful material handling, pattern placement, trimming and detailed fitting are especially important.

Installation methods are adapted to the wallcovering, substrate, surface geometry and manufacturer specifications, while protecting the surrounding finished surfaces throughout the work.
