Wallpapering Services in Newcastle

Feature Walls and Accent Walls

A single feature wall creates visual interest and a focal point in a room without committing to full wallpaper coverage. We help you select a wall that makes visual sense. Often that is the wall you see first when entering, or the wall behind a bed or sofa.

Feature walls work well in open-plan living spaces in modern Kenton and Ponteland properties. A bold paper adds definition to a zone without overwhelming the space.

Full Room Wallpapering

Full room wallpapering covers all four walls, around doors and windows. It requires precise hanging and accurate pattern matching. We work efficiently to complete rooms in one to two days depending on room size and complexity.

All existing wallpaper is removed and surfaces are prepared to a smooth, flat finish before new paper hangs.

Lining Paper Application

Lining paper is essential on uneven period plaster. It provides a smooth substrate for hanging feature paper without the bumps and pits of original plasterwork showing through. Cross-lining is the most reliable approach on older walls in Jesmond and Gosforth properties.

Lining paper is also applied when hanging delicate or expensive wallpapers that need a perfect substrate.

Wallpaper Removal and Preparation

Wallpaper Removal

Existing wallpaper is stripped back to bare plaster or painted surfaces. We use a combination of steaming, soaking, and careful scraping to remove old paper without damaging the wall underneath.

If wall damage is revealed during removal, we flag it and advise on repair options before hanging new paper.

Preparation for Hanging

Bare plaster is filled and sanded where needed to create a smooth surface. Painted walls are key-sanded lightly to help paste adhesion. All surfaces are cleaned and assessed for damp before any new paper goes on.

On period properties, we check for and treat any biological growth before hanging begins.

4. Pattern Matching and Layout

We plan the hang to minimise joins and ensure pattern continuity across walls.

5. Paste and Hanging

Wallpaper is carefully hung with precision cutting around doors, windows, corners, and cornicing.

6. Final Trim and Inspection

What Drives the Price

Three things drive the price. Lining paper requirement — period properties with uneven plaster require lining paper, which adds significant preparation time. Room size and complexity — a large reception room with bay windows and cornicing takes longer than a simple bedroom. Wallpaper grade — budget papers cost less than designer or luxury options, and pattern complexity affects cutting and waste.

Typical Price Ranges

Small bedroom, feature wall, no lining (Heaton Victorian terrace): £180–£280.

Medium reception room with lining and feature wall (Jesmond Edwardian): £450–£750.

Large period reception with high ceilings, cornicing, full coverage (Gosforth): £600–£1,000.

Example Project

Lining and wallpapering a bay-fronted Jesmond reception room with one feature wall in a quality wallpaper, including cross-lining the bay recess: £450–£750.
