Restore & Reprint Damaged Wallpapers

While we recommend an original sample, we can also recreate designs from photographs, making the process flexible for you.

The time frame varies based on complexity, but for basic restorations, it's 2-4 weeks. For more intricate work, it can range from 6-8 weeks.

A quick fix typically addresses minor issues, while a restoration involves more in-depth work, especially on vintage and historic wallpapers. All of this depends on how complete, undamaged and clean youor samples are. Sometimes all our designers need to do is clean off dust or small blemishes and other times it's a radical reconstruction on a severely damaged piece.

The intricacy of detail and number of colors in your pattern will also play a significant role in determining the scope of your project.

We strive for accurate matching, even if your existing wallpaper is damaged. There are cases where an exact match is not possible, but our goal is to replicate as closely as possible.

Send your sample via courier directly to our digital scanning facility. We will handle it with great care every step of the way, so you can rest assured that it will be returned to you safe and sound.
