Wallpaper hanging in Plymouth, prepared and finished with care
Feature walls, whole rooms and the paintwork around them, hung by a decorator who can also help you choose a paper that suits the room.
What should you look for in wallpaper hanging in Plymouth?
Good wallpaper hanging in Plymouth depends on what happens before the first roll goes up. Walls need to be sound, smooth and properly prepared, patterns need planning so they line up and sit centrally, and the paintwork around the paper should be finished to the same standard. I hang wallpaper across Plymouth and the South Hams.
Preparation is where most of the time goes. Old paper may need stripping, cracks filling and surfaces sanding, and some walls benefit from lining paper first so the finished paper sits flat. One customer said I "spent loads of time prepping the walls to ensure the best finish", and I take the same care before any paper goes up.
Choosing a paper can be the exciting part and the worrying part. A bold pattern can look wonderful on one wall of a bedroom or a chimney breast in a living room, but scale, colour and light all matter. Because colour and design advice is part of how I work, I can help you pick a paper and paint colours that sit well together.

Smooth, sound walls are what make wallpaper look right, so time goes into filling and sanding before anything is hung.
An eye for pattern
I think about where a pattern will sit, how it meets corners and ceilings, and how it works with the paint colours around it.

Floors and furniture are protected, I clear up at the end of each day, and we walk through the room together before sign-off.

QUESTIONS
Do walls need lining paper before wallpapering?
Lining paper is often used before wallpapering on older or uneven walls, because it gives a smooth, even base and helps the finished paper sit flat. Not every wall needs lining paper. Daniel Riley looks at the condition of your walls at the first visit and explains whether lining is worth doing in your room.
How much wallpaper do I need for a room?
The amount of wallpaper a room needs depends on the wall sizes, the roll size and the pattern repeat, because larger repeats use more paper when matching. Buying every roll from the same batch number, plus a spare, avoids colour differences. Daniel Riley can help you work out quantities when he visits.
Can you hang wallpaper on freshly plastered walls?
Freshly plastered walls need to dry out fully before wallpapering, and new plaster usually needs sealing or sizing so the paste does not soak in too fast. Drying time depends on the plaster thickness and the room. Daniel Riley can advise on timing and preparation, and can put you in touch with a trusted plasterer if walls need work first.
Should I wallpaper a feature wall or the whole room?
A wallpapered feature wall suits bold patterns and smaller budgets, while papering a whole room gives a more enveloping look that often works best with quieter designs. The right choice depends on the room's size, light and use. Daniel Riley offers colour and design advice alongside wallpaper hanging in Plymouth, so he can help you decide.
How much does wallpaper hanging cost in Plymouth?
The cost of wallpaper hanging in Plymouth depends on the number of walls, the condition of the surfaces, the type of paper and how complex the pattern is to match. Daniel Riley gives free, no-obligation quotes after a visit, so you get a price for your actual room rather than an estimate.
