Frequently asked questions

How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?

Measure wall width and height, then let the installer confirm — pattern repeat is the trap. A large repeat can add 15-25% waste, and you should order all rolls from one batch number to avoid shade differences. Always order one spare roll for future repairs.

Can wallpaper go in bathrooms or kitchens?

Yes, with the right product — vinyl and washable papers handle humidity, and some installers seal edges with clear varnish in splash zones. Avoid delicate uncoated papers near cookers and showers. Good extraction/ventilation matters more than the paper choice.

How long does wallpapering a room take?

A single feature wall is usually half a day; a full average room takes 1-2 days including prep. Add time for stripping old paper (half to a full day per room), wall repairs, and drying between prep coats.

How much does wallpaper installation cost?

Installers price per roll, per square metre, or per day. Labour usually lands between half and the full cost of the paper itself — and premium papers (grasscloth, murals, wide-width vinyls) cost more to hang because mistakes are expensive. Removal of old paper is always quoted separately.

Can you wallpaper over old wallpaper or painted walls?

Painted walls, yes, after cleaning and priming. Papering over old wallpaper is a false economy — trapped seams telegraph through and moisture can lift both layers. Strip first; installers quote removal as a separate line.

What does wallpapering cost in Ireland?

Expect €40-70 per roll hung or €200-300 per day. A feature wall typically runs €200-400; a full room €500-900 plus paper. Stripping old layers in period homes is often the bigger, less predictable cost.
