Substrate inspection
Before hanging the wallpaper, we checked the walls, corners and junctions so that the textured covering would sit on an even surface.

Wallpaper in a Porto Montenegro apartment
Hanging 80 m² of premium Italian wallpaper in a Porto Montenegro apartment. We used 8 rolls at €300 each and replaced MDF skirting with polyurethane skirting.
Materials and details
Texture, seams and junctions create a coherent finish. A seaside apartment has another important requirement: consistent ventilation.
Premium Italian wallpaper: 8 rolls, costing 300 euros per roll.
MDF skirting was replaced with modern polyurethane skirting.
Tiles were cut around door frames, switches, sockets and skirting.
The apartment's heat-recovery ventilation maintains air exchange, important for finishes in a coastal climate.
Work progress
From checking the substrate and hanging 80 m² of wallpaper to finishing openings and replacing MDF skirting boards with polyurethane ones.
Panel layout
We arranged the panels across the main surfaces, accounting for openings, corners and electrical points in advance.
Wallpapering walls
We papered the walls in sequence, maintaining the texture direction and discreet seams between adjacent strips.
Openings and electrical points
We carefully trimmed around door frames, sockets, switches, skirting and balcony glazing.
Replacing skirting
We removed the MDF skirting, installed modern polyurethane skirting and finished corners and junctions.
Key considerations
Air circulation
In Montenegro's climate, wallpaper cannot be considered separately from ventilation. Without consistent air exchange, humidity and mould risk increase, and finishes may need renewing in about a year. This apartment's heat-recovery ventilation was installed before wallpapering.
Electrical points
Textured wallpaper requires precise joining and trimming around switches, sockets and door frames.
Junctions
Polyurethane skirting is installed after wallpapering, with precisely fitted joints, corners and junctions.
