Damask and Traditional Wallpaper Installation

When choosing damask or traditional wallpaper, the installation technique matters as much as the print itself. A standard overlap won't work with intricate designs because the joints will stand out. I use specialized precision cutting to ensure that even with heavy-texture damask or complex Indian block-prints, the pattern flows seamlessly from one strip to the next.

My Process for Patterned Walls

• Surface Prep: I check your walls for moisture and uneven spots before starting. The wallpaper will only stick and look right if the wall underneath is clean and primed.
• Pattern Matching: I calculate the repeat of the pattern—whether it is a straight match or a drop match—before applying the first strip. This ensures the design isn't cut off awkwardly at the corners or switchboards.
• Material Handling: Imported vinyl-coated papers require specific adhesive mixtures. I use commercial-grade glue to ensure the edges don't curl, especially for heavier, embossed designs.

Whether you are installing gold-embossed damask in a formal living room or a subtle, traditional print in a bedroom, the goal is to make the wall look like a single, finished piece. If you have a specific pattern in mind, I can help you figure out how many rolls are needed to handle the wastage that comes with matching these detailed designs.
