Wallpaper Prices in Kenya

Wallpaper price list in Kenya (2026)

Most Nairobi suppliers, including us, measure your walls at no charge before quoting.

What affects the price of wallpaper in Kenya

Four things move the price. The design and quality of the wallpaper is the biggest driver: plain and budget patterns sit near KES 800 per roll, standard prints run KES 1,500 to 3,500 per roll, while textured, vinyl and imported designer prints climb toward KES 5,330 per roll. Heavier vinyl and washable finishes cost more than paper because they last longer and wipe clean, which suits hallways and children's rooms. The coverage area sets how many rolls you buy, and because each roll covers about 5 square metres, the rolls you need equal your wall area divided by 5, then rounded up to allow for pattern matching. A large repeat pattern wastes more at each join than a small one, so a bold design can push the roll count up. Whether installation is included changes the figure, since fitting runs KES 500 to 800 per roll on top of the material, and a supply and installation quote folds both into about KES 600 per square metre. Finally, wall preparation matters, and cracked, damp or uneven walls need patching and priming before hanging, which adds to a proper job and protects the finish.

Wallpaper price by type

Wallpaper is priced two ways in Kenya, per roll and per square metre. Per roll is how the material is sold: budget designs from KES 800, standard designs KES 1,500 to 3,500, and premium or designer prints from KES 3,500 to 5,330 per roll. Across all designs the average roll lands between KES 1,600 and 5,330, and one roll covers about 5 square metres of wall. Installation is charged separately at KES 500 to 800 per roll, covering the trimming, alignment and hanging that keep patterns matched at every seam. Supply and installation together are often quoted per square metre at about KES 600, which bundles the material and the labour into one figure and makes it easy to compare rooms of different sizes. For a single feature wall behind a bed or a TV, the per-roll method is clearest, while for a whole room or an office the per-square-metre figure is easier to budget against. Both methods reach the same total once the roll count and wall area are set.

How to budget and get an accurate quote

To budget, measure the width and height of each wall to get the area in square metres, then divide by 5 to find the rolls needed, and round up. Multiply the rolls by the per-roll design price, then add KES 500 to 800 per roll for fitting, or use the KES 600 per square metre installed figure as a quick estimate. A 15 square metre feature wall, for example, needs three rolls. That gives a rough number, but wallpaper is ordered to your exact walls and pattern repeat, so the accurate figure comes from a measured survey. We offer a free consultation and measurement across Nairobi, then give a fixed KES quote. For the full service, see our wallpaper installation page, or get a free quote for your walls.
