Hollywood, FL Accent Wall Installation

The short answer

For a Hollywood accent wall, pick an unbroken surface, choose a paper that suits your home's humidity and light, and have the wall primed before hanging. Most single feature walls are completed in one visit.

Hollywood covers a lot of ground, from beachside condo towers along the coast to mid-century ranch homes and newer subdivisions farther west, across ZIP codes 33019, 33020, 33021 and 33022. An accent wall works in all of them, but the right paper, the right wall and the right prep change from one home to the next. True Wallpaper Installation comes down about 8 miles from Fort Lauderdale to hang single feature walls for Hollywood homeowners, and we keep the job focused: one wall, done precisely, in a day or less in most cases.

Three common Hollywood homes, three different approaches

In an east-side condo close to the beach, the obvious feature wall is often the one facing the balcony doors. It gets bright, salty air whenever the slider opens, and heavy sun for part of the day. A washable vinyl or a non-woven with fade-resistant inks makes sense here, and darker colors may need sheers to protect them.

In an older ranch house, the living room may have plaster over concrete block on exterior walls and drywall on interior ones. We usually steer the accent toward an interior wall, which stays drier and flatter, unless the client has a strong reason to choose an outside wall.

In newer two-story homes, tall stair walls and double-height great rooms are tempting. They make a striking feature but need scaffolding or tall ladders and careful planning of where seams fall at that height.

Picking a pattern you will still like next year

An accent wall is a smaller commitment than a whole room, so many people go bolder than they normally would. That is fine, but a few guidelines help the wall feel intentional rather than random.

  • Pull one color from the paper into a pillow, rug or artwork elsewhere in the room
  • Match pattern size to viewing distance: larger motifs for walls you see from across the room
  • Consider the trim: crisp white baseboards frame a dark paper; wood trim warms a botanical
  • Order a sample and tape it to the actual wall for a few days, morning and evening
  • Think about texture as well as print: a subtle embossed or linen look adds depth without busy pattern

Prep we do before hanging

The finished wall is only as smooth as what sits under it. We remove outlet covers and any hardware, patch holes from old shelves or TV mounts, and sand down paint drips and roller lines. Glossy or semi-gloss paint gets scuffed or treated so primer bonds. Then a wallpaper primer goes on edge to edge, slightly past the area the paper will cover.

If we notice signs of moisture, such as peeling near the floor or a soft patch under a window, we flag it before going further. In Hollywood, as in the rest of Broward County, summer storms can push water through older window seals and block walls, and paper over that kind of wall will not stay put.

The day itself

Plan for the paper to be in the house for a day before we arrive, still wrapped, in the room where it will go. When we get there we clear the wall, set drop cloths and work from a plumb line. The pattern is positioned so a complete motif sits near the ceiling, the strips are smoothed and trimmed, and the seams are checked from several angles in natural and lamp light. Covers go back on, scraps go in our bags, and you get a wall that is ready to enjoy that evening.

Keeping it looking right

Hold the air conditioning at a steady setting for the first several days while the adhesive cures. Over the long term, a home that stays cool and dry protects wallpaper through the wet months from May through October. If you leave during hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, set the thermostat to run rather than shutting it off.

We provide accent walls in nearby Dania Beach, Plantation, Wilton Manors, Lauderdale Lakes and Lauderhill as well.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you install accent walls in Hollywood high-rise condos?

Yes. Let us know your building's contractor rules, such as work hours or elevator booking, and we will plan around them.

Can an accent wall go on a ceiling instead?

Yes, a papered ceiling is a popular alternative feature, though it takes more setup than a standard wall.

Which wallpaper holds up best near the beach?

Washable vinyl and quality non-woven papers handle humidity and salt air better than delicate pulp or natural fiber.

Should the accent wall be the darkest wall?

Not necessarily. A light, textured paper can be just as effective as a dark one, especially in smaller rooms.

Which Hollywood ZIP codes do you serve?

All of them: 33019, 33020, 33021 and 33022, along with surrounding cities like Dania Beach and Plantation.
