Upper East Side Accent Wallpaper Installation
 

Wolf-Gordon Manhattan Paper Hanging

With a keen eye for class and the desire to make a stylish statement in their new apartment, this family collaborated with our color consultant to determine their preference for the wall paint plus an accent wallpaper in the bedroom. Benjamin Moore’s Yukon Sky 1439 was selected for the walls, its smoky blue-gray subtly hinting at an approaching night time.

Wolf-Gordon’s wallpaper products combine excellent design with dependable performance. The wall surface must be completely smooth and uniform. There are many adhesives from which to choose depending on the thickness and material of the wallpaper. Then there’s using the precise amount of glue and lining up each sheet perfectly next to the previous one and trimming at the edges where one wall makes a corner with another one. Wallpaper installation is a demanding combination of art, science, timing and precision, and we happen to think this shimmery, dappled accent wall is very cool.

NYC Professional Wallpaper Hanging

Upper East Side Manhattan has been dubbed the Gold Coast and Silk Stocking District. It is renown for arts and culture with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum, El Museo del Barrio, the Jewish Museum and more. The rich and famous, along with the modest and lesser known, adore Central Park, the comedy clubs, shopping, nightlife and restaurants. It is in this elegant setting that one local homeowner recently contacted Paintworks & Decorating to add a very sharp, black and white wallpaper in the kitchen and bathroom.

 The project began with washing then prepping the walls for smoothness and optimum adherence characteristics. Paintworks always applies R-35® Clear Adhesion-Promoting Wallpaper Primer which not only dries clear with a permanent tackiness (sticky, not sleazy), but also minimal odor, cleans up with water and rates zero on the VOC scale. The rooms already had white tile and a black tile border, so adding wallpaper with geometrical black and white shapes kept the sharp contrast for which black and white are often chosen. The geometric pattern reaches into our sense of order and embraces our comfort in repetition. The Paintworks crew was very happy with the result because it looked really cool with a fun, illusion-like quality. It doesn't make you cross your eyes or anything, but it does get your attention in an unexpected, mischievous way.

Installing Wallpaper in Long Island City 

This couple called us after moving into a new home in Long Island City. As professional wallpaper hangers in Long Island City we were happy to help. The client chose a beautiful elaborate wallpaper for an accent wall in their bedroom. We began the process by cleaning and patching the surface to ensure the wallpaper would adhere properly and look smooth throughout. After that we primed the wall. We carefully applied the wallpaper paste and smoothed the paper onto the wall. We love the pattern they chose and shows how powerful wallpaper can be as an accent wall in a home. Whether installing or removing wallpaper in Queens, the results can be drastic and amazing.
