Why Wallpaper Is Making a Comeback — and Why You Should Hire a Pro to Hang It

How Custom Wallpaper Can Transform Your Space (and Save You Headaches)

Looking to give your space an instant upgrade that feels stylish, personal, and high-end? Wallpaper might be the secret weapon your walls are waiting for.

From bold florals and textured linens to subtle grasscloth and metallic prints, today’s wallpaper is nothing like the stuff your grandmother struggled to strip off her kitchen walls. The materials are better. The styles are endless. And the impact is—well, stunning.

At Pro Image Painting LLC, we offer professional wallpaper hanging services throughout New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts, and we’ve seen firsthand how a single accent wall or custom room wrap can completely transform a space.

But wallpaper isn’t a DIY weekend project. Here’s what you need to know before rolling out the glue.

🎨 Why Wallpaper Is Worth It

Wallpaper does what paint alone can’t. It adds:

  • Dimension — From textured vinyls to woven materials, wallpaper creates tactile interest.

  • Depth — Large-scale murals and patterns create the illusion of space.

  • Luxury — Premium brands like Schumacher, Farrow & Ball, and Phillip Jeffries are often used in designer homes and high-end interiors.

  • Personality — Whether you’re going for moody sophistication or playful charm, there’s a print for every taste.

Want your powder room to pop? Your nursery to feel whimsical? Your dining room to make a statement? Wallpaper brings a designer feel with long-lasting impact.

⚠️ Why You Shouldn't DIY Your Wallpaper Installation

We get it—there are a million tutorials online. But wallpaper installation is a true craft, and here’s why hiring a professional matters:

1. Precise Wall Prep

Bubbles, peeling edges, and crooked patterns often come down to poor prep. We know how to properly clean, prime, and smooth your walls before a single panel goes up.

2. Pattern Matching & Seam Work

Especially with repeat patterns or murals, exact alignment matters. We measure meticulously and cut with precision so the final look is seamless (literally).

3. Specialty Materials Require Special Care

Grasscloth, foil-backed papers, hand-painted panels—these aren’t your average peel-and-stick products. They require custom glue types, tools, and techniques. One wrong move can ruin an expensive roll.

4. No Wasted Product

Wallpaper is sold by the roll—usually 27” or 36” wide and in limited runs. If you miscut or tear a panel, you might not be able to order more. We take careful measurements and provide accurate estimates, so you buy what you need and nothing more.

5. It’s Not As Easy As It Looks

Corners, outlets, light switches, windows—every cut matters. We bring years of experience to ensure everything fits perfectly and stays put.
