“Although the cost of wallpaper can vary widely depending on quality, embossing, brand name, and material, the average cost falls somewhere between $15 (Kenya shillings 1600) and $50 (Kenya shillings 5330) per roll. The following is how much you can expect to pay for different tiers of wallpaper
- Lower Priced Budget Wallpaper – $9.99 (Kenya shillings 165) to $24.99 (Kenya shillings 2664) per single roll (Norwall, Some York Resource Catalogues, Advantage, Some Brewster Brands)
- Medium Priced Wallpaper – $24.99 (Kenya shillings 2664) to $49.99 (Kenya shilling 5330) per single roll (Most York Brands, Joanna Gaines, Ashford House, Chesapeake, Warner)
- Higher Priced Designer or Grasscloth Wallpaper – $49.99+ (Kenya shilling 5330+) per single roll (Wall quest, Antonina Vella, Candice Olson, Stacey Garcia, Ronnald Redding, A-Street Prints, Schumacher, Ralph Lauren, European Boutique Brands)
The cost of installation will be a bit more once hanging supplies such as sponges, rollers, brushes, paste (if needed), and blades are figured in. A 10×10 square foot room should require about 6 rolls. So on average, for a room about that size, you can expect to pay $90 (Kenya shilling 5595) to $100 (Kenya shillings 10662) plus the cost of supplies”.
The cost of wallpaper should reflect the quality
You should judge the cost of wallpaper according to the wallpaper quality and the design. The most expensive wallpaper is entitled ‘Les Guerres D’Independence’ (The Wars of Independence) and in January 2006 was priced at £24,896.50 ($44,091, or €36,350) for a complete set of 32 panels – each measuring 3.8 m (12 ft 5 in) high and 0.47 m (18.5 in).
We stock the best quality and we offer the best wallpaper prices. So how do you judge the quality of wallpaper for walls? One is the material quality and the second is the Wallpaper Design. Wallpaper companies sell design.
There are those wallpaper manufacturers who invest more in design than others. However, you will notice some wallpaper stores in Kenya overprice their wallpaper to impress viewers.
Hoping to make the wallpaper look more valuable. Sometimes this works, but usually only when the customer is naïve or when the wallpaper design is spectacular and gets the attention of serious interior decorators.
How Marketers cheat on the cost of wallpaper
Other wallpaper marketers frequently disguise the cost of wallpaper by adopting a “high quality, low price” appeal in advertisements.
However, the price-quality inference theory implies that this contextual appeal may not be well-accepted to be true. Because it contains two contradictory cues: high quality and low price.
But at Wallpaper Kenya you will get a lower quality design at a low price while a premium design will cost you more. Wallpaper quality & price must always tally.
The cost of wallpaper in Kenya per square meter
On average, the cost of wallpaper of high-quality standard size at Wallpaper Kenya is Sh. 1800. The wallpaper price of a customized mural is Sh. 2000 per square meter. We are direct importers and these are the best prices you can get anywhere in Kenya. All over the world, the universal standard size is 53 centimeters by 9.5 meters.
Therefore a standard-size wallpaper, if plain, will cover an area of approximately 0.53 meters multiplied by 9.5 meters. That is roughly 5 square meters. Divide our wallpaper price, Sh. 1800 by the area covered. You will find that the price of the material wallpaper is less than Sh. 400 per square meter. But that does not include the cost of expert installation. Which is Sh. 100 only per square meter for wallpaper bought from Wallpaper Kenya.
If your desired design falls under the Kenya Shillings 1800 per roll supply only, the total cost for supply and installation will be Sh. 2300 per roll. It will therefore cost you roughly slightly less than Shillings 500 per square meter all-inclusive, supply and installation. Likewise, the Shillings 800 per roll supply only will cost you a total of 1300 per roll all-inclusive.
You can therefore see that there is a big cost saving by buying from Wallpaper Kenya. However, if you have your wallpaper bought from elsewhere, we will charge you Kenya shillings 800 for professional installation.
The cost of wallpaper murals in Kenya
Compare the cost of wallpaper with the cost of the mural. At the price of Kenya Shillings 2000 per square meter, murals are the most expensive of all wallpaper. But it can cost you even more depending on the cost of acquiring the artwork or the image. Kenya shillings 2000 is what you pay to cover the raw material that your mural will be printed on. The cost of printing and installation is also covered therein.
The value of the shilling 2000 includes the cost of the silk cloth that the mural is printed on. This is one of the highest-quality of all wallpaper materials. It pays that you can remove and reuse the mural wallpaper. In other words, you can move house with the wallpaper.
But the highest value for mural wallpaper is that it is customized. That means you get exactly what you require without comprise. That is unlike ordinary wallpaper in that you pay less but you are limited in choice to what is in stock. Furthermore, ordinary wallpaper is limited in what can be achieved.
You can not, for instance, achieve a truly natural wallpaper in ordinary wallpaper.
