Residential Decorating

Wallpaper Hanging and Feature Walls

Wallpaper can add pattern, texture and focus to a room, but the result depends heavily on accurate preparation and setting out. JC Decorators provides wallpaper hanging for feature walls and broader room schemes, with attention to pattern alignment, edges and the condition of the wall beneath.

What is included

The work can be combined with painted walls and woodwork to create a coordinated room rather than treating the wallpaper as an isolated finish.

  • Hanging wallpaper on selected feature walls
  • Full-room wallpapering where suitable
  • Removing existing paper where included in the agreed scope
  • Filling, sanding and preparing wall surfaces
  • Applying lining paper where the condition and specification require it
  • Coordinating painted ceilings, adjoining walls and trim

Suitable property types

Wallpaper can work in both traditional and contemporary rooms when the paper and wall condition are suitable.

  • Living rooms and dining rooms
  • Bedrooms and nurseries
  • Hallways and entrance spaces
  • Period homes with decorative schemes
  • Modern homes using a single feature wall

Preparation process

Existing walls are checked for loose paper, uneven repairs, cracks and surface contamination. Old adhesive and unstable material need attention before a new covering is installed.

The wall may need filling, sanding, sealing or lining depending on its condition and the wallpaper specification. Pattern repeat and the starting position are planned before hanging begins.

Finish and materials considerations

Papers vary in width, repeat, backing and hanging method. Product instructions, batch numbers and the quantity supplied should be checked before work starts.

Strong patterns need careful positioning around corners, windows and focal points. Paint colours on adjoining surfaces should also be considered so the completed room feels intentional.

Frequently asked questions

The wall should be stable and sufficiently even for the chosen paper. The level of filling, sanding or lining required depends on the existing surface and how much texture the paper will reveal.

Yes, removal can be included in the quotation. The condition beneath old paper cannot always be confirmed until it has been removed, so additional preparation may become apparent.

You can contact us before ordering. The paper type, roll size and pattern repeat help determine the likely quantity and hanging requirements, although the client is responsible for approving and supplying the chosen design unless agreed otherwise.
