Wallpaper Hanging: Factors Affecting Installation Quality in the Denver Metro Area

Updated June 2025

Wallpaper hanging is more than just decoration — it’s craftsmanship. In homes and businesses across the Denver metro area, the quality of wallpaper installation directly impacts the visual harmony and longevity of a space. This guide outlines the key elements that ensure a flawless finish when hanging wallpaper.

🧱 Surface Preparation

A smooth surface is the foundation of a successful installation. We:

  • Remove debris, nails, and dust

  • Fill dents and imperfections

  • Prime the surface to improve adhesion

Even the best wallpaper won’t hide flaws on an unprepared wall. In the dry climate of Colorado, proper wall conditioning is essential.

📏 Alignment and Accuracy

Wallpaper with patterns, stripes, or murals must be precisely aligned. Our installers:

  • Use lasers or plumb lines for vertical accuracy

  • Match patterns at seams

  • Ensure the first strip is perfectly straight

This prevents visual shifts that can throw off the entire wall.

📐 Corner Straightness

Corners make or break a clean installation. Crooked corners distort the flow of wallpaper. Our pros:

  • Measure walls for squareness

  • Use corner smoothing tools

  • Adjust strip positions for balance

Sharp corners = professional look.

🔍 Seam Visibility

Some seam visibility is inevitable, especially with thick textures or dark lighting. But we minimize it by:

  • Using sharp blades for clean cuts

  • Double-cutting where needed

  • Aligning patterns with precision

🎨 Material Selection

Not all wallpapers behave the same. We help select based on:

  • Room function (bathroom, dining, office)

  • Wall texture (smooth vs. textured)

  • Wallpaper type (non-woven, vinyl, fabric)

❓ FAQ

Can I hang wallpaper over textured walls?

It depends on the texture — we often smooth the surface first. Vinyl wallpapers work better on light textures.

 

No, but a good installer can make them nearly invisible, especially with non-woven wallpapers.

Most standard rooms take one day, but it varies based on prep work and pattern complexity.
