Transform Your Home with Wallpaper

Ever walked into a room and thought, "This place needs something different"? Last autumn, a family in Riccarton called us. They were tired of plain painted walls and wanted something more exciting but weren't sure if they should paint or try wallpaper. That's a question we hear a lot! When you search for interior painting Christchurch, you want a team that can do both—and that's exactly what we offer.


Whether you're going for a fresh coat of paint or a stunning wallpaper feature, our skilled team can help you achieve the look you want. We've been transforming Christchurch homes for years, and we love helping homeowners make their spaces beautiful.

Wallpaper Installation

One of the most exciting services we offer is wallpaper installation. Wallpaper has made a huge comeback in recent years, and for good reason! It can add texture, pattern, and personality to your space in ways that paint alone can't achieve.

Why Choose Wallpaper?

  • Unique Designs: With wallpaper, you can create looks that are impossible with paint. From bold geometric patterns to subtle textures, the options are endless.
  • Durability: Quality wallpaper can last 10-15 years or more, making it a smart investment for high-traffic areas.
  • Hide Imperfections: Wallpaper can actually hide minor wall imperfections better than paint can. We see this a lot in houses built in the 1970's where the level of plastering finish is level 2 at best.
  • Easy to Clean: Modern wallpapers are often washable, making them perfect for kid's rooms or dining areas.

Our Wallpaper Installation Process

When you choose us for wallpaper installation, we make the process smooth and stress-free:

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Consultation: We start by discussing your vision. What style are you after? What room are you decorating? We can show you samples and help you choose the perfect wallpaper for your space.
  2. Wall Preparation: This is where our painting expertise really helps! We prepare your walls by cleaning them, repairing any damage, and making sure they're smooth. We apply a coat of Shieldz® Universal Wallcovering Primer, followed by Shur-Stik Size.  Proper prep work is key to getting wallpaper to stick properly and look great.
  3. Measuring and Cutting: We carefully measure your walls and cut the wallpaper to size. We account for pattern matching so everything lines up perfectly.
  4. Application: We apply the wallpaper using professional techniques. We make sure there's no bubbles, wrinkles, or gaps. We pay special attention to corners, edges, and around fixtures like light switches and outlets.
  5. Finishing Touches: Once the wallpaper is up, we trim any excess, clean up any paste, and make sure everything looks perfect.
  6. Clean-Up: We remove all packaging and materials, leaving your space clean and ready to enjoy.
  7. Final Walk-Through: We’ll do a final walk-through with you to make sure you’re happy with the results.

Local Community Connection

We believe in supporting our local community. That’s why we source our materials from local suppliers whenever possible. By choosing us, you're not just getting a service; you're also supporting local businesses.

Why Local Knowledge Matters


Christchurch has unique challenges. Our homes range from historic villas to brand new builds. Our climate can be damp, which affects both paint and wallpaper. We understand these local issues because we live here too. We've worked on homes in Cashmere, Sydenham, Linwood, Papanui, Shirley, and all across the city.

Seasonal Tips for Your Interior Painting

  • Best Time for Wallpaper: Spring and summer are ideal because lower humidity helps wallpaper paste dry properly. But we work year-round and adjust our methods for the season.
  • Heating Matters: In winter, keep your home warm while wallpaper is drying. This helps it adhere properly.
  • Ventilation: After painting or wallpapering, proper ventilation helps everything cure correctly.

Wallpaper vs. Paint: Which is Right for You?

This is a question we get asked all the time! Here's our honest advice:

Choose Wallpaper If:

  • You want a bold pattern or specific design
  • You're decorating a feature wall
  • You want something that will last a long time
  • You like the texture and depth wallpaper provides

Choose Paint If:

  • You prefer solid colours
  • Your budget is tighter (paint is usually less expensive)
  • You like changing colours frequently
  • Your painting large areas

Why Not Both?

Many of our Christchurch clients do a combination! They might wallpaper one feature wall and paint the other walls in a complementary colour. This creates visual interest without overwhelming the space.


Common Wallpaper Questions

1

Is wallpaper hard to remove later?

Modern wallpapers are much easier to remove than old-fashioned ones. Many peel off easily, and we can help with removal if you decide to change it later.

2

Can you wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

Sometimes, but usually it's better to remove the old wallpaper first. We'll assess your situation and give you honest advice.

3

How long does wallpaper installation take?

It depends on the size of the room and the complexity of the pattern. A typical bedroom feature wall might take half a day, while a full living room could take 1-2 days.
