ScrollMost see walls as mere boundaries, functional surfaces that divide spaces, occasionally dressed in colours or repetitive patterns. At DapperWalls, we see beyond the surface. We believe walls are the largest design canvases in any space, with the power to define character, evoke emotion and transform the way people experience their surroundings. We don't just decorate walls; we transform them into architectural statements.

Our approach
We look at the whole room first.
Before we pick up a brush, we look at your light, your floors, your furniture and the shape of the room. The finish should suit the space it's in, whether that's a fresh coat of paint or a polished plaster wall.
Why choose DapperWalls?
Six things you can count on, whether the job is one freshly painted room or a Venetian plaster feature wall.
01/ 06
Whether we're painting, decorating, wallpapering or creating a bespoke artisan finish, we start by understanding the room and what you want from it. We look at the colours already there, the light, the furniture, the flooring and the architecture, so the finished wall fits the rest of the interior.
Most of the work happens before the final coat. We fill and repair cracks and dents, sand, prime and get the surface right first. That goes for a plain painted wall, a wallpaper job and a decorative finish alike, because it's what makes the result last.
From the first consultation and quote through preparation, application and the final walkthrough, we tell you what's happening and what comes next. No guessing, no chasing.
For bespoke finishes, we make a sample board first. You can hold it up in your room, touch it and check the colour, texture and sheen in your own light before we start on the walls.
We do standard painting and decorating, wallpapering and specialist finishes like Venetian plaster. Because we don't only do one thing, we can suggest what the room actually needs: a full refresh, new wallpaper or one statement wall.
We carry public liability insurance of up to £1 million, so you're covered while we're working in your home or business.

Our services
What we do.
We work in homes and commercial properties. Most jobs fall into one of three kinds of work, and plenty of projects use more than one.
Painting and decorating
Interior and exterior painting, and full decorating jobs, from a single room to a whole property.
A finish is only as good as the surface under it. We fill, repair, sand and prime properly first, which gives you a smoother, cleaner wall that lasts longer.
Decorative plaster finishes
Venetian plaster, polished plaster, limewash, clay plaster and other specialist finishes, applied by hand.
You can pick a classic technique, or we can develop something new with you based on the style and materials you like and the character of the room. Either way, we adjust each finish to suit the space.
Wallpaper installation
We install wallpaper with the same care over preparation that we give our paint and plaster work.
Bring your own wallpaper, or we can help you choose one that suits the room. We'll also work out how many rolls you need, so you don't overbuy or run short.
We check and prepare the walls before the first drop goes up, then hang it with straight lines, matched patterns and neat edges.
