Feature Walls

A single feature wall transforms a room without a full-room commitment. Popular in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms across Newark-on-Trent and Chorlton, where design-conscious buyers follow interior trends closely. The right wall choice is usually behind a bed head or fireplace. Feature wall wallpapering typically takes one day.

Full Room Wallpapering

Full room wallpapering requires accurate pattern matching from the first drop to the last. In Victorian or Edwardian properties with alcoves, chimney breasts, and recesses, common across Grantham, Gainsborough, and Chorlton, the joins need planning so the dominant pattern falls correctly at the focal points. We plan the layout before hanging a single drop.

Wallpaper Removal

Old wallpaper must be removed properly before new paper is hung. Hanging over existing paper causes new paper to bubble, lift, and fail within months. We remove all existing paper, treat the walls where needed, and confirm the surface is stable before hanging begins. Planning to paint once the paper is removed? See our interior painting page for surface preparation on original plaster.

We advise on placement, help with pattern orientation, and hang to a clean finish with accurate joins and tight edges at skirting, architrave, and ceiling line.

Specialist and Period Property Wallpapering

Designer wallpapers and period properties need a different level of care. We handle both regularly across Grantham, Gainsborough, and the south Manchester suburbs.

Designer and Luxury Wallpapers

Designer wallpapers are expensive. A roll of Cole and Son or Osborne and Little can cost £80 to £200. We handle heavy linen and fabric-backed wallpapers that require specialist adhesives and careful handling. Large pattern repeats need planning before the first roll is opened. Call 01522 457080 before hanging begins to discuss the paper’s specific requirements.

Period Property Wallpapering

Period properties in Grantham, Gainsborough, and Newark-on-Trent bring wallpapering challenges that modern new-builds do not have. Dado rails and picture rails divide walls into distinct horizontal zones. Chimney breasts and alcoves are the focal points of Victorian and Edwardian reception rooms. The chimney breast face should carry a complete pattern repeat.

Old plaster in period properties is often slightly uneven, out of true, or soft in places. We apply lining paper before wallpapering where the surface needs it. Looking for something bolder? Our feature wall painting service pairs well with wallpapered rooms for a mixed finish.

Wallpapering Costs in Lincoln

Prices below are estimates only. Every project is different. Call 01522 457080 for a precise quote.

What Drives the Cost

Wallpapering labour is quoted per room or per roll hung. Expensive designer papers do not increase labour costs directly, but they increase the cost of waste if the job is not planned carefully. Walls requiring old paper stripped, filled, and lined add time before a single drop is hung. Large pattern repeats mean more waste per drop.

Typical Cost Ranges

Feature wall (living room or bedroom): £80 to £160. Full room, standard dimensions: £150 to £350. Full room, period property with alcoves or chimney breast: £250 to £450. Full house or multi-room project: by quotation. Materials (wallpaper and adhesive) are priced separately.

Period Property Premium

Alcoves and chimney breasts in Grantham and Gainsborough reception rooms add time and material waste. A room that looks straightforward can take 30 to 50 percent longer than a plain rectangular room of the same floor area.

Wallpapering FAQs

Can you hang wallpaper in a room with alcoves and chimney breasts?

Yes. Alcoves and chimney breasts are common in the Victorian and Edwardian stock across Grantham, Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent, and Chorlton. We treat the chimney breast face as the focal point and work outward so the pattern reads correctly from the main viewpoint in the room. Everything is planned before a single drop goes up.

Do you remove old wallpaper first?

Yes. Old wallpaper is removed before new paper is hung. Hanging new paper over existing paper causes lifting, bubbling, and failure. We remove all existing layers, treat the bare wall where needed, and confirm the surface is stable before hanging begins.

Can you hang designer wallpapers like Cole and Son or Osborne and Little?

Yes. We handle designer and luxury wallpapers regularly. These papers have specific adhesive requirements, often have large pattern repeats, and need careful handling to avoid damage. Let us know the product before we begin so we can confirm the right adhesive and approach.

How long does wallpapering a room take?

A standard bedroom or living room typically takes one to two days. A room with alcoves, a chimney breast, or complex pattern matching takes longer, often two to three days. A single feature wall is usually done in one day. We give you a time estimate when we quote.

Is lining paper necessary before wallpapering?

Not always. Lining paper is needed when walls are uneven, when old paper has been removed and left a rough surface, or when the top wallpaper is very thin. In Greater Manchester’s period housing stock, lining paper is more often needed than not. We advise on this after seeing the wall.

Can you wallpaper a property with uneven original plaster?

Yes. Uneven plaster is common in the Victorian and Edwardian housing stock across our area. We apply lining paper to stabilise the surface and provide a consistent base. For walls with significant undulation, a skim plaster coat before lining is sometimes the right approach. We advise on the best option after seeing the wall.

How do I choose the right wallpaper for an Edwardian or Victorian property?

Period properties suit papers with weight and character. Botanical prints, geometric patterns with period references, damasks, and textured linens all work well in rooms with high ceilings and original architraves. Large-scale patterns suit rooms with tall walls. Dado rail zones suit smaller, contained patterns. We are happy to advise during the consultation.

Can you combine wallpapering with a room repaint?

Yes. Many clients use a feature wall paper alongside painted walls on the remaining three sides. We handle both as part of the same project.
