Wallpaper is having its moment again in DC interiors — and the difference between great wallpaper and forgettable wallpaper is sourcing and installation. Pannello supplies wallpaper from the European houses your designer is already specifying, hand-samples in our showroom, and installs with paperhangers who care about seams.
Why Pannello
Sourcing matters as much as the paper
Most US-sold wallpaper is digitally printed in short runs on cheap stock. The European houses we work with print on heavier non-woven backing, with longer dye runs and better color saturation. The difference is visible across a room.
- Real European wallpaper stock
- Hand-sampled in your light
- Installed by craft paperhangers

From clients & designers
What people say after living with their Pannello cabinetry.
"Pannello drew our Georgetown kitchen the way an architect would — full elevations, real material samples, no salesperson with a tablet. The chimney chase that we had been trying to hide for ten years is now the most elegant element in the room."
Lauren O.
Homeowner · Georgetown
"The Pannello team turned around our Dupont condo kitchen in four weeks of fabrication and four days of install. Clean, on time, and the finish quality matched what we were specifying for clients in our own design practice."
Marc D.
Interior Designer · Dupont Circle
"We had eight contractors quote our McLean closet program. Pannello was the only one that drew it before quoting it. The drawings became the spec, and what got delivered matched the drawings exactly."
Sarah K.
Homeowner · McLean
Frequently asked
Questions clients ask before booking.

Can you wallpaper a powder room ceiling?
Yes — and powder room ceilings are one of the most rewarding places to use a strong pattern. The smaller surface area lets you commit to a bolder paper without overwhelming a larger room.
