Making a Statement in Small Spaces
You might think wallpapering an entire room is only for large lounge areas, but some of the most stunning transformations happen in smaller nooks.
A powder room wallpaper project is one of our favourites. Because it’s a small, enclosed space, you can go bold with dark colours or intricate patterns without it feeling “too much.” It’s like a little jewellery box for your home.
Wrapping your workspace in a calming pattern can boost focus and make those Zoom calls look much more professional.

Understanding Wallpaper Installation Cost
When you look at wallpaper installation cost, it’s important to consider the value of your materials. Designer rolls are an investment, and the last thing you want is a visible gap at a corner or a pattern that “walks” as it goes around the room.
The material
Delicate papers like silk or grasscloth take more time to hang.
Room complexity
A simple square room is quicker than one with many windows, built-in shelving, or ornate cornices.
Wall condition
If your walls need a bit of love (sanding or patching) before we start, we’ll factor that in.
The Luxury of Texture: Grass Cloth
If you aren’t a fan of busy patterns but want your room to feel high-end, grasscloth wallpaper is the gold standard. Made from natural hand-woven fibres, it adds a beautiful, organic texture and subtle horizontal lines to your walls.
Because grasscloth is a natural product, it has unique “shading” and visible seams that give a room a sophisticated, handcrafted look. It’s a tricky material to work with, which is why it’s always best handled by a professional wallpaper installer who knows how to manage the delicate fibres and specific adhesives required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily! While dark, heavy patterns can make a room feel more "closed in" (which is great for a cosy cinema room), light colours or subtle grasscloth wallpaper can actually make a room feel larger by adding depth.
While the area is smaller, powder rooms are often more "fiddly" due to toilets and sinks. The wallpaper installation cost usually reflects the time needed for this detailed trimming rather than just the size of the room.
This is where a professional wallpaper installer is essential. We don't just "wrap" the paper around corners. Instead, we carefully cut and overlap at the corner to ensure the pattern stays straight and the paper stays stuck.
We don't recommend it. For a long-lasting finish, we always suggest stripping the old paper and prepping the wall properly. This ensures the new glue bonds perfectly to the surface.
The price varies depending on the type of wallpaper and type of room size. We always provide a fixed, transparent quote after a quick site visit, so there are no surprises.
Grass cloth is beautiful, but shouldn't be used in high-moisture areas like bathrooms with showers. It’s perfect for dining rooms, lounges, and master bedrooms.
Depending on the size of the room, most whole-room wallpaper installation projects take between 2 and 3 days. This includes the prep, priming, and the actual hanging.
No need! Our team is trained to trim the paper perfectly against your existing trim for a neat, "built-in" look.
