Murals & Statement Walls
One wall that stops you in the doorway. Panoramic murals and bold patterns, laid out and hung so the scene lines up seamlessly, corner to corner.
Wallpaper · Chicagoland
Wallpaper, hung with a steady hand
Murals, grasscloth, and specialty papers, hung with precise seams and patterns that line up exactly. Family owned, based in Highland Park, serving the North Shore and greater Chicagoland.
The Craft
The paper is the easy part. The seams are everything.
Wallpaper shows every shortcut. A seam that does not meet, a pattern that drifts, a bubble that sets overnight, those are what you notice for years. So we prime the walls, measure twice, and hang each drop so the pattern reads as one continuous piece.
We protect the room, keep the workspace clean, and give the material the time it needs. Good paper deserves a careful hand, and your walls deserve one too.
What We Hang
Paper with character, hung with care

Still wondering about something? We are happy to talk it through.
630-300-3071How much does wallpaper installation cost?
It is priced by the number of rolls or drops, the wall prep required, and how intricate the pattern is. After a short walkthrough we send a detailed, fixed estimate with no surprises. Estimates are always free.
Do you remove old wallpaper too?
Yes. We strip old or dated paper, repair and skim the walls smooth, and leave them ready for new paper or a fresh coat of paint.
Do I buy the wallpaper, or do you?
Either works. We can help you choose and order it, or hang paper you already have. Send us the paper details and we will tell you exactly how much to order.
Can you hang grasscloth and delicate papers?
Yes. We regularly install grasscloth, silk, mica, and hand-printed murals. These materials need extra care and the right adhesives, and we handle them accordingly.
Do you prep the walls first?
Always. We prime and smooth the surface so seams lie flat, the pattern sits right, and the paper releases cleanly when it is time to change it.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Every estimate is free and pressure free. We measure, talk through papers, and send a written quote you can take your time with.
