Paul Thomas decorates homes across Bournemouth: hallways, stairs and landings, bedrooms, kitchens and lounges, with wallpaper hung to a meticulous finish.

Worth the wait, and tidy every day

Paul Thomas is a painter and decorator in Bournemouth who takes on whole floors and single rooms alike. Hallways, stairs and landings are his most reviewed jobs, and his wallpapering gets a mention again and again.

Customers talk about the prep as much as the finish: cracks and stains filled, woodwork sanded, then a smooth, clean result. He helps with colour and wallpaper choices too.

Paul has a waiting list, and as one customer put it, "I would wait for Paul than let anyone into my property."

Halls, stairs and landings

The job Paul is asked for most. Walls, ceilings, spindles, banisters and skirtings, often with a feature wallpaper on the stairs. Customers say a hallway that was tired and bland now feels like a different house when they walk in.

Wallpaper hanging

From bold bird and peacock prints to soft botanical papers, feature walls and full rooms. Patterns are lined up carefully so the finished wall looks right from every angle. Wallpapering is one of the most mentioned topics in his Google reviews.

Interior painting

Bedrooms, lounges, dining rooms, kitchens and whole flats painted, with walls and woodwork prepared first. Paul has turned spare rooms into home offices, nurseries and children's bedrooms, and leaves each room clean and tidy at the end of the day.

Colour and wallpaper advice

Not sure which colour or paper to pick? Customers say Paul offered options, helped them choose the perfect wallpaper and suggested finishes such as a colour wash. He listens to your vision for the room and gives honest advice along the way.

Prep, repairs and water damage

Cracks and holes in ceilings and walls filled, stains covered and woodwork sanded before any paint goes on. Paul has also redecorated lounges and downstairs toilets after leaks, so the room looks fresh again once the water damage is put right.

Exterior windows and woodwork

Outside windows, sills and frames painted so the house looks cared for from the street. One customer had the windows and sills of their cottage repainted over 11 days and was delighted with the careful result.

We recently had our hallway and a bedroom transformed by Paul. From the first visit to the end of the project, Paul was efficient, very professional and took on board our vision for both rooms. He arrived promptly each morning and worked to a very high standard, offering solutions and options along the way and paid attention to every little detail. Paul was respectful of our home, tidied up each day and adapted to the needs of our indoor cat. We are delighted with the end result and would definitely consider booking Paul to work on other rooms in the future.

Wow, I am so thrilled with the work Paul has completed over the last 2 weeks, it was so worth the wait. He has painted and wallpapered the Hall, Stairs, Kitchen, Dining Room and even fitted in a water damage repair in the lounge. All of the work has been done to absolute perfection. Paul is so professional, friendly and totally trustworthy, he arrives on time and when leaving at the end of the day everything is left clean and tidy. I would 100% recommend Paul and will definitely use again.

Amazing work!! Paul came round and gave us a very reasonable quote for our lounge and master bedroom.

We had a rough idea of what we wanted but Paul was great with offering advice on paint choices etc..

He fit us in with really short notice and the work was carried out and completed in just 3 days whilst continuing with other work!

We absolutely love the result and can’t wait to get the rest of the house done!

Would definitely recommend Paul to anyone, thanks again!

Paul started decorating for us a year ago where we required painting and wall papering. We had never met Paul before or knew of his ability. I can whole heartedly say that Paul is the best decorator we have ever had work for us. His work is impeccable, his professionalism is way above the bar and his project close out is next to none. Paul has a waiting list but to be honest I would wait for Paul than let anyone into my property. You won't be disappointed.
