Lamar sits in the southeastern corner of Colorado — the seat of Prowers County, anchored by the Arkansas River and surrounded by the wide agricultural plains of the High Plains region. It’s a genuinely small city in the classic sense: a compact historic downtown, established residential neighborhoods with housing stock that dates to the early and mid twentieth century, and a surrounding community of ranches, farms, and small towns that define southeastern Colorado’s character. The homes here are largely older — original plaster walls, previous wallpaper layers from successive decades of decoration, and surfaces that carry the accumulated decisions of multiple owners over generations. Getting a new wallcovering installation to perform reliably in this kind of housing stock requires proper assessment and preparation, not a quick prime-and-hang approach.
In a recent project in the Lamar area, we completed a full powder room wallpaper installation — a vibrant Otomi-style non-woven wallcovering in a cream ground with an all-over folk art pattern of birds, botanical elements, and flowers in red, green, blue, yellow, and orange, installed across all wall surfaces including the corner walls and the wall interrupted by a window. Otomi-style allover patterns present a specific alignment challenge: unlike geometric wallpapers with clearly defined repeat grids, allover folk art patterns require careful compositional matching in corners so that the visual density and motif distribution reads consistently across the entire space from every angle. A small space with a window interruption adds additional cutting complexity to an already demanding installation.
For Lamar homeowners and property owners throughout Prowers County, working with a certified wallpaper installer serving Colorado who understands southeastern Colorado’s older housing stock, the substrate preparation that historic homes require, and the full range of residential wallcovering work from simple accent walls to full-room powder room installations is what delivers a result that lasts rather than one that starts lifting at the seams within the first year.
Refresh your home or workspace in Lamar with our expert wallpaper installation services. Whether you’re looking to create a cozy accent wall, update a commercial space, or bring a bold design idea to life — we deliver clean, precise, and lasting results.
We serve homeowners, landlords, and designers with a reliable, mess-free approach that makes transforming your space simple and stress-free.
Lamar‘s housing stock — primarily older residential properties in the historic downtown neighborhoods, rental properties near Willow Creek Park, and a mix of mid-century homes throughout Prowers County — presents installation conditions that require genuine surface assessment before any wallcovering can be applied. Older homes in Lamar frequently have original plaster walls, previous wallpaper installations, or surfaces that have been painted and modified over decades without being returned to a clean, stable substrate. We assess every surface before we touch a panel.

Here’s one of our recent wallpaper installations completed in the Lamar area — a full powder room wallcovering in a vibrant Otomi-style non-woven wallpaper, featuring an all-over folk art pattern of birds, botanical elements, and stylized flowers in red, green, blue, yellow, and orange on a cream ground, installed across all wall surfaces including the corner walls and the wall interrupted by a window. Otomi-style allover patterns require careful compositional matching in corners — the visual density and motif distribution must read consistently across the entire space from every angle, without any single element being awkwardly cut or the pattern density dropping noticeably at any seam. A window interruption on one wall added additional cutting precision to an already demanding full-room installation. See more of our work in the full project gallery.

Wallpaper installation in Lamar typically ranges from $2 to $8 per square foot for labor, depending on the wallpaper type, wall condition, and project complexity.
For a standard bedroom with smooth drywall and non-woven wallpaper, most Lamar homeowners budget between $400 and $900 for installation labor. Full-room powder room installations, allover pattern wallpapers, historic homes with plaster walls or previous wallpaper, and projects requiring significant surface preparation will fall toward the higher end of that range.
Key factors that affect pricing in Lamar specifically:
Wall condition. Lamar’s housing stock is predominantly older — properties in the historic downtown neighborhoods and throughout Prowers County frequently have original plaster walls, previous wallpaper installations applied directly to unprimed surfaces, or drywall that has been painted and modified over decades without being returned to a clean substrate. Assessing and preparing these surfaces is essential for a lasting result and is quoted separately from installation labor.
Pattern type. Allover folk art patterns — like Otomi-style wallpapers with scattered motifs, birds, and botanical elements — present alignment challenges that differ from geometric wallpapers with clearly defined repeat grids. In a full-room installation, the pattern must read compositionally consistent across every corner and around every architectural interruption. This requires more careful planning and installation time than a simple vertical repeat, which is reflected in the labor rate.
Room complexity. Full-room installations — where wallpaper covers all four walls and must match correctly in every corner — take significantly more time than single accent wall projects. Windows, doors, and other architectural interruptions add cutting complexity that is assessed and reflected clearly in the written quote.
Project scope. For rental property owners and investment property managers in Lamar, the scope of wallpaper work often differs from primary residence projects — focusing on durable, cost-effective materials and efficient installation rather than high-end designer wallcoverings. We work with both property types and price accordingly, providing transparent quotes that reflect the specific requirements of each project.

