Most walls have minor imperfections and aren’t perfectly flat, and wallpaper can accentuate these flaws. Proper wall preparation is crucial for achieving a flawless finish.

The goal of wall prep is to create a smooth, flat surface, which involves repairing any holes, dents, or scratches in the drywall using drywall compound. Once the compound is dry, it’s carefully sanded to a smooth finish.

If the wall has texture, it can show through the wallpaper. To prevent this, we apply a fresh layer of plaster over the textured areas, ensuring the wallpaper lies flat and uninterrupted.

Finally, we clean the wall by wiping it down with a vinegar solution to remove any dust and debris.

Only after completing these essential steps will the wallpaper installation begin. Enjoy your perfectly smooth, picture-perfect wall!
