Fort Collins is Colorado’s fourth-largest city — a university town, a craft beer destination, and a growing residential market that spans everything from Old Town’s historic Victorian and craftsman homes to the contemporary developments along the Harmony Corridor and Timnath. Colorado State University anchors the city’s character, and the design sensibility here reflects that mix: educated, environmentally conscious, and increasingly design-forward as the city’s population and income levels have risen over the past decade.
In spring 2025, we completed a grasscloth installation in a Fort Collins home office — warm neutral linen texture applied to the full walls of a working space between two windows, creating a refined backdrop that photographs well on video calls and adds warmth without distraction. The grasscloth was chosen specifically for its natural character and acoustic softness, both relevant in a space used for focused work.
Fort Collins homeowners and designers consistently seek out a certified Colorado wallpaper installer who understands both the historic construction of Old Town properties and the newer building standards of the Harmony and Fossil Creek corridors — and can deliver natural fiber and designer wallcoverings to the quality standard the market expects.

The natural fiber material adds warmth and subtle acoustic softness to the working space while creating a refined, professional backdrop.

Wallpaper installation in Fort Collins typically ranges from $2 to $8 per square foot for labor, depending on the wallpaper type, wall condition, and project complexity.
For a standard room with smooth drywall and non-woven wallpaper, most Fort Collins homeowners budget between $400 and $900 for installation labor. Old Town properties with original plaster walls and craftsman-era architectural details frequently run toward the higher end — surface prep requirements and fitting around period millwork add time and cost compared to newer construction.
Key factors that affect pricing in Fort Collins specifically:
Wall condition. Fort Collins has a wide range of wall conditions depending on the neighborhood. Old Town’s Victorian and craftsman homes often have original plaster or multiple paint layers requiring skim coating before installation. Newer construction in the Harmony Corridor uses builder-grade drywall that needs a proper barrier primer. Both require prep — the type differs. Prep work is quoted separately from installation labor.
Wallpaper type. Standard vinyl and non-woven papers are the most straightforward to install. Grasscloth and natural fiber wallcoverings — popular in Fort Collins’ home office and dining room market — require additional care in seam planning and adhesive application. Designer wallcoverings from brands like Thibaut, York, or Serena & Lily follow the same principle.
Room complexity. Old Town homes frequently feature built-ins, window seats, decorative moldings, and non-standard room proportions that add time compared to a straightforward rectangular room in a newer development.
At Enjoy The Wall, we provide transparent, upfront quotes after reviewing your wall conditions and wallpaper specifications in person. Contact us for a free consultation and estimate for your Fort Collins home.
Yes — wallpaper removal is part of our standard workflow, and it’s a common starting point in Fort Collins’ older housing stock, particularly in Old Town where Victorian and craftsman properties frequently have wallpaper dating back decades.
Assessment first. Before removal begins, we evaluate the wall substrate and adhesive type. In Old Town’s older properties, wallpaper was often applied directly to original plaster or over unprimed drywall — each requiring a different removal approach to avoid damaging the surface underneath.
Dry vs. wet removal. Depending on the wallpaper type and how it was originally applied, we use dry stripping, steam, or enzyme-based solutions. For Fort Collins properties with plaster walls, we approach removal conservatively — too much moisture can soften structurally sound plaster and create significant repair work.
Wall repair and prep. After removal, we skim coat damaged areas, sand, and apply barrier primer before any new wallpaper goes up. At Enjoy The Wall, this sequence is non-negotiable — an unsealed post-removal surface causes uneven adhesive absorption and seam failure regardless of wallpaper quality.
All removal and prep work is assessed in person and quoted upfront. Contact us to schedule a site visit for your Fort Collins property.
Yes — and Fort Collins has a growing design community that we work with regularly. The city’s mix of Old Town renovation projects, CSU-adjacent investment properties, and contemporary Harmony Corridor builds creates consistent demand for installer-designer partnerships across multiple project types.
What we bring to the partnership:
Material expertise across project types. Kris A. is a member of the Wallcovering Installers Association (WIA) and the Interior Design Society (IDS). Whether the project calls for grasscloth in a home office, a designer botanical in an Old Town dining room, or commercial-grade vinyl in a Fort Collins hospitality space, we handle the installation with the technique each material requires.
Northern Front Range availability. Fort Collins is roughly 65 miles from Denver, and we schedule Northern Front Range projects regularly. For designers managing projects across Larimer and Weld Counties, having a reliable installer who can coordinate across that geography without logistical friction matters.
Clear trade communication. We document wall conditions before work begins, provide written upfront quotes, and communicate proactively throughout. For designers managing multiple Fort Collins projects simultaneously, that reliability is what makes the working relationship consistent across engagements.

Fort Collins’ architectural range — Old Town Victorians, mid-century properties near CSU, and contemporary new construction in Harmony and Timnath — means no single answer covers the whole market. That said, a few categories consistently perform well here.
For Old Town and historic properties: traditional patterns — florals, damasks, botanical prints, and grasscloth — complement the architectural character of craftsman and Victorian homes without competing with original woodwork and period details. Brands like Thibaut, Farrow & Ball, and York offer options that read historically grounded without being overly literal. Full-room installations in dining rooms and primary bedrooms work particularly well in Old Town’s defined room proportions.
For newer construction in Harmony and Timnath: contemporary non-wovens in large-scale botanical prints, geometric designs, and textured neutrals complement the open floor plans and modern finishes common in these developments. Accent walls in dining areas and primary bedrooms are the most common starting point for homeowners in these neighborhoods.
For home offices: grasscloth and natural fiber wallcoverings add warmth, texture, and subtle acoustic softness to working spaces without the visual noise of a patterned wallpaper. Fort Collins’ significant work-from-home population makes this one of our most consistent home office installation markets across the Northern Front Range.
In Kris A.’s experience, the most important variable for Fort Collins clients is ceiling height — Old Town’s taller ceilings suit large-repeat patterns, while the 9-foot standards in newer Harmony builds work best with medium-scale designs.
Yes — and Fort Collins’ growing downtown and midtown commercial districts, combined with the hospitality and retail activity around Old Town, create consistent demand for commercial-grade wallcovering installation.
What commercial installation in Fort Collins involves:
Durability-first material selection. High-traffic commercial spaces require wallcoverings designed for cleaning and daily wear. At Enjoy The Wall, we typically recommend Type II commercial-grade vinyl or heavy non-woven wallcoverings for lobbies, corridors, and dining areas — materials that hold up through regular cleaning and guest contact without marking or lifting.
Scheduling around business operations. We coordinate commercial installations during off-hours or low-traffic windows to minimize disruption. For Fort Collins’ retail and hospitality spaces, installation during early morning or closed periods is standard practice.
CSU and university-adjacent properties. Fort Collins’ student rental and CSU-adjacent commercial market presents specific opportunities for durable, visually distinctive wallcovering installations that hold up under higher-turnover conditions. We help property owners select materials that balance visual impact with operational practicality.
