I began learning the wallcovering trade at the age of 12, working summers with my dad, pasting wallpaper, learning to match patterns, and even covering light switch plates. Those early years gave me a foundation in the patience, precision, and craftsmanship that professional wallpaper installation requires.
In 1990 I founded Bernau Designs. Since then my work has taken me from wallpaper installation and faux finishing into scenic art — Nuclear Cowboyz and Disney on Ice for Feld Entertainment — and onto a film set, where I was credited in the art department as wall dresser on Jeff Daniels’ Super Sucker, shot in Michigan in 2001. My installations have appeared in interiors published by The Detroit News Homestyle and The Macomb Daily.
I also created Wallcoverings, an iPhone app that calculates the number of wallpaper rolls needed for a project and was featured by The UK Telegraph in its 30 Best Property Apps. Today, I bring that same attention to detail and craftsmanship to every wallpaper and wallcovering installation.
Over the years, I have worked with many talented individuals—from designers to builders to those who are constantly perfecting their craft or trade.
Someone once asked me, “What does it take to do a great wallpaper job?” My response was, “Pride—pride and a love or passion for what you do.” Pride, because my name is attached to my work, and my work reflects who I am. Love, because it’s what drives you to stay late at night and rise early in the morning.
I believe there is a common thread among those who excel in their fields. What sets them apart is their pride in their work and a deep passion for what they do.
Thank you! I have learned something from each and every one of them along the way!

Before you hire a wallpaper installer — and especially before you order your wallpaper — you need to know how much material the job actually requires. Wallpaper is not measured like paint. Roll width, roll length, wall height, pattern repeat, and pattern match can all affect how much paper you need.
After decades of measuring and installing wallpaper, I created focalScan to make that first step easier.
I’ve worked with wallpaper and wallcoverings since I was 12 years old and founded Bernau Designs in 1990.
