Our new flat had blotches all over the walls, especially our living room. It looked so tacky and grave that my sister and I decided to put up wallpapers. I can tell you a rough estimate of how long to wallpaper a room but it depends on several factors that you should consider. Depending on these factors, it might take 3 to 4 hours or an entire day.

How Long Should It Take to Wallpaper a Room?
Before you take a rough estimate, it’s important to consider the following factors.
Designs
Complex designs can lead to more time in setting up the wall. We used a water lily design that took us a few hours to prepare the wall before sticking the wallpapers. It also depends on the kind of wallpaper you choose. If it’s a self-sticking wallpaper, it’s quicker to install, whereas traditional adhesive wallpaper needs additional glue.
Wall Condition
Our wall looked extremely soiled and grimy. So, we cleaned up the entire wall first, which took us around 2-3 hours. If your wall is damaged and needs fixing or additional cleanup, consider getting it fixed before you stick a wallpaper.
Room Size
Our room was 180 square feet, so it took us quite some time to cover the entire room. This is the major factor you should consider when determining how long does it take to wallpaper a room.
Bigger rooms require more wallpapers and you have to cut and align the designs that can take a few hours.
Experience
If you’re a beginner and don’t have prior experience, it might take even longer, perhaps, an entire day. It was our first time redecorating the room, so it took us a whole day, from preparing the wall, to applying primer, to finally, sticking the wallpaper.
If you don’t have much time, consult a professional. These are some of the factors that will affect the duration of installing a wallpaper. I hope this answers your query on how long to wallpaper a room.
