Installing glitter wallpaper can feel intimidating — especially if you’ve never worked with a statement wallcovering before. That’s exactly why we created our new installation video: to show that, with the right preparation and technique, installing real glitter wallpaper is both achievable and straightforward.
To make sure the guidance was genuinely useful, we worked with Phil Beckwith, a professional painter and decorator with extensive hands-on experience. Phil led the installation process from start to finish, sharing the same practical approach he uses on real jobs.
Why we asked a professional to make the video
Rather than producing a polished, over-edited demonstration, we wanted the video to reflect how glitter wallpaper is installed in the real world.
Phil’s involvement ensured the video focuses on:
- Correct wall preparation
- Accurate setting-out of the first drop
- Professional techniques for neat butt joints
- Clean trimming and finishing
These are the details that make the difference between a good finish and a great one.
What the installation video covers
The video walks through each stage clearly and calmly, including:
- Preparing walls for a smooth, even surface
- Applying adhesive correctly and consistently
- Hanging the first drop with precision
- Butt-joining panels for a seamless appearance
- Trimming edges around doors, ceilings, and sockets
There’s no rushing — just clear, methodical guidance based on professional best practice.
Confidence for DIYers and professionals alike
Whether you’re a capable DIYer or an experienced installer, seeing the process carried out by a professional removes uncertainty. Glitter wallpaper doesn’t require specialist tools — it requires care, patience, and preparation.
As Phil demonstrates, once those fundamentals are in place, installing glitter wallpaper is no more complicated than hanging any other premium wallcovering.
Designed to support the best possible result
The aim of the installation video is simple: to help customers achieve a flawless finish first time.
Combined with ordering samples beforehand, the video bridges the gap between choosing a colour and enjoying a finished glitter wall that looks exactly as intended — no surprises, just confidence.
Watch before you start
We always recommend watching the installation video before beginning your project. It sets expectations, highlights key details, and gives you a clear understanding of what’s involved.
Good preparation leads to great sparkle.
