All about wallpaper
Wallpaper can be one of the most expensive surfaces in your home, both for material and install. Designing with and coordinating wallpaper requires tons of forethought and planning. It’s important to get it right. Here are a few tips we’ve learned over the years.
Order early
Wallpaper is likely to be the center of the design of whatever space you’re including it in, so it’s important to select this early.
- To ensure you get the wallpaper you want, you need to order all that you’ll need up front. By the time your renovation or construction is complete, the centerpiece of your design may be out-of-stock.
- Get your installer in early to measure the room and calculate how much of the particular wallpaper you’ll need. This isn’t as simple as square footage, the repeat of the pattern will be an important factor in determining the takeoff and we always order 30-40% extra just in case.
- Make sure you have a safe space to store your wallpaper away from the project.
Install LAST
This is very important: if a construction worker looks sideways at your wallpaper, it will be destroyed.
Your wallpaper installer should be scheduled after every trade is complete, after all cleans are complete, and after your furniture is in. This is the only way to ensure it doesn’t get damaged.
