A successful feature wall begins before materials are cut. The process should establish what the room needs, how the pattern fits the actual wall, who is supplying each item, and what level of finishing is included.
You can begin with a complete design, a product already purchased, a reference photo, or only a general direction. The information collected at the beginning helps turn that starting point into a practical installation plan.
Share the Project
Send the wall, room, and design direction
Provide straight-on and wide room photos, approximate wall width and height, property type, room use, preferred wall style, and any reference images. Note whether materials have already been selected or purchased.
- Full-wall and room photos
- Approximate dimensions
- Outlets, switches, vents, windows, doors, and corners
- Furniture, television, fireplace, shelving, or signage
- Preferred material or product link
Establish the Scope
Design, supply, installation—or installation only
Confirm which responsibilities are included. A complete project may involve layout development, material sourcing, installation, filling, caulking, priming, and painting. Installation-only work starts with an assessment of the purchased product, quantity, condition, and installation requirements.
Measure & Plan
Adapt the layout to the actual wall
Wall measurements, ceiling height, centre lines, furniture, fixed devices, edges, trim, and openings determine the final proportions. Panel modules and repeated patterns are checked so the first and final cuts finish deliberately.
Prepare the Area
Protect the room and assess the surface
Furniture movement, floor protection, material staging, wall condition, and work access are confirmed. Minor holes or surface issues are identified, while substantial drywall repair, moisture concerns, loose material, or structural conditions are handled as separate scope where necessary.
Install & Finish
Build the layout in a controlled sequence
Reference lines are marked and checked before material is cut and fastened. Edges, corners, seams, outlets, switches, and transitions are completed according to the product and design. Applicable fastener points are filled, suitable joints are caulked, and paint-ready surfaces are sanded.
Walkthrough
Review the completed scope
The installed wall, visible transitions, finish, cleanup, remaining paint work, product care, and any coordinated trade items are reviewed. Commercial projects can also include a property or project-contact walkthrough.
What affects the estimate?
Wall and Room
Width, height, access, corners, openings, stairs, wall condition, ceiling line, and number of separate areas.
Material and Pattern
Product, trim profile, quantity, pattern complexity, panel module, edge pieces, backing, cuts, and waste allowance.
Finish and Coordination
Filling, caulking, priming, painting, devices, TV mounting, signage, electrical coordination, furniture movement, and commercial access.
Do all projects require an in-person visit before quoting?
Some straightforward projects may be reviewed initially from clear photos, dimensions, and product details. Complex layouts, tall walls, stairways, commercial spaces, multiple rooms, uncertain surfaces, or projects involving several trades may require an on-site assessment before the scope can be finalized.
