Choosing wallpaper online is hard. Color shifts from screen to screen, texture disappears, and scale is almost impossible to judge from a thumbnail. That is why a wallpaper store with real samples and someone to guide you is worth the visit. If you are looking for a wallpaper store in Austin, here is what to look for.
1. A real selection to look through
A good wallpaper store carries more than a few rolls. Look for sample books from multiple wallpaper houses so you can compare patterns, materials, and styles side by side. Our showroom has sample books to look through, and we carry wallcoverings from designer houses.
2. Samples you can take home
A wall in a showroom does not look like a wall in your home. Morning light, evening light, and your own furniture all change how a pattern reads. Ask whether you can see samples in your own light. We bring curated samples to you so you can judge them where the paper will actually hang.
3. Guidance on pattern, scale, and color
The wallpaper itself is only part of the decision. Pattern scale, repeat, and color all affect how a room feels. A good store helps you think through which wall, which room, and which paper, instead of just handing you a book. Many of our clients start with a consultation for exactly this reason.
4. Someone who knows how it gets installed
Some papers are far more demanding to hang than others. Grasscloth, silk, murals, and large repeats all need planning. A store that also installs can tell you in advance what your chosen paper will require, so there are no surprises. Read our guide on how to choose a wallpaper installer in Austin, or learn about grasscloth installation.
5. Flexibility on what you have already chosen
If you have already found a paper, a good installer will still talk through your project. We install the wallcoverings we carry, and we also install paper you have chosen elsewhere. If you are weighing materials, our comparison of peel-and-stick vs traditional wallpaper can help.
