Entryways and hallways: first impressions.

The entry is the one room every guest sees and nobody sits in. It's built for pattern.

What works

Durable, bold, and trimmed around a lot of doors.

Entries and halls take bumps and fingerprints, so a vinyl-faced or heavy non-woven paper is the right material. They're also all edges — doors, closets, a stair — which makes the trimming the whole job. Bold patterns work because no one lingers; a two-story entry becomes a statement with a large-scale paper carried up the stairwell.

Stairwells are platform work and priced accordingly; a single-story hall is a straightforward day.