Kris A., member of WIA and IDS, works regularly with the substrate conditions that southeastern Colorado’s older housing stock presents — and proper preparation is always the foundation of a successful installation, regardless of how far the project is from Denver.
Plaster walls in Lamar’s historic homes. Original plaster walls are common throughout Lamar’s older downtown neighborhoods and the surrounding Prowers County residential stock. Well-maintained plaster that is stable, fully adhered, and free of active cracking can be an excellent substrate for wallpaper when properly primed — it is often denser and more dimensionally stable than modern drywall. The critical assessment points are surface integrity and porosity. Areas of soft or hollow plaster, active cracking, or delamination from the lath must be addressed before any wallcovering is applied. We assess plaster conditions during the in-person estimate and identify all required preparation before the project is quoted.
Existing wallpaper removal. Lamar’s older homes frequently contain wallpaper that has been in place for decades — sometimes applied directly to unprimed drywall or over deteriorating plaster, which complicates removal significantly. The standard recommendation is complete removal of all existing wallpaper before installing new wallcovering. Scoring, appropriate removal solution, adequate dwell time, and patient stripping are the process — rushing removal damages the substrate and creates additional repair work. After stripping, we clean adhesive residue, allow the surface to dry fully, and assess the exposed substrate before determining what preparation is required for the new installation.
When papering over existing wallpaper might be considered. In limited circumstances — where the existing wallpaper is a single layer, perfectly bonded, completely flat, and applied to a sound substrate — applying new wallpaper over the existing layer can be discussed. This approach carries risk and is not our standard recommendation. We evaluate each situation individually and provide an honest assessment of the risks and the preparation required to make it viable, if at all.
In Kris A.’s experience, the strongest wallpaper choices for Lamar and Prowers County properties account for both the practical conditions of the housing stock and the homeowner’s design goals.
For historic homes and primary residences:
Lamar’s older homes — with their defined room proportions, original woodwork, and architectural character — pair well with pattern-forward wallpapers that complement rather than compete with existing features. Allover botanical prints, folk art patterns, classic geometric repeats, and textured non-wovens all work well in these spaces. Warm earth tones, cream grounds with colorful accents, and deeper jewel-toned palettes tend to anchor southeastern Colorado interiors effectively and hold up visually in the natural light conditions of the High Plains.
For rental properties and investment properties:
Durability and ease of maintenance are the primary criteria for rental property wallpaper applications in Lamar. Non-woven wallpapers with commercial-grade adhesives offer the best combination of design impact, cleanability, and long-term adhesion for properties that experience regular turnover. For rental property accent walls, warm neutral palettes in geometric or subtle organic patterns offer broad appeal while still providing a meaningful upgrade over standard painted walls.
For powder rooms and high-impact small spaces:
Powder rooms and small bathrooms are consistently the highest-return wallpaper applications in any Colorado home — a single well-chosen wallpaper transforms the perceived quality of the entire interior. Bold, maximalist choices — large-scale botanicals, allover folk art patterns, deep-toned non-wovens — work exceptionally well in compact spaces where the wallpaper becomes the primary design statement. We’re happy to review your selections before purchase and advise on what will perform best in your specific space.
At Enjoy The Wall, rental property and investment property installations in rural and small-city Colorado markets are a regular part of what we do — and these projects have specific requirements that differ from primary residence work.
Material selection for rental properties. Rental properties in Lamar experience more variable occupancy and maintenance conditions than primary residences. Non-woven wallpapers with commercial-grade adhesives are the most practical choice for rental property wallpaper applications — they are more durable than paper-backed alternatives, easier to clean between tenants, and hold up significantly better under the conditions of a property that may sit unoccupied between tenants or experience heavy use during occupancy.
Scope and cost-effectiveness. For rental property owners, wallpaper installations typically focus on high-impact, cost-effective applications rather than full-room designer wallcovering projects. Accent wall installations in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms — using durable non-woven wallpapers in warm neutral or modest pattern palettes — offer a meaningful visual upgrade that increases rental appeal without requiring the full investment of a primary residence renovation.
Scheduling around tenant occupancy. Rental property wallpaper installations require coordination around tenant schedules, lease terms, and property vacancy windows. We work with property owners and property managers to schedule installations during turnover periods or at times that minimize disruption to active tenancies. Contact us to discuss your specific rental property project in Lamar or anywhere in Prowers County.
Enjoy The Wall and its team serve clients throughout Colorado — including communities in southeastern Colorado like Lamar, La Junta, Las Animas, and the broader Prowers and Bent County corridor.
How we handle remote Colorado projects. For projects in communities like Lamar that are located a significant distance from the Denver metro area, we plan installations to maximize efficiency — typically scheduling larger projects or combining multiple properties in the area into a single trip where possible. All relevant logistics are discussed transparently during the estimate process and included in the written quote before any work is scheduled.
What to expect for a Lamar installation. The consultation and estimate process for a Lamar project begins with a conversation by phone or video call to discuss your project scope, wall conditions, and wallpaper selections. For projects that warrant an in-person estimate, we schedule that visit as part of the overall project planning. Written quotes include all relevant costs before any work begins — there are no surprises after the fact.
Planning ahead for southeastern Colorado projects. Because Lamar is one of the more remote communities we serve, advance planning is particularly valuable — both for scheduling and for ensuring that materials are ordered, received, and confirmed before the installation date. We recommend reaching out as early in your project timeline as possible so we can plan effectively. Contact us to start the conversation about your Lamar wallpaper project.
