Why choose RCP Wallpaper
5.0 stars across 131 Google reviews
Reviewers keep naming the same things: clean seams, patterns that line up, and a space left tidy. The average has held at a perfect 5.0.
Over 10 years installing wallpaper
A decade of walls means the awkward ones are familiar territory — textured surfaces, tight corners, two-story stairwells. None of it is a first attempt.
Patterns that actually match
Seams disappear and patterns line up, even on a full-wall mural. Clients notice, and they say so in their reviews.
Murals & feature walls
A room built for a statement
Because a dining room isn't touched constantly the way a kitchen or hallway is, it can handle a more delicate material than a high-traffic space would allow — grasscloth, fabric, or a hand-printed mural all hold up fine here.
Living room wallpaper often gets planned in the same visit when the two rooms share sightlines in an open floor plan.
A dining room close to the kitchen sometimes extends right into kitchen wallpaper too, for one cohesive look across both spaces.
What's included
Murals, grasscloth, and patterns that repeat
A dining room wallpaper installation in New Jersey is usually about one thing: the room where people sit still long enough to look at the walls.
Murals arrive as numbered panels that only work if they are hung in order and aligned by hand. Grasscloth has visible seams by nature, so the panels are sequenced by shade to keep the transition from reading as a mistake.
- Mural panels sequenced and aligned by hand
- Grasscloth panels matched by shade before hanging
- Seams planned around windows and furniture lines
- Chair rail and wainscoting edges cut clean
What goes on the wall
Materials for a room seen at eye level
Dining rooms are looked at while people sit still for two hours under low, raking light. It is the least forgiving lighting condition in a house.
Wall murals and panel sets
Numbered panels that form one image. The wall gets measured and checked for square before the order goes in, because a mural is cut to your wall specifically. Half an inch of drift across six panels is visible from the doorway.
Grasscloth and natural fibers
Sisal, jute and hemp bonded to a paper backing. There is no pattern repeat to line up, so the craft is in the sequencing: panels are reversed to even out the natural shading between rolls, and paste never reaches the face — on grasscloth a smudge does not clean off.
Fabric, silk and textiles
Linen, silk and paper-backed textiles are the least forgiving surfaces in the trade. They go over a liner where the wall calls for it, and the seams are double-cut so the weave reads continuous instead of stopping at every panel.
How the work is done
Wall preparation, pattern alignment, and seams
The pattern is what gets noticed on day one. These three stages are what the wall still looks like years later, and they are the ones a cheap quote is usually leaving out.
Wall preparation
Old paper comes off, holes and cracks are filled and sanded flat, and the wall gets a wallcovering primer — not the leftover paint primer. That primer is what lets a panel slide into position while the paste is still wet, and what lets the paper strip off cleanly years later without tearing the drywall face. Textured walls get skim-coated or lined first, because texture reads straight through the finished paper.
Pattern alignment
Every roll is checked for match type — straight, half-drop or random — and the vertical repeat is measured before the first cut, so the pattern is not discovered short halfway up a wall. The first panel goes to a plumb line, never to the corner, because no corner in a real house is plumb. Where the pattern has to break, the break lands where the eye does not travel.
Seam finishing
Seams are butted, never overlapped, and double-cut on vinyl and textiles so the two edges meet exactly instead of shadowing. Paste that reaches the surface is cleaned while it is still wet. Corners are cut and restarted on a fresh plumb line rather than wrapped around — wrapping a corner is what sends a pattern running downhill across the rest of the room.
Dining rooms are lit low and sideways, and raking light from a chandelier finds every seam and every flaw left in the wall underneath. This is the room where skim-coating before the paper pays for itself.

Why hire us
Why hire RCP Wallpaper for dining room wallpaper installation in New Jersey
A dining room is a room guests actually study — seated at a table for an hour, facing the same wall. Seam placement and pattern alignment get extra attention here, since a flaw at eye level during dinner doesn't go unnoticed.
Every quote is priced on the real room, never a flat rate. Chair rail height, window placement, and whether you're going with a mural or a repeating pattern all change the plan, so the number you get is based on your actual walls.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is a dining room a good place for a wall mural?
Yes, it's one of the best rooms for it. Low daily wear means a delicate mural material holds up fine, and it's a room people actually sit and look at.
Do you install wallpaper around chair rails or wainscoting?
Yes, that's routine, and it gets factored into the material amount during the site visit.
How long does dining room wallpaper installation in New Jersey take?
Most dining rooms are done in a day. Murals that have to line up across panels take longer, since each drop is placed by hand. You get a time estimate along with your quote, before anything is booked.
Can you match the dining room to an adjoining living room?
Yes, and it's a common request in open floor plans. Bring up the full layout when you request your quote.
What wallpaper materials work best in a dining room?
Grasscloth, fabric, and printed murals all do well here since the room doesn't see the daily wear a kitchen or hallway does. We can walk through the options with you.
Do you remove old wallpaper from a dining room before installing new paper?
Yes, removal and any needed wall repair happen before the new material goes up.
