Character, built onto the wall.
Wall panelling, wainscoting and wallpaper hanging - the details that turn a plain room into one with character, fitted and finished properly.
Some of the biggest transformations we do are not about colour at all. Panelling gives a plain hallway architecture; wallpaper gives a flat room depth and warmth. Both live or die on the quality of the fitting and the preparation underneath.
Panelling and wainscoting
Simple box panelling in a hallway or full-height wainscoting - we set out, cut, fix, caulk and paint panelling as one job, so the proportions suit your wall heights and the paintwork reads as one finish. A panelled hallway, stairs and landing in Little Greene Linen Wash and Windmill Lane is one of the most-loved projects on our books - see the Liss case study.
Wallpapering
We hang premium papers - Sandberg, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene - with the wall preparation done first: surfaces made good, lined where needed, pattern matched carefully. A recent cloakroom in Sandberg paper with Farrow & Ball Selvedge woodwork shows what a small room can carry when it is done properly.
Who it is for
Hallways that need architecture, feature walls that need pattern, and rooms where a plain emulsion will never give the character you want. Often combined with a full redecoration so panelling, paper and paint read as one job.
What affects the price
- Style and height of panelling, and how many walls
- Wallpaper brand, pattern match and wall condition
- Lining paper and making-good underneath
- Paint finish on panelling and surrounding woodwork

Panelling & Wallpapering: your questions
How much does wall panelling cost?
It depends on the style (simple box panelling, shaker, wainscoting), the wall sizes and the finish. Panelling a hallway or a feature wall is usually a modest job with a big visual payoff. Call Nick on 07494 496695 for a free written quote.
Can you hang designer wallpaper?
Yes - we hang papers from Sandberg, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and other premium makers. The wall preparation underneath matters as much as the hanging: walls are made good and lined correctly first, so seams stay tight and the pattern sits true.
Panelling or wallpaper - which suits my room?
Panelling adds architectural character and takes knocks well - ideal for hallways, stairs and landings. Wallpaper brings pattern and warmth - ideal for feature walls, cloakrooms and bedrooms. We are happy to advise at the quote visit; sometimes the answer is both.
