Wallpaper Installation & Removal Sydney
Expert wallpaper hanging with tight seams and precise pattern matching, plus clean removal of old paper. Wallpaper installers Sydney homeowners trust.
Precision Makes All the Difference
Wallpaper can transform a room in ways paint cannot, bringing pattern, texture and character to a space in just one installation. But it leaves little room for mistakes. Uneven drops, poorly matched patterns, bubbles and visible seams can quickly spoil the finished result. Careful installation is what separates a professional feature from a disappointing one. With more than 20 years of experience, Maestro Painting takes the time to install every wall covering properly.
A quality wallpaper installation begins with thorough preparation. We repair and sand imperfections, seal the surface and ensure the wall is smooth and stable before installation, as even small flaws can show through the finished paper. We then measure the space, plan each drop, align the pattern repeatedly and carefully hang every length to create clean, tight joins without bubbles or trapped air.
We can also take care of removing old or difficult wallpaper. Existing paper and adhesive are carefully stripped away before we repair and prepare the surface for new wallpaper or a fresh coat of paint. From a bold mural in a Hills District nursery to an elegant feature wall in an Inner West terrace, we give every project the same level of attention and care.
How We Handle Wallpaper
From installation through removal, we take the preparation seriously to achieve a clean, durable result.
Removal of Old Paper
We carefully remove old and difficult wallpaper, clean away remaining adhesive and leave the surface prepared for its new finish.
Wall Preparation
We fill dents and imperfections, sand the surface smooth and apply the appropriate primer or sizing so the wallpaper bonds properly.
Measuring & Planning
We measure the space, work out each drop, consider the pattern repeat and position seams carefully for a balanced overall layout.
Precise Pattern Matching
Every length is positioned to keep the pattern continuous across joins, creating neat, discreet seams and secure edges.
Murals & Feature Walls
We install panel murals, textured wallpaper, grasscloth and designer prints with the precision and care these specialist materials require.
Clean Finish & Tidy Up
Wallpaper is neatly trimmed around skirting, switches and cornices, excess paste is removed and the room is left clean and finished.
Precision in Every Seam
Wallpaper installation is a detail-focused job where experience makes a difference across every wall.
- Even drops, accurate pattern matching and secure seams that remain smooth
- Thorough surface preparation to prevent imperfections showing through the paper
- Careful removal of existing wallpaper without damaging the surface underneath
- Practical advice on quantities, suitable papers and the best areas to use them
Wallpaper can work beautifully alongside other finishes. Combine a feature wall with freshly painted surrounding walls, or create contrast with Venetian plaster nearby for a more layered interior. We can coordinate both finishes as part of the same project.

Finding the Right Wallpaper for Your Space
Today's wallpaper options offer everything from fine hand-drawn designs and statement murals to textured grasscloth and durable vinyls. Choosing the right option means considering both the space and how it will be used. A bold pattern can create a strong feature in a living room or bedroom, while a softer textured paper can add warmth throughout an entire room without becoming overpowering. For high-use areas, washable and vinyl wallpapers can be a more practical choice than delicate designs. We can help you compare the options so your chosen wallpaper suits the room and stands the test of time.
Good planning is just as important as selecting the design. Pattern repeats influence the amount of wallpaper required and the position of joins, while feature walls need careful planning so the design is properly centred. Areas around windows, doors and switches also require precise measurements and trimming. By working through these details before installation begins, we create a finished result that feels balanced and deliberate. Whether your wallpaper is already chosen or you're still exploring options, we can advise you on quantities, suitability and the finer points that make a professional installation different.
Wallpaper FAQs
What Sydney homeowners ask before hanging or removing wallpaper.
Can you remove old wallpaper as well as hang new paper?
Yes. We strip old and stubborn wallpaper cleanly, remove residual glue, then repair and prepare the wall so it is smooth and sound. That preparation is essential whether you are hanging fresh paper or painting the wall instead.
Do you supply the wallpaper or do I?
Either works. Many clients choose their own paper or mural from a supplier or designer, and we install it. We are happy to advise on quantities, pattern repeat and suitability, and can point you toward reputable suppliers if you would like.
Will the pattern line up at the seams?
Yes. Precise pattern matching and tight, barely visible seams are the mark of a proper install. We measure carefully, plan the drops around the room and match the repeat so the finished wall reads as one continuous design.
Can wallpaper go in bathrooms or kitchens?
In many cases yes, provided the right paper is chosen and the wall is properly prepared and ventilated. We will advise on suitable products for higher-moisture areas so your feature stands the test of time.
