Feature Walls
A feature wall in a Victorian or Edwardian reception room is one of the most rewarding decorating projects. Feature walls in The Park and Mapperley Park properties are typically tall.
We work with all paper types including heavy embossed papers and luxury vinyl-backed designs. For options combining wallpaper with painted walls, see our interior painting page.
Full Room Wallpapering
Papering all four walls requires consistent pattern matching, clean internal corners, and precise trimming at skirtings and architraves.
Reception rooms in Sherwood and Mapperley Park often have tall walls with picture rails, dado rails, and chimney breast alcoves.
Lining Paper
Standard lining paper applied without proper preparation will show every imperfection through a wallpaper finish. This is especially true on original plaster walls.
We assess the wall condition before recommending a lining approach. Where walls are significantly uneven, we may recommend horizontal or double lining.
Period Properties and High Ceilings
Victorian and Edwardian properties in The Park and Mapperley Park present specific challenges. Original plaster walls may have slight movement and undulation. Ceiling heights above 3 metres mean longer drops.
Wallpaper Removal
Stripping old wallpaper is the part of the process most often done poorly. Rushing this stage leaves adhesive residue that shows through new paper.
We soak thoroughly, strip cleanly, and wash down the wall to remove all adhesive residue.
Here’s How It Works
1. Assessment
We visit before quoting and assess the wall condition, ceiling height, and paper specification.
2. Wall Preparation
Old paper is stripped, adhesive residue is removed, and the wall is washed and allowed to dry. Lining paper is applied where required.
3. Sizing
We apply a diluted size coat to the wall. This reduces suction and allows the paper to be positioned and adjusted.
4. Cutting and Matching
Drops are measured and cut with pattern match checked before each drop is pasted.
5. Hanging and Trimming
Paper is applied, smoothed, and trimmed at skirtings, architraves, and ceiling line. Joints are rolled to a flat finish.
6. Final Check
We inspect the completed work in natural light and raking light. Any lifting edges or visible seams are addressed.

Wallpapering Costs in Nottingham
Prices below are estimates only. Every room and every paper is different. Call 0115 647 7772 for a precise quote.
Room Size and Ceiling Height
A feature wall in a Victorian sitting room with a 3-metre ceiling requires more work per drop than a standard-height modern room.
Paper Type and Pattern Repeat
Large pattern repeats generate significant waste from matching. Heavy embossed papers are more demanding to hang.
Wall Condition
Original plaster in The Park and Mapperley Park may need significant preparation before hanging. Double lining adds preparation time.
Typical Ranges
Feature wall (Victorian reception, one wall including lining): £280 to £450. Full room (Mapperley Park villa, 4 walls, high ceilings): £600 to £1,100.
