Artistic Master Bathroom in Boulder: Wide-Width Wallpaper Installation in $8.5M Estate
This Boulder luxury bathroom required expert installation of wide-width designer wallpaper featuring a complex abstract pattern. The homeowners of this $8.5 million mountain estate wanted to transform their guest powder room into an artistic statement, selecting an intricate design in turquoise and coral tones with architectural elements that demanded precision pattern matching.
The project presented unique challenges with near-meter-width rolls (approximately 39 inches) and a pattern requiring center-out installation technique. Our team set up a full preparation station in the garage for large panel cutting and pattern testing. We arrived early, protected all surfaces, removed light fixtures, outlet covers, towel bars, and toilet paper holders, then assessed the unprepped walls to ensure proper adhesion on the 10-foot ceiling height surfaces.
Working as a dedicated two-person crew with no breaks, we completed the entire 395 square foot installation in just 7.5 hours. The project manager from Kari Whitman Interiors was stunned - he had scheduled us for two full working days based on the pattern complexity. The precision of our corner seams and pattern alignment across multiple walls exceeded all expectations, leading to two additional project collaborations with this prestigious Boulder design studio.
Project Gallery: Installation Process
BEFORE - Initial Condition
Our team arrived at this Boulder luxury estate early in the morning and immediately began preparation for the wide-width wallpaper installation. We set up a full staging area in the garage for cutting and testing the near-meter-width panels. The guest powder room walls were unprepped, requiring assessment and surface preparation to ensure proper adhesion for the complex pattern.
We removed all outlet covers, light fixtures, towel bars, and toilet paper holders to ensure clean edges and professional finish throughout the 10-foot tall walls. All flooring and fixtures were protected with film, and the workspace was organized for efficient installation of the intricate abstract pattern wallpaper. The preparation phase was critical given the complexity of the center-out installation technique required for this artistic design.
The careful preparation and methodical approach meant we could focus entirely on precise pattern alignment and seamless corner work rather than dealing with surface issues mid-installation. This attention to detail allowed us to complete the 395 square foot project in just 7.5 hours—half the time expected by the design team from Kari Whitman Interiors.
INSTALLATION BEGINS
Installation began with our center-out technique - the European method essential for complex abstract patterns. We established a precise center point on the main wall and worked outward in both directions using laser levels to ensure perfect vertical alignment. The wide-width panels (approximately 39 inches) required careful handling and positioning, with each seam demanding millimeter-perfect accuracy to maintain the intricate pattern flow.
The abstract design featured overlapping architectural elements in turquoise and coral that had to align seamlessly across panels. Working as a dedicated two-person crew, one installer positioned and aligned the large panels while the other ensured pattern matching and smooth adhesion. The 10-foot ceiling height added complexity, requiring constant repositioning of equipment while maintaining focus on the intricate pattern details.
Our garage preparation station proved critical - having all panels pre-cut and pattern-tested allowed us to maintain momentum during installation. Each panel was positioned, checked for pattern alignment, and carefully smoothed to eliminate any bubbles or imperfections. The non-stop work pace and European precision techniques kept us on track for the ambitious same-day completion timeline.
DETAIL WORK
The detail phase is where European training truly shows. Every corner required meticulous trimming and pattern alignment - the abstract design couldn't tolerate even slight misalignment without breaking the visual flow. We used specialized tools to ensure clean cuts around the toilet area, along baseboards, and at the ceiling line, all while maintaining the integrity of the complex turquoise and coral pattern.
Corner seams were particularly challenging with this wide-width material. The near-meter panels meeting at room corners had to align perfectly so the architectural elements continued seamlessly across the fold. This is where rushed installation fails - we took the time to ensure each corner was executed flawlessly, with pattern elements flowing naturally from one wall to the next as if printed on a continuous surface.
Throughout the 395 square foot installation, we maintained obsessive attention to every seam, every edge, every corner. The project manager from Kari Whitman Interiors later told us he'd never seen corner work this clean on wide-width patterned wallpaper. This level of craftsmanship - combined with our efficient workflow - allowed us to complete in 7.5 hours what was scheduled as a two-day project.
FINAL RESULT
When we finished and reinstalled all the fixtures, the project manager from Kari Whitman Interiors was stunned.
He'd scheduled us for two full working days. In his experience with this type of complex pattern-matching wallpaper, that was the realistic timeline. He'd never seen a crew complete this level of work in a single day.
The quality of the seams, the pattern alignment, the clean corners - everything exceeded expectations.
And here's the thing about doing exceptional work: it leads to more work. This project resulted in two additional collaborations with Kari Whitman Interiors. When designers see craftsmanship they can trust, they come back.
