How much does it cost to wallpaper a 12x12 room?

Allow $1,750 to $2,000 for installation labor, plus the wallpaper. That estimate assumes 8-foot ceilings and roughly 350 to 400 square feet of wall space after allowing for doors and windows. The pattern, ceiling height and surface condition affect the final quote.

Why is professional wallpaper installation worth the cost?

The price covers more than hanging the paper. Our wallpaper installers repair and prime the surface before measuring each cut and applying adhesive. This process helps prevent lifting edges and mismatched seams.

Is wallpaper better than paint for Buckhead homes?

Choose wallpaper when you want texture or a pattern; choose paint when you want to change colors more easily. You can also use both: paper on an accent wall and paint on the remaining walls. We can handle both and talk through the options at your walkthrough.

Can you remove existing wallpaper before installing new paper?

Yes. We strip the old paper, remove the adhesive, repair the surface and apply primer so it is ready for new wallpaper. Removal and wall repair cost $2.75 per square foot and appear separately in your estimate. We do not hang paper over existing wallpaper.

What types of wallpaper do you install?

We install residential wallpaper, including grasscloth, silk, printed papers, vinyl and peel-and-stick, as well as commercial wallcoverings. Vinyl resists moisture and cleans easily, making it an option for kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Peel-and-stick can suit accent walls or rental homes, but it still needs a smooth, primed base. Grasscloth and silk need extra care during cutting and application. At your walkthrough, we discuss your chosen wallcovering and the preparation it needs.

How long does wallpaper installation take, and can I stay home?

Most single rooms take one to two days. Significant wall preparation can extend that to two to three days. You can stay home while we work. Floors and furniture are protected, and we clean up daily so the rest of your home stays usable.

What if I am not happy with the installation?

You walk the room with your installer before sign-off. We correct anything that needs attention and give you your 5 to 10-year written warranty. If a seam lifts or an edge fails afterward, call us. We return to make it right at no additional charge.

Do older Buckhead homes need extra wall prep before wallpaper goes up?

Yes. Most pre-1960 homes in Garden Hills and Peachtree Hills have original plaster with hairline cracks and uneven surfaces. We skim coat these walls with joint compound and apply wallpaper primer before hanging. This ensures the adhesive bonds evenly and your pattern lies flat without telegraphing imperfections underneath. Skipping this step is what causes bubbling within months.

Can you install grasscloth wallpaper in a Buckhead home with high humidity?

We can, but room selection matters. Grasscloth is a natural fiber that expands when moisture is high. We avoid installing it in full bathrooms without ventilation and recommend powder rooms or dining rooms instead. We use clay-based adhesive specifically formulated for natural wallcoverings to prevent seam separation in Atlanta's humid climate. Your grasscloth will look beautiful for years when it is installed in the right space.

How do you wallpaper a two-story Buckhead foyer without horizontal seams?

We set up professional scaffolding rated for the ceiling height and use continuous drops cut to the full wall length. Two installers work at the same time, one positioning from the scaffold platform and one smoothing from below, to prevent paste from drying before the panel is fully set. This method eliminates horizontal seams that would be visible in your open foyer.
