Wallpaper is one of the most effective ways to add character, texture, and luxury to a room, but the difference between a good result and a perfect one lies entirely in the preparation.
At Wright’s Painting & Decorating, we bring over 36 years of family heritage and a meticulous eye for detail to every roll we handle. From striking feature walls to full room transformations, we ensure your chosen design is displayed exactly as it was intended, with the seamless finish your home deserves.
Our Wallpapering Expertise
We take pride in handling projects of all scales with the same level of care. Our experience spans a wide range of materials, including standard printed papers, durable vinyl for high traffic areas, and luxury textured wallcoverings like grasscloth or flock that require specialist handling.
Whether you are looking for a single statement wall or a cohesive look throughout an entire room, we provide the technical skill necessary to manage complex patterns and delicate materials.
A perfect finish always starts underneath the paper. Our comprehensive service includes the careful stripping of old wallcoverings and thorough surface preparation.
We take the time to fill, sand, and size your walls, or apply lining paper where necessary, to create a perfectly smooth base that ensures your new wallpaper adheres flawlessly and remains durable for years to come.
Our Standard of Care
Choosing Wright’s means choosing a stress free experience from start to finish. We take the difficulty out of complex pattern matching, ensuring every join is invisible and every design element is perfectly aligned across your walls.
We are particularly skilled at navigating the tricky areas that often trip up DIY projects, such as seamless transitions around sockets, radiators, and awkward corners.
As a family run business based in Stansted, we treat your home with the utmost respect. We use high quality floor protection throughout the process and maintain a tidy workspace, ensuring your rooms are left spotless and ready for you to enjoy.
If you are still in the planning stages, we also offer professional design advice to help you select a paper and finish that complements your home’s natural light and architectural style.

When it comes to painting and decorating in Essex & Hertfordshire, we stand out from the competition. Here's why:
Expertise isn’t learned overnight. As a family run business, the craft has been passed down through generations. Connor learned the trade from his father, who brings over three decades of hands on experience to every project. When you hire Wright’s, you aren’t just getting a painter; you’re getting a legacy of craftsmanship and a deep rooted pride in the trade.
Choosing the right shade can be overwhelming. Wright’s goes beyond just applying paint; they offer professional colour and design consultations. Whether you want to follow the latest trends or find a timeless classic, they help you navigate palettes and finishes to ensure the end result perfectly matches your vision.
They believe in using the best materials for a "flawless finish," primarily utilising trade quality brands like Johnstone’s and Dulux. A standout benefit is their ability to colour match premium designer brands (like Farrow & Ball or Little Greene) into high performance trade paints, giving you that luxury look with greater durability and a more cost effective price tag.
You don’t need a full renovation to get a "new" kitchen. Wright’s specialises in kitchen unit and furniture painting, offering a sustainable and affordable way to breathe life into tired cabinets and wood pieces. This meticulous service allows homeowners to transform their most used spaces without the mess or expense of a total refit.
Their motto, "Dedicated to Detail," isn’t just a slogan, it’s a promise. Clients consistently praise the team for their punctuality, polite nature, and "tidy as they go" approach. They understand that they are working in your home, and they take immense pride in leaving every space spotless and ready to use the moment the job is done.
From delicate wallpapering and period renovations to durable exterior masonry painting, Wright’s handles it all. Whether it’s a single feature wall or a large scale commercial property, they provide a consistent, high standard service across all aspects of decorating, making them a one stop shop for property transformations.
Do I need to prepare the wall before wallpapering?
Yes. Walls should be clean, smooth, and dry. Remove old wallpaper, fill holes or cracks, sand rough areas, and apply primer or a wallpaper sizing solution if recommended. Proper prep helps wallpaper stick better and prevents bubbles.
How much wallpaper do I need?
Measure the height and width of each wall, calculate the total area, and then divide by the coverage listed on the wallpaper roll. Always order an extra roll to account for pattern matching, mistakes, or future repairs.
Should I start wallpapering from the corner of the room?
Usually no. Professionals often start from a straight vertical line (plumb line) near a focal point or window. Corners are rarely perfectly straight, so starting there can cause misalignment.
How do I match wallpaper patterns correctly?
Lay out the rolls first and align the patterns before cutting. Many wallpapers require pattern matching, meaning each strip must be cut so the design lines up with the previous strip. The roll label usually tells you the pattern repeat.
How do I remove air bubbles after hanging wallpaper?
Use a wallpaper smoother or brush, working from the center outward to push air toward the edges. If a small bubble remains, you can carefully prick it with a pin and smooth it out.
