Feature walls and wallpaper

A bold botanical paper across one bedroom wall, geometric paper below the dado rail on a landing, or every room from the hall to the dining room: wallpapering is a big part of what I do, alongside the painting around it.

Not sure what you want yet? I’m happy to help you choose paint colours and wallpaper, and then bring the idea to life.

Amazing work!! Paul came round and gave us a very reasonable quote for our lounge and master bedroom. We had a rough idea of what we wanted but Paul was great with offering advice on paint choices etc..

He fit us in with really short notice and the work was carried out and completed in just 3 days whilst continuing with other work!

We absolutely love the result and can’t wait to get the rest of the house done!

Would definitely recommend Paul to anyone, thanks again!

What I take on

Interior painting and decorating for homes across Bournemouth, Poole, Wimborne and Verwood.

  • Interior painting

    Halls, stairs and landings, kitchens, dining rooms, lounges and bedrooms.

  • Wallpapering

    Hanging wallpaper, from a single wall to whole rooms, hallways and stairs.

  • Feature walls

    One bold papered or painted wall to give a room its character.

  • Woodwork and varnishing

    Woodwork prepped and sanded first, then painted or varnished.

  • Whole-house decorating

    Several rooms done in one go: hall, stairs, kitchen, dining room and bedrooms.

  • Nurseries, kids’ rooms and home offices

    A baby’s room papered just how you pictured it, or a spare room turned into an office.

Stairs, landing and balusters, finished in white.

How a job runs

Step 1

Step 2

Colours and paper

If you only have a rough idea, I’m happy to help with paint choices and picking the wallpaper.

Step 3

Preparation first

Walls and woodwork are prepped and sanded before any paint, paper or varnish goes on.

Tidy every day

I turn up on time, and the house is left clean and tidy at the end of each day.

“His work is impeccable, his professionalism is way above the bar and his project close out is next to none. Paul has a waiting list but to be honest I would wait for Paul than let anyone into my property.”

Wow, I am so thrilled with the work Paul has completed over the last 2 weeks, it was so worth the wait. He has painted and wallpapered the Hall, Stairs, Kitchen, Dining Room and even fitted in a water damage repair in the lounge. All of the work has been done to absolute perfection. Paul is so professional, friendly and totally trustworthy, he arrives on time and when leaving at the end of the day everything is left clean and tidy. I would 100% recommend Paul and will definitely use again.

Amanda TaylorGoogle review, June 2026

We recently had our hallway and a bedroom transformed by Paul. From the first visit to the end of the project, Paul was efficient, very professional and took on board our vision for both rooms. He arrived promptly each morning and worked to a very high standard, offering solutions and options along the way and paid attention to every little detail. Paul was respectful of our home, tidied up each day and adapted to the needs of our indoor cat. We are delighted with the end result and would definitely consider booking Paul to work on other rooms in the future.

5 star Highly recommend Paul. He was quick to respond to our inquiry and came to see us at home. So friendly and chatty knew straight away he was the man for job. He was honest in terms of his availability we were happy to wait as it showed he’s popularity/in demand.

Paul was professional, thorough and meticulous with his work. He prepped and sanded all walls and woodwork before decorating/varnishing our whole house. We left Paul in our house whilst we went away for a week. We came home to find house clean/tidy- furniture all put back and rooms returned to original layout.

Paul helped us put pictures, curtain poles and items back on walls which was a big help in getting our home back in order.

Recommend Paul for anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and professional painter/decorator.

Thank you

Rosemary and Abby
