Wallpapering in Adelaide

Hanging wallpaper looks simple until the pattern drifts at the third drop, a seam lifts by the window, or a bubble appears the next morning. That’s why many homeowners hand the job to a professional wallpaper installer. Apex Painters takes care of wallpapering in Adelaide homes, from a single feature wall behind a bed to a full dining room. We’re based in Seaford, and because we’re painters first, we already know how a wall behaves under a finish.

The wall matters as much as the paper. Before any wallpaper installation in Adelaide, we check the surface, fill dents and cracks, sand it smooth and seal it with the right primer, so the wallpaper adhesive grips evenly and the paper can be removed cleanly in future. If old wallpaper is already up, we strip it and clear the leftover glue first. Then we set a plumb starting line, so patterns stay straight even when the walls and ceilings aren’t. We handle paste-the-wall and traditional pasted papers, and we match large repeats and murals so the design reads as one picture instead of strips.

Wallpaper decor can lift a room more than most furniture. A textured grasscloth adds warmth to a living room, a bold botanical print can anchor a hallway, and a soft pattern suits a nursery. If you can’t find the right design, we can install customised wall paper printed to your size. Older homes in Burnside and Hyde Park often have uneven plaster, which is where careful prep and an experienced hand make the difference. Bathrooms and laundries need extra care because of steam, so tell us early and we’ll recommend a suitable paper.

How much does wallpaper installation cost in Adelaide?

It depends on the wall area, the wallpaper type, pattern repeat, wall condition and whether old paper needs removing. Large repeats and textured papers take longer to hang. Send us your measurements or a few photos, and Apex Painters will give you a free written quote.

Can you remove my old wallpaper first?

Yes. We strip the old paper, remove leftover adhesive, repair any damage to the plaster and seal the wall before hanging the new paper. Skipping this step is a common reason new wallpaper bubbles or peels.

Can wallpaper go in a bathroom, kitchen or laundry?

Sometimes, with the right paper. Vinyl and moisture-resistant papers handle steam better than standard paper, and the room needs good ventilation. We’ll tell you honestly if a particular room or wallpaper isn’t a good match.

Do I need to buy the wallpaper myself, and how much should I order?

You can supply your own wallpaper, and we’re happy to install it. Order from the same batch number and add roughly 10 to 15 percent extra to allow for pattern matching and trimming. We can confirm the quantity once we’ve seen the wall.
