• All wallpaper types and materials
• Feature wall and accent wall installations
• Mural and panoramic wallpaper hanging

Feature Walls & Accent Walls

One of the most popular residential wallpaper applications is the feature or accent wall. A single well-chosen wallpaper on one wall can completely transform a room's character — adding depth, texture, and personality without overwhelming the space. We specialize in creating these focal points in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and home offices throughout Chicago.

We help clients choose the right wall for maximum impact, advise on pattern scale relative to room size, and execute the installation with the precision that luxury wallcoverings demand.

Pattern Matching

Pattern matching is one of the most technically demanding aspects of wallpaper installation. Large repeat patterns, half-drop repeats, and random match papers all require different approaches. Our installers are trained to minimize waste while ensuring perfect visual continuity across every seam — a critical detail that separates professional results from amateur ones.

Our Process

1. Consultation: We visit your home, assess wall conditions, and discuss your design goals.
2. Written Estimate: You receive a detailed, itemized quote before any work begins.
3. Wall Preparation: We prime, skim coat, and smooth surfaces as needed.
4. Wallpaper Application: Precision hanging with careful pattern matching and seam work.
5. Inspection & Cleanup: Final walkthrough and thorough cleanup of your space.

Materials & Surfaces We Work With

• Grasscloth and natural fiber wallcoverings
• Silk and fabric-backed wallpapers
• Non-woven (paste-the-wall) papers
• Traditional paste-the-paper wallpapers
• Peel-and-stick removable wallpapers
• Custom printed and digital wallpapers
• Panoramic murals
• Drywall, plaster, and textured surfaces

Aftercare & Maintenance

After installation, we provide detailed care instructions for your specific wallpaper type. Most modern wallpapers are wipeable and easy to maintain. We advise on cleaning methods, how to handle minor repairs, and what to do if a seam lifts over time. Our goal is a result that looks beautiful for years to come.

Pricing Factors

Residential wallpaper installation pricing depends on several factors: the size of the area to be covered, the condition of the existing walls, the complexity of the pattern, and the type of wallpaper being installed. We provide transparent, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you're paying for. We never quote a flat rate without seeing the space first.
