What to expect
Preparation
Site visit and measurements: Installer measures walls, windows, doors, corners, and any obstacles (switches, outlets, radiators) to determine wallpaper quantity and pattern repeat. Expect a seam allowance and extra wallpaper for matching patterns and mistakes.
Surface assessment: Walls must be clean, dry, smooth, and structurally sound. Expect checks for peeling paint, loose plaster, mold, or damp; these issues will need repair before installation.
Furniture and floor protection: Furniture is moved or centered and covered; floors and remaining furniture are protected with drop cloths. Trim and fixtures may be removed (switch plates, outlet covers, curtain rods).
Priming/sealing: Installer may apply a primer or sizing to raw or highly absorbent surfaces to ensure proper adhesion and easier repositioning during hanging.
Common challenges and what installers handle
Pattern matching: larger repeats increase waste and time; installers plan layout to minimize visible mismatches.
Imperfect walls: bumps, texture, and unevenness can telegraph through wallpaper, particularly thin papers; installers recommend skim-coating or smoothing rough surfaces first.
Door and window reveals, radiators, and fixtures: these require cutting and careful fitting; some installers remove radiators or trim for a cleaner result.
Adhesion issues: improper primer, old paint, smoke residues, or residues can impede adhesion; professionals identify and remediate these conditions.
Seams lifting or bubbling: usually due to low paste coverage, poor wall prep, or humidity; installers can re-seam and re-glue problematic areas.
Maintenance and care after installation
Keep the room ventilated and dry for 24 hours.
Avoid heavy steam and direct water; wipe spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth.
For vinyl and washable papers: use mild soap and soft cloths; avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals.
Repairing damage: small tears can be patched, but visible pattern repeats may make patches noticeable;
