Wall Panels and Wallpaper · Santa Monica, CA
We turned a spare bedroom into a nursery with custom wainscoting on the lower walls, crisp white trim and patterned shark wallpaper above.
Finished The homeowners wanted to turn an extra bedroom into a nursery. Their plan had three parts: custom wainscoting panels on the lower half of the walls, trim painted a crisp white, and a patterned shark wallpaper on the upper half.
The challenge with a design like this is the details. Panels have to line up, caulk lines have to be clean, and a busy wallpaper pattern has to match across corners and around the window.
The wainscoting runs along the lower half of every wall, with raised panel molding and a clean white finish. Above it, the blue shark wallpaper fills the upper walls with whales, sharks and coral in navy, white and orange. The wood look plank flooring warms up the room.
This kind of project fits our interior painting and interior remodeling services. For layout drawings and permit paperwork, see design, plans and permits.
Panels and wallpaper look simple, but the small details decide how the room looks.
In general, a project like this follows a set order. The wall panels and trim go up first. Then the caulking, priming and painting of the trim are done. The wallpaper goes on last, so it does not get marked during the paint and carpentry work. The scope and order depend on your room, and we confirm them with you in writing.
The homeowner described a multi step process that stayed stress free, with daily check-ins from their main point of contact. If your project has several stages, ask us how we plan to keep you updated.

We hired Juda Builders to turn our extra bedroom into a nursery, and they completely brought our vision to life. The scope involved installing custom wainscoting panels on the lower half of the walls, painting the trim a crisp white, and hanging patterned shark wallpaper on the top half.
The precision of their work is incredible. Getting wallpaper patterns to line up perfectly across corners and around a window frame is notoriously tough, but the seams are entirely invisible. The wainscoting molding lines are completely flush and tightly caulked, giving the room a beautiful, high end architectural finish.
Usher was our main point of contact, and he made the entire multi step process stress free with daily check-ins. The crew was remarkably efficient, polite, and cleaned up every speck of dust before wrapping up. We couldn't be happier with how this turned out and will absolutely use them again!

A common guideline is about one third of the wall height, but the right height depends on the ceiling, the windows and the style. This nursery has wainscoting on the lower half of the walls, with wallpaper above. We help you choose the height during planning.
Yes. Large patterns need careful planning so the design lines up at the seams, corners and window frames. The homeowner said the seams on this project were invisible. Tell us the pattern when you ask for an estimate, because pattern size affects how much paper is needed.
Usually, yes. Walls need to be smooth, clean and primed so the paper sticks and shows no flaws underneath. We check the condition of your walls during the estimate.
Wainscoting protects the lower walls, which is where scuffs happen, and wallpaper adds color above. It also gives you a design that grows with the child. Ask us about washable finishes and low odor paint when you plan the room.
Cosmetic work like this often does not, but rules vary, and HOA or rental rules may apply. If your project includes other work, Juda Builders handles permits as part of its service. See design, plans and permits.
