Feature walls or full rooms, hung straight and seamless, from bold prints to plain lining paper, with the pattern matched and the seams tight.
Good wallpaper hung badly looks worse than no wallpaper at all: wandering seams, a pattern that doesn’t line up, bubbles under the surface. It is a skill, and we do it properly. Walls are prepped and lined where needed. Paper is hung dead plumb. Patterns are matched across every drop. Seams are rolled tight so they disappear.
Feature walls are the most common wallpaper job in Oldbury now, usually the chimney breast in a 1930s semi or the wall behind the bed. Whole rooms still get papered in the older houses. The walls there are uneven enough that a lining paper and a good pattern hide more than paint ever would.
A single statement wall done right: the quickest way to change a room.
Whole rooms papered with the pattern carried true around corners and openings.
Every drop lined up so the print reads as one across the wall, not a patchwork.
Walls stripped, filled and lined first where needed so the finished paper sits flat and smooth.
On older Oldbury walls a lining paper goes up first, hung the opposite way, so the finished paper sits flat.
Photos of the wall or room, and the paper if you have chosen it. Tell us whether the old paper is still up. In a Langley or Warley semi, a photo of the chimney breast is often enough to plan the first price.
Yes: bring your own paper or we can source it. Either way we’ll advise on how many rolls you need so you’re not caught short mid-room.
Yes: old paper stripped, walls made good and lined if needed, so the new paper goes onto a sound, smooth surface.
Usually, by lining the wall first. We’ll take a look and tell you honestly what prep it needs.
Usually the one you see first as you walk in. Or it is the one the room is arranged around, such as a chimney breast or the wall behind a bed. A wall with a window or several doors in it rarely works as well.
Yes, though it is slower and fiddlier than a wall. A lightweight or paste-the-wall paper is much easier to work with overhead.
Paper where the paste goes on the wall rather than the paper. It is quicker to hang, easier to line up and usually easier to strip later, which makes it a good choice for a feature wall.
A feature wall is usually a day. A full room takes two or three days, including the stripping and any lining paper. A large pattern match takes longer.
What has to come off first, how uneven the walls are, and how large the pattern repeat is. A bold pattern wastes more paper and takes more time to line up than a plain one.
