Even the most exquisite wallcovering will not look its best unless it is hung with skill and attention to detail. It’s an art that is only perfected with training and practice, which is why many people choose to hire a professional installation company, rather than tackle the job themselves. Here are some tips for making the right selection.

See if they can show you previous examples of their work

A high-end company should have a website which displays a portfolio of their work, or can direct you to photographs and reviews on social media. Ask if they have worked with any high-profile clients or at prestigious buildings. They should be happy to provide you references and testimonials if you ask for them.

Ask if they have experience of the type of wallcovering you want installed

There are a wide range of wallcoverings on the market, and you want to make sure the installer has worked with your selection before. This is particularly important for expensive materials, such as delicate silks and grasscloths, and for complex patterns and murals. If you have bought a particular brand, ask if they are familiar with it.

Ask if they will carry out a consultation first

It’s important that the installers inspect the space you want the work carried out on beforehand. They need to know how the wall is to be prepped, and if they need to tackle any unusual or awkward spaces. Mistakes can be expensive and time consuming to rectify, so the more preparation, the better.

Don’t always go with the cheapest price or quickest turnaround

You will be living with your wallcovering for a long time, and see it almost every day of your life. To enjoy the beautiful design at its best, it’s worth putting the effort in to make sure it is hung to the highest possible standard. Shoddy work, with poor attention to detail will spoil the investment you have made.
