- Leave all areas clean and tidy on completion
Before
The hall, stairs and landing had been decorated with a dark damask wallpaper that had seen better days. Stripping it back revealed the full extent of the preparation work needed before any new paper could be applied.
Preparation
Once stripped, all surfaces were filled, and sanded. The walls were then cross-lined with 1400 grade lining paper — hung horizontally to bridge any imperfections and provide a stable, smooth base for the top paper. This is an essential step when hanging a bold geometric design, as any unevenness in the wall would show through the pattern.
Finished
The finished result speaks for itself. The bold geometric design brings warmth and character to the space, with the pattern carefully matched at every seam and corner. The wallpaper works beautifully alongside the white balustrade, black doors and oak flooring — giving the whole hall, stairs and landing a confident, contemporary feel.
