Restaurant Wallpaper Installation 

 The condition of restrooms in a business, and perhaps even moreso in a restaurant, can impact the bottom line. Consumers do – consciously or subconsciously – make judgment calls about a business based on their perception of cleanliness in the bathroom. Well-maintained, sanitary facilities are linked to a positive, overall impression of a company. In the case of an eatery, well, clean in the restroom bodes well for someone thinking it’s probably also clean in the kitchen.

For this Midtown East restaurant in Manhattan, we removed old wallpaper to prepare for new wallpaper. Taking down wallpaper entails not only pulling it off and disposing of it all, but also scraping and sanding away old glue and any wall imperfections before setting up for the new covering. Bathrooms are famous for water and humidity, so impeccably prepping the surface assures a long-lasting wallpaper installation.

Putting up wallpaper entails a multi-prong approach to managing large sheets of the product, glue on one side and precision placement to line up the print horizontally from big piece to the adjacent big piece. Hand-eye coordination reaches new levels, along with not getting glue on your elbows, countertop, sinks, sconces or mirrors. There’s a little bit of acrobatic motion involved. Smoothing it and trimming meticulously follows. This handsome, light butterscotch wallpaper contrasts comfortably with the dark wood trim as well as the white molding strip above the backsplash. Between the art deco Chrysler building, awesome skyscrapers, classy residences, 5th Avenue shopping,  Madison Avenue advertising firms and a plethora of interesting restaurants, visitors and residents all expect neat, fresh, spotless, nicely appointed restrooms.

Manhattan Wallpaper Install

The humble artichoke ranks number one of all veggies in antioxidant count, according to a study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Additionally, it is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, protein, vitamins and minerals. Each one is really a bud in the thistle family, as noted by the little thorn in each leaf which softens with cooking. And if you want to know if you can find artichokes in wallpaper, take a gander at this novel interior. Following a dining room and kitchen remodeling project, the homeowner wished to spice up the entry.

Imagine our surprise and delight to find our job entailed installing wallpaper with artichokes in misty gray and cotton white on a background of deep brick red. Wallpaper can be more economical in the long-term than paint, but hey, there’s no disputing the element of interest here. Some of the challenges in working with wallpaper include cutting, pasting and matching patterns. We use very sharp utility knives, changing out blades as needed, and are cautious not to over-paste, a common error. Our team finds lining up the patterns a somewhat stimulating challenge. You just never know where experienced tradesmen find their kicks. These homeowners are not keeping up with the Joneses. They are the Joneses, raising the bar, setting the standard with this memorable wallpaper.
