Whether you choose to have your room painted or wallpapered, both can provide a dramatic change to the appearance and feel of the room. Our top tip to applying wallpaper is good planning and being familiar with the different challenges that can occur when wallpapering.

• Is the pattern symmetrical?
• If your pattern has horizontal lines; do the lines match up?
• Are the walls well-prepared?
• Do the walls need cross lining?
• Have you got enough rolls?
• Do you know the best place to start?
• What is the best application method?

These are just some of the different elements that need to be considered. It is so important not to cut corners. What are you trying to achieve? A seamless finish!

Take time to evaluate the room and plan where you would like the seams to be placed. It may be that you have a repetitive pattern so you will need to make sure that the pattern falls correctly in line with the ceiling.

These images show a wallpapering project that we completed in Alderley Edge. This large and repetitive square and rectangular wallpaper pattern is a prime example of how important preparation is.

This particular job required thought and consideration around:

• Inside wall corners
• Outside wall corners
• Electrical switches
• Sockets
• The fireplace surround
• Ensuring the pattern remained level

The paper had a three-dimensional geometric design that created the illusion of depth to the walls. This decorating job was for a returning client; they were so pleased with the finish and look of their new room.

We provide all best-practices with hanging wallpaper and enjoy the challenge of the process leading to a truly inspiring transformation. Would you like to request a decorating quotation?

We went out to quote for the work quickly; due to the size of the job, this client requested references for work that we had previously completed which we were happy to provide.

Decorating a hallway can feel like a difficult process purely because there are a lot of elements that you need to think about. This is usually a high traffic area of the home that experiences some of the most wear-and-tear. This client decided that she wanted wallpaper to be applied throughout the hall, stairs and landing. She also wanted all doors, spindles and wood work to be painted too. The hallway was fully stripped, lined and papered throughout. (more…)
