The cost of wallpaper installation in the Greater Boston area typically ranges from $3 to $9 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the project, the type of wallpaper material, and the condition of your walls. Factors such as pattern matching difficulty, ceiling height, and the number of obstacles (windows, doors, outlets) also affect pricing.
