Choosing wallpaper

How to think about material, pattern, and roll count before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between vinyl, non-woven, paper, and grasscloth?
Vinyl is the most durable and easiest to clean — great for bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic walls. Non-woven is the most installer-friendly and most common in modern designer collections. Traditional paper has a beautiful matte look but is more delicate. Grasscloth and natural fibers add texture and dimension but show seams more visibly because of the organic material. We help you pick the right one for the room.
How many rolls do I need?
Use our roll calculator for an estimate, or read our detailed guide. We always recommend ordering one extra roll for pattern matching and future touch-ups, since dye lots can vary between print runs.
What is the difference between a single roll and a double roll?
Some manufacturers list “double roll” specs even though the paper is sold as one full roll. On our product pages we list the actual full-roll coverage area so there is no confusion.
Do you carry murals and custom-printed wallpapers?
Yes — we have curated mural collections and we coordinate custom-printed wallpapers for commercial brand environments and special residential projects.

Samples and ordering

How sampling, dye lots, and shipping work for Houston customers and nationwide buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a sample before buying?
Yes — on most products you will see a “Select Sample” option. We recommend ordering a sample before committing to a full roll. See our samples page.
Will all my rolls come from the same dye lot?
Order all the rolls you need at the same time. Different print runs can show small color variations between dye lots.
How long until I receive my order?
Processing is typically 1–3 business days depending on the product. Standard ground shipping usually adds 5–7 business days. Some designer brands are made-to-order and require longer lead times — this is shown on the product page.
Where do you ship?
We ship across the U.S. and offer free nationwide standard shipping on most orders. For international or expedited shipping, contact us.

Installation and wall prep

From wall prep to seam alignment to touch-up roll storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install wallpaper?
Yes — we are a Houston-based wallpaper installer with a real showroom. See our installation services page for detail.
Is wallpaper easy to install?
Most wallpapers need careful wall preparation and adhesive selection. We recommend reading our installation process guide. For most projects, a professional installer is the difference between a paper that lasts 15 years and one that lifts in six months.
How much does installation cost?
Installation typically starts around $3.00–$3.50 per square foot, and wall prep around $3.00 per square foot. A powder room often runs $450–$800. We provide a written estimate after reviewing the project — see our cost guide.
Can wallpaper be removed later?
Many modern wallpapers are designed to be strippable, especially when installed on properly primed walls. Removal method varies — the product page typically lists removability under specifications. See wallpaper removal.
Will I see seams after installation?
All wallpaper installations have seams where panels meet. Most printed wallpapers are designed so seams blend into the pattern. Grasscloth and natural materials may show seams more because of the organic fibers — this is part of the look, not a defect.
