Wallpaper in Korea is very very popular. I have never seen so many apartments that have wallpaper. In fact, I think it's the country's standard. I'm used to European households that use mainly plastered walls. Wallpaper is usually quite expensive. But not in Korea!!!
You can wallpaper every single wall in your house and change it every year! Besides having a very broad range of different brands, designs, qualities, colors etc., the Korean wallpaper shops can help you with the service and have very cheap labour costs.
Originally we wanted to change the wallpaper in one little small room for our coming baby, but then looking at the prices of the paper and the service we decided to renew the walls in the entire living room too.
The fastest way to choose Wallpaper is if you go to the Wallpaper street in Seoul. You can find a bunch of wallpaper shops one next to the other in the city center. Take the subway number 2 or 5 to Euljiro 4 ga Station and go to exit 6. Immediately at the exit you will find the first shops. It's up to you then to choose the right one for your needs.
We choose a very simple paper and we paid 18.000 Won per roll. For the whole living room we needed 4 rolls. If you need less rolls, the shops will take the one you didn't use back. You only pay for what you use.
Usually you pay per day and not per "walls". They work very fast so in four hours they did the whole living room and the smaller baby room. We only had to move the furniture aside, they did the rest. In total we paid 120.000 Won for 2 guys work. We even thought of doing the rest of the apartment after this good experience.
If you need to know in detail to which shop we went please leave a comment and I'll be happy to help you!
