Nathan Philip · Answer

The cost of installing silk wallpaper can vary depending on various factors such as the quality of the silk wallpaper, the complexity of the installation process, and the location of the installation.

In general, the cost of silk wallpaper installation is usually calculated per square meter or per square foot. The cost per square meter can range from $80 to $300 or more, depending on the factors mentioned above.

It's always a good idea to get quotes from several professional wallpaper installers in your area to get a more accurate estimate of the cost for your specific project. Additionally, keep in mind that the cost of the wallpaper itself is not included in the installation cost and will need to be purchased separately.

The cost of installing silk wallpaper varies based on factors such as room size, wall condition, and the complexity of the installation. In the UK, prices can range from £32 to £56 per square metre, including both materials and labour.

For high-end installations, such as bespoke silk chinoiserie in a standard room (approximately 45-55 square metres), costs may be around £3,000 – £3,500 plus VAT. Feature walls or smaller areas might cost approximately £1,200 plus VAT.

Given your location in Harringay, London, it's advisable to consult with local professional decorators to obtain accurate quotes tailored to your specific project requirements.

Paul · Answer

You could get this job done for £180-£220 or that’s what I would charge

Paul · Answer

Costs can vary depending on what product you use on the wall and how much preparation the wall will need.
If it’s a painted plaster boarded wall then it’s fairly straightforward, the wall will just need to be primed first.
For a standard feature wall in say a bedroom or lounge You would probably be looking at £400 including cost of the materials.
