Wallpaper Yardage
Idea Book
MATH NOT YOUR THING? Don’t worry …that’s what installers are for anyway. Whether you DIY your wallpaper install or hire it out (I’m a fan of outsourcing) the main question is :
HOW MUCH WALLPAPER WILL YOU NEED?
Don’t be scared of the math, this is third grade stuff. Also, I have children who are learning math much differently than I learned math, so I feel it’s necessary to say that some third grade math is admittedly scary …but this isn’t that, so we’re good.
You build a house, you hire a contractor. You get married, you hire a wedding planner. Time do to your taxes, you hire a CPA.
Ready to install wallpaper? You hire an installer.
Today, we’re going to demystify the process of working with a wallpaper installer, folks. I know there’s a DIY route for all of the above (except do NOT youtube how to build a house …definitely hire a contractor) …but let’s take out the fear of working with an installer, mkay?
When it comes to wallpaper, I have the pleasure of working directly with interior designers in the trade. This means that particular interior designer might be working with the architects, contractors, and subcontractors for both remodels and new construction. It’s a dream team!
Because the process stems from a collaborative design board of inspiration from beginning to end, I’m often asked “what whites would pair well with the whites from your wallpaper” or I’ll hear ideas like “we want to pull the green out for trim work.”
You see, I grew up around residential and commercial construction. I’m partial, sure, but he’s pretty great. So I know this process dearly.
