Small Interior Details Can Change the Whole Room
Wallpaper is often used to create a feature wall, refresh a powder room, add interest to a dining room, or bring personality into a bedroom, office, hallway, or living space.
The finished look depends heavily on the condition of the wall, surface prep, layout, seams, corners, and careful installation. For removal projects, the goal is to remove the old material while preparing the wall for a cleaner painted finish or a new wallcovering.

Empire Painting helps homeowners with wallpaper installation, wallpaper removal, accent walls, feature spaces, wall prep, and interior painting support throughout Milwaukee, Waukesha County, Lake Country, and Southeast Wisconsin.
Wallpaper Installation
Installation support for accent walls, feature spaces, powder rooms, bedrooms, offices, hallways, and other interior updates.
Wallpaper Removal
Removal of old wallpaper before repainting, refreshing a room, or preparing the surface for a new wall treatment.
Wall Prep Before Painting
After wallpaper removal, walls may need cleaning, patching, sanding, priming, or additional prep before paint is applied.
Good Results Start with the Wall Surface
Wallpaper projects depend on the condition of the wall and the type of material being installed or removed. Empire Painting reviews the space, surface condition, project goals, and next steps before work begins.
The same prep-first mindset used in our painting projects applies here too: protect the space, prepare the surface, and help the finished room look clean and complete.
Wallpaper Often Connects to Interior Painting
Many wallpaper projects are part of a larger interior refresh, room update, or repainting project.
Feature Walls & Finished Spaces
Wallpaper can be a strong choice when you want a room to feel more custom, finished, and visually interesting.

Interior Painting Services →Questions Homeowners Ask About Wallpaper Projects
Wallpaper projects usually come down to the room, wall condition, material, and whether the next step is new wallpaper, paint, or both.
Can Empire help remove old wallpaper before painting?
Yes. Empire Painting can help with wallpaper removal and the wall preparation often needed before interior painting, including cleaning, patching, sanding, priming, and planning the next finish.

Yes. Wallpaper installation can be a good fit for accent walls, powder rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, offices, hallways, and feature spaces where a more finished look is wanted.
Does the wall need prep before wallpaper is installed?
Usually, yes. The wall condition matters. Smooth, clean, properly prepared walls help wallpaper seams, corners, layout, and adhesion look better once the project is complete.
