The question “How do you feel about wallpaper?” helps uncover a client’s comfort level with bold patterns, textures, and long-term wall treatments.
Why it’s important:
- Style personality: Wallpaper can be dramatic and expressive, or subtle and textured — knowing whether a client loves or dislikes it sets the tone early.
- Commitment factor: Unlike paint, wallpaper is more permanent and harder to change, so the client’s willingness to commit matters.
- Budget impact: High-quality wallpaper and professional installation can be costly compared to paint.
- Room function: Some wallpapers work best in accent walls, entryways, or powder rooms; others are designed for high-moisture areas like bathrooms.
Example client answers:
- “I love it — especially bold patterns in small spaces.”
- “Only subtle, textured designs, nothing too loud.”
- “I’m not sure; I’ve never tried it before.”
- “No thanks, I prefer paint for flexibility.”
Pro tip: Always follow up with:
- “Would you like wallpaper for a full room or just an accent wall?”
- “Do you prefer patterned or textured wallpaper?”
If you want, I can create a Wallpaper Inspiration Board with different styles — from minimal linen textures to maximal tropical prints — so clients can easily decide where they stand. Would you like me to make that?
