Wallpaper Installers in Oxford
Radcliffe Decorators are wallpaper installers in Oxford, hanging heritage papers, contemporary designs, and lining paper across period and modern properties throughout the city.
Wallpaper in North Oxford’s period homes is not a simple job. Victorian and Edwardian villas frequently have bare plaster that needs preparation before any paper goes up. Poor prep is the main cause of wallpaper failure.

Wallpapering Services in Oxford
Feature Walls
Feature walls in Oxford period properties are typically in sitting rooms, master bedrooms, or hallways. Getting the pattern centred correctly on a chimney breast requires planning before any paste goes on the wall.
Full Room Wallpapering
Full room wallpapering in a North Oxford villa means working around picture rails, dado rails, chimney breasts, and window reveals. See our interior painting page if combining wallpaper rooms with painted rooms.
Lining Paper
Lining paper is the correct preparation for any wall that has previously been papered, has a textured surface, or shows unevenness. Cross-lining gives the finished paper the flattest possible base.
Heritage and Premium Papers
Farrow & Ball, Cole and Son, and Little Greene are common requests across North Oxford. These papers require careful handling. We advise on waste allowances before you order.
Wallpaper Removal
Old wallpaper removal is the foundation of a clean new installation. We strip properly rather than papering over the problem. Where old paper reveals damaged plaster, we tell you before continuing.
Our Wallpapering Process
1. Wall Assessment
We examine the wall surface: existing paper layers, plaster condition, out-of-plumb verticals, and cornice or rail profiles to work around.
2. Wall Preparation
Old paper is removed. Cracks are filled and sanded. The wall is sized to control paste absorption. Lining paper is hung where needed.
3. Pattern Planning
Before cutting any drops, we plan the pattern placement: centring on chimney breasts, confirming pattern height at cornice, and calculating the drop sequence.
4. Hanging
Drops are pasted and hung in sequence. Seams are pressed together and smoothed flat. Pattern matching is checked at each drop.
5. Inspection
We check seams, pattern alignment, and all trims in good light. Any bubbles or lifting edges are addressed before we leave.
