Every wallpaper is different. Some papers are easy to handle, while others are heavier, more delicate, wider, more expensive or harder to match. Before starting, we check the wall condition, wallpaper type, pattern repeat, manufacturer instructions and the level of preparation needed.

Feature Wall Wallpapering

Feature walls are one of the most popular wallpapering services. A single wallpapered wall can add colour, texture and character without covering the whole room.Feature wall wallpapering is ideal for:

  • Bedrooms
  • Living rooms
  • Dining rooms
  • Home offices
  • Children’s rooms
  • Media walls
  • Fireplace walls
  • Headboard walls
  • Hallways
  • Small bathrooms or cloakrooms where suitable
  • Commercial reception areas
  • Salons, cafés and retail spaces

A feature wall needs to be centred properly, especially when the wallpaper has a strong pattern, mural design or repeated print. We take care with layout, measuring, joins, corners and cutting around sockets, switches and edges.

Digital Mural Wallpaper Newcastle

Digital mural wallpaper is becoming more popular for homes and businesses that want a unique finish. Murals can include landscapes, abstract designs, brand graphics, children’s room designs, maps, floral designs, city scenes or custom printed images.Digital murals need careful planning because each panel usually has a specific order. If the first panel is not positioned correctly, the whole design can move out of line.We can help with:

  • Digital mural wallpaper installation
  • Custom printed wall murals
  • Large wall murals
  • Bedroom mural wallpaper
  • Living room mural wallpaper
  • Children’s room murals
  • Office and reception wall murals
  • Commercial mural wallpaper
  • Panel alignment and pattern matching
  • Wall preparation before mural installation

For digital murals, the wall needs to be prepared properly. Any bumps, cracks or rough areas may show through the finished mural. We can assess the wall before hanging and advise whether filling, sanding, lining paper or skimming is needed.

Wide-Width Vinyl and High-End Wallcoverings

Some premium wallpapers and commercial wallcoverings are wider and heavier than standard wallpaper. These can include wide-width vinyl, heavyweight wallpaper, fabric-backed vinyl, textured wallcoverings and specialist designer papers.Wide-width vinyl and high-end wallcoverings can be used in:

  • Feature walls
  • Luxury bedrooms
  • Living rooms
  • Dining rooms
  • Hallways
  • Hotels and guest accommodation
  • Restaurants and cafés
  • Retail units
  • Offices and reception areas
  • Commercial premises

These materials often need more care because they can be expensive, heavier to handle and less forgiving than standard wallpaper. The wall condition, adhesive type, cutting method and manufacturer instructions all matter.Before quoting, we may ask to see the wallpaper label, installation instructions, wall size and photos of the wall. This helps avoid problems and makes sure the correct preparation is allowed for.


Traditional Wallpaper Hanging

Traditional wallpaper can still give a beautiful finish, especially in older homes, character properties and rooms where a softer classic style is wanted.We can help with:

  • Paste-the-paper wallpaper
  • Patterned wallpaper
  • Floral wallpaper
  • Textured wallpaper
  • Traditional paper hanging
  • Wallpaper around fireplaces
  • Wallpaper around windows and doors
  • Wallpapering older walls
  • Feature walls in traditional homes
  • Careful trimming and pattern matching

Traditional paper can be more delicate than modern paste-the-wall wallpaper, so it needs to be handled carefully. Some papers need soaking time, some stretch slightly, and some require extra care around seams and corners.

Designer and Luxury Wallpaper Installation

If you have bought expensive or designer wallpaper, it is important to use someone who understands the risk of waste, poor cutting and pattern mistakes.We can help with luxury wallpaper installation for:

  • Designer feature walls
  • High-end bedroom wallpaper
  • Premium living room wallpaper
  • Statement hallway wallpaper
  • Textured wallpaper
  • Metallic wallpaper
  • Delicate paper
  • Heavyweight wallpaper
  • Wide-width designer paper
  • Mural wallpaper
  • Premium commercial wallcoverings

With expensive wallpaper, preparation and planning are just as important as hanging the paper itself. We measure carefully, check the pattern repeat and plan the drops before starting. This helps reduce mistakes and gives a cleaner finish.

Wallpaper Removal Newcastle

Old wallpaper removal is often needed before painting, replastering or installing new wallpaper. Some wallpaper comes off easily, but other walls can be more difficult, especially where there are several layers, old adhesive, painted wallpaper or damaged plaster underneath.Our wallpaper removal services include:

  • Stripping old wallpaper
  • Removing loose paper and adhesive
  • Removing wallpaper from bedrooms, living rooms and hallways
  • Preparing walls after wallpaper removal
  • Filling holes and cracks
  • Sanding rough areas
  • Stain blocking where needed
  • Advice on painting, lining paper or skimming after removal

Once wallpaper is removed, the wall condition becomes clear. Some walls only need minor filling and sanding. Others may need more repair work or skimming before paint or new wallpaper can be applied.

Wall Preparation Before Wallpapering

Wallpaper shows the condition of the wall underneath. If the surface is rough, cracked, dusty, damp, flaky or uneven, the finished wallpaper may not sit properly.Wall preparation can include:

  • Filling cracks and holes
  • Sanding rough areas
  • Removing loose paint
  • Sealing dusty surfaces
  • Stain blocking marks
  • Repairing damaged plaster
  • Preparing walls after stripping wallpaper
  • Applying lining paper where suitable
  • Advice on whether skimming is needed

Good preparation helps wallpaper bond properly and gives the final finish a much cleaner look. This is especially important for smooth wallpapers, murals, metallic papers and premium wallcoverings.

Lining Paper Newcastle

Lining paper can help improve the surface before painting or wallpapering. It can be useful when walls are slightly rough, marked or uneven, but do not always need full plastering.We can help with:

  • Lining paper installation
  • Preparing walls for paint
  • Preparing walls for wallpaper
  • Covering small imperfections
  • Improving older walls
  • Smoother finish before decorating

Lining paper is not a replacement for plastering if the walls are badly damaged, but it can be a good option in the right situation. We can advise after seeing the wall condition.
