Homeowners planning a room makeover
Rooms like theirs, finished beautifully, and help choosing colours or papers before committing.
Websites for decorators and wallpaper hangers
Decorating work is sold on taste as much as trade skill. Your site has to look considered, show finished rooms well, and make it easy to book a consultation or ask about a wallpaper.
Who hires you, and what they look for
Decorating customers are usually planning ahead and collecting ideas before they call.
Interior designers and architects
A hanger or decorator who handles expensive papers carefully, follows a specification and keeps to the programme.
Boutique hospitality and retail
Feature walls and specialty finishes done out of hours, with a portfolio that shows commercial interiors.
What the site must show
These are the sections we build for decorators and wallpaper hangers, filled with your own words and photos. The general list of what every plan includes is on what you get.
-
A portfolio organised by room and finish
Bedrooms, living spaces, stairwells, feature walls, grasscloth, murals, limewash. People browse by the look they want, so make it filterable by eye.
-
Colour consultations as a bookable service
What the consultation covers, how long it takes, what it costs, and whether the fee comes off the job. A clear page turns browsers into booked appointments.
-
Who supplies the paper or paint
Whether customers buy wallpaper themselves, how much to order, and what happens with pattern repeats and batch numbers. It prevents the most common decorating dispute.
-
Wall preparation and what it costs
Stripping old paper, skim coating and lining paper add time. Explaining this upfront makes your quote make sense.
-
A working-with-designers page
How you receive specifications, handle samples and report progress. It is aimed at trade clients who bring repeat work.

The enquiry form
A decorating enquiry form should capture the look as well as the room:
- Room or space, and approximate wall size
- Paint, wallpaper or a specialty finish
- Paper chosen already, or still choosing
- Would they like a colour consultation
- Suburb
- Inspiration photos or product links
Fields are set to your work. Customers can always add a message.
Common mistakes on these sites
- Tiny thumbnails that hide the detail customers are paying for.
- No explanation of wallpaper quantities, so every job starts with a supply problem.
- A consultation mentioned on the phone but nowhere on the website.

Questions from decorators and wallpaper hangers
Can I take bookings for colour consultations on the site?
Yes. The site can link to your own booking calendar, or show a consultation enquiry form. We set up whichever you use and explain the fee in words next to it.
Can I show wallpaper brand names?
You can name the papers you hung, as a fact about the job. Don’t imply you are an official stockist or partner unless the supplier has agreed to it.
Do I need professional photos?
Good phone photos in daylight, taken straight on, work well. Wide shots of the whole wall plus one detail shot of joins or pattern matching are ideal.
