Feature Walls & Accent Walls

An accent wall is one of the most impactful — and affordable — ways to reinvent a room. A single wall of bold botanical, a moody geometric in the home office, or a soft linen texture behind a bed can completely change a space's atmosphere.

We help you determine the right wall, advise on scale and repeat, and ensure seamless execution from ceiling to floor.

Our Installation Process

1. Free Consultation: We visit your home, assess wall conditions, discuss your vision and provide a detailed estimate.
2. Material Selection: Choose from our curated selection or bring your own. We verify pattern repeats and quantities.
3. Wall Preparation: Sanding, patching, priming — we ensure a smooth, clean substrate before any paper goes up.
4. Precision Cutting: Each strip is measured, cut and dry-fit before pasting to ensure perfect alignment.
5. Installation: Professional hanging with tight seams, consistent pattern matching and no bubbles or creases.
6. Trim & Finishing: Precise trimming at ceilings, baseboards and obstacles. All edges secured and smooth.
7. Cleanup: We remove all debris, paste residue and packaging. Your room is left clean and ready to enjoy.

Materials & Wallpaper Types

• Grasscloth: Natural woven texture, ideal for living rooms and dining rooms
• Vinyl: Durable, washable — great for kitchens, bathrooms and family rooms
• Fabric-backed: Extra durability, excellent for high-traffic areas
• Silk & metallic: Luxury finishes for formal spaces
• Traditional paste: Classic papers requiring paste application
• Non-woven: Easy to hang and remove — ideal for renters or frequent redecorators

Pricing Factors

Residential wallpaper installation pricing depends on several variables:

• Square footage and number of walls
• Wallpaper type and pattern repeat complexity
• Wall condition (smooth drywall vs. textured or damaged walls)
• Obstacles: windows, doors, outlets, corners
• Whether wall prep or wallpaper removal is required

We provide free, itemized estimates — no hidden fees, no surprises. Contact us to schedule your consultation.

Pattern Matching & Aftercare

Proper pattern matching is what separates a professional installation from a DIY attempt. We calculate waste factors for each repeat type and mark every strip before cutting. Straight matches, half-drop repeats and random textures all require different approaches — we've handled thousands of each.

After installation, we provide care instructions specific to your wallpaper type. Most modern wallpapers are washable with a damp cloth; specialty materials like grasscloth or silk require more delicate care.
