Wallpaper is back in fashion, and people in Keremeos are using it in places paint cannot reach: a bold feature wall behind a bed, a patterned entry, a dining room with texture. We hang it, and we start with the wall, not the roll.

Paper shows every bump underneath it. A dent in the drywall or a rough patch of old paint will show through, so surface preparation takes more time than the hanging itself.

Wallpaper work we take on

Feature walls and accent panels in bedrooms and living rooms
Full rooms with patterns that need careful matching
Powder rooms, where small spaces make a strong pattern pop
Grasscloth and textured papers that need gentle handling
Peel-and-stick products on suitable smooth walls
Paint on the trim and ceiling next to the paper, so edges stay clean

Choosing paper for your space

In a Keremeos kitchen or bathroom, steam is the enemy of a wrong paper choice. Vinyl-coated papers handle humidity better than uncoated ones, so we ask where the paper is going before you order.

Always buy a little extra. Pattern repeats waste more paper than you expect, and a dye lot that runs out halfway across a wall cannot be matched later. We help you calculate rolls from the wall measurements.

Lighting changes how paper looks. A pattern that seems soft in the shop can read strong on a wall that catches afternoon sun, so we suggest taping up a full sheet for a day or two before you order the rest. We also check outlets, switch plates and light fixtures: they need to come off and go back on neatly, and paper should tuck behind them. If a wall has a window or door, we plan the first seam so the pattern lands evenly on both sides, and we explain that plan before cutting the first strip.

How we hang it

Check and measure. We measure the wall, check for flaws, and work out roll counts and where the pattern should start.
Prep and size. Walls are patched, sanded, primed and sized so paste sticks evenly and the paper can be removed one day.
Cut and hang. Strips are cut with extra length, pasted or applied dry as the product requires, and matched along the seams.
Trim and tidy. Excess is cut away, seams are rolled flat, and we wipe the surface clean of paste.

The full process, prep and pricing factors are on our main wallpaper hanging page.

Wallpaper Hanging in Keremeos: questions

Can wallpaper go over existing paint?

Usually, if the paint is sound and smooth. Glossy surfaces need a primer first so the paste can grip.

How do I measure for rolls?

Give us width, height and the pattern repeat from the sample. We do the maths and tell you how many rolls to order, with some spare.

Will it be hard to take down later?

Properly primed walls make future removal much easier. That is one reason we size the wall before hanging.
