Professional Wallpaper Installation and Removal for Homes & Businesses
Whether you’re updating a feature wall, redecorating your home or renovating a commercial property, professionally installed wallpaper can completely transform a space. At OS Decor, we provide expert wallpaper hanging and wallpaper removal services throughout Dublin, delivering beautifully finished walls with careful preparation and attention to detail.
Professional wallpaper removal is just as important as installation. Old wallpaper, stubborn adhesive and damaged wall surfaces can all affect the final finish if not removed correctly. We carefully remove existing wallpaper, prepare the surface and carry out plaster repairs where needed before hanging new wallpaper or preparing your walls for interior or house painting.
As well as wallpaper hanging and removal, OS Decor provides professional plastering, house painting, and more. This allows us to manage every stage of your decorating project, from surface preparation and plaster repairs to the final finish, without the need to coordinate multiple contractors.
From a single room to a complete property refurbishment, we provide a professional decorating service designed to make your project as straightforward as possible.
Why Dublin Customers Choose OS Decor
Professional Wallpaper Hanging & Removal Services
Wallpaper remains one of the most effective ways to add character, texture and style to a room. Whether you prefer a bold feature wall, a subtle patterned finish or a contemporary textured design, professional installation helps ensure your wallpaper looks seamless and lasts for years.
Likewise, removing old wallpaper requires patience and the right techniques. Pulling wallpaper away too quickly or leaving adhesive behind can damage plaster and create additional decorating work later. Our team carefully removes wallpaper while protecting the surface underneath wherever possible, giving you the best foundation for your next decorating project.
We regularly work with:
- Homeowners modernising their interiors
- Families renovating recently purchased homes
- Landlords preparing rental properties
- Property investors refurbishing houses and apartments
- Businesses updating offices, retail units and commercial premises
- Homeowners preparing properties for sale
Whatever the size of your project, we’ll assess the condition of your walls and recommend the most suitable approach before any work begins.

Different wallpaper materials require different preparation and installation techniques. Our experience allows us to work with a wide variety of products commonly found in Dublin homes and commercial properties.

If you’re unsure what type of wallpaper you currently have, we’ll identify it during your quotation and explain the best removal or installation method.
Benefits of Professional Wallpaper Hanging & Removal
Professional wallpapering isn’t simply about achieving straight joins and neat edges. It’s about preparing the surface properly so your finished room looks its best and remains looking good for years to come.
A Better Finish Starts with Proper Preparation
Smooth walls create better decorating results. We remove wallpaper carefully, clean away adhesive residue and prepare the surface before installing new wallpaper or applying paint.
Save Time and Avoid DIY Frustration
Wallpaper removal can quickly become messy and time-consuming, particularly with older wallpaper or multiple layers. Professional removal reduces the risk of unnecessary wall damage and saves hours of difficult work.
One Team for the Entire Project
If your walls need repairs after wallpaper removal, there’s no need to organise multiple trades. We can complete plaster repairs, prepare surfaces and carry out interior painting where required, helping keep your renovation moving.
A Professional Finish You'll Enjoy for Years
Correct surface preparation, accurate pattern matching and careful installation all contribute to wallpaper that looks clean, consistent and professionally finished throughout the room.

Our Wallpaper Hanging & Removal Process
Whether you’re replacing wallpaper in one room or redecorating an entire property, we aim to make the process straightforward and well organised from beginning to end.
Step 1 – Arrange Your Free Quote
Get in touch by phone or through our online enquiry form. We’ll discuss your project, answer any initial questions and arrange a convenient time to assess the work.
Step 2 – Assess Your Walls
Before work begins, we’ll inspect the existing wallpaper, wall condition and overall decorating requirements. We’ll identify whether any additional preparation, plaster repairs or lining paper may be beneficial before installation and explain everything clearly during your quotation.
Step 3 – Prepare the Surface
Proper surface preparation is essential for a professional, long-lasting finish. Depending on the condition of your walls, this may include removing existing wallpaper and adhesive, repairing damaged plaster, smoothing uneven surfaces and installing lining paper where required. Careful preparation improves wallpaper adhesion, creates cleaner pattern matching, reduces visible imperfections and helps prevent peeling or bubbling over time.
Step 4 – Wallpaper Installation or Finishing Work
Once the walls are ready, we carefully install your new wallpaper using professional techniques, paying close attention to pattern matching, vertical alignment, clean edges, smooth joins and a consistent finish. Where requested, we can also complete plaster repairs or interior painting as part of the same project.
Step 5 – Final Inspection and Clean-Up
Before we consider the project complete, we carry out a final inspection to ensure everything has been finished to the agreed standard. We also remove wallpaper waste, tidy the work area and leave your property ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wallpapering in Dublin typically costs €255 to €455 for a small box room and €800 to €1,200+ for a full living room, depending on the wallpaper you choose and the condition of the walls. Wallpaper removal costs €150 to €300 depending on area and difficulty. We provide a fixed written quotation before any work begins.
Every project is different, so we provide a free, no-obligation quotation based on the size of the area, the type of wallpaper, the condition of the walls and any preparation work required. This means you’ll receive a quotation tailored to your project rather than a one-size-fits-all estimate.
The time required depends on several factors, including the number of rooms, the type of wallpaper, the condition of the walls and whether plaster repairs or additional preparation are needed. During your quotation, we’ll explain what is involved and provide an estimated timeframe for your project.
Our team uses professional techniques designed to minimise damage during wallpaper removal. However, older wallpaper, multiple layers or existing plaster defects can sometimes reveal areas that need repair once the wallpaper has been removed.
If this happens, we can carry out plaster repairs before repainting or installing new wallpaper.
Do you remove wallpaper adhesive?
Yes. Adhesive residue is removed as part of our wallpaper removal process. Leaving paste behind can affect paint adhesion and prevent new wallpaper from sitting correctly, so preparing the surface properly is an important step.
Not always.
Many walls only require cleaning and minor preparation before decorating. However, if wallpaper removal exposes damaged plaster, uneven surfaces or previous repairs, replastering may be recommended to achieve the best possible finish.
We’ll assess your walls during your quotation and explain whether replastering is necessary.
Yes.
Many of our customers choose to remove existing wallpaper and install new wallpaper during the same project. Once the walls have been prepared and any necessary repairs completed, we can professionally hang your chosen wallpaper.
Absolutely.
If you decide not to install new wallpaper, we can prepare the walls and complete the project with professional interior painting, helping you avoid arranging multiple contractors.
We install and remove a wide variety of wallpaper styles, including:
- Vinyl wallpaper
- Traditional paper wallpaper
- Non-woven wallpaper
- Fabric wallpaper
- Textured wallpaper
- Woodchip wallpaper
- Lining paper
- Decorative border wallpaper
- Feature wall wallpaper
- Mural wallpaper
If you’re unsure which wallpaper you have, we’ll identify it during our initial assessment.
Removing smaller furniture, pictures and decorative items from the walls can help speed up the process. If any additional preparation is required, we’ll discuss it with you before work begins.
Yes.
Alongside residential projects, we also provide wallpaper hanging and wallpaper removal for offices, retail units, restaurants and other commercial premises.
