I am looking into re-wallpapering my apartment, is there anywhere specific where I can go and buy/see wallpaper? I have tried g-market, but its hard to get a grasp on what it looks like on the internet. Tried Homeplus but they only had large wall murals and decals. Also - does anyone know if I can find someone to install it/is it cheap? I don't mind doing it myself, but if installation is cheap..
Thanks!

A place called Bangsan market is where we found the best deals on getting wallpapering done. Right outside of the subway are several places.

The closest subway station is Ulchiro-4-ga, and I THINK the best exit is exit #6 (을지로4가역 6번 출구).

Thank you! Do you happen to have an estimate for how much it cost you? i live in a typical box, so I was hoping the price wouldn't be too crazy.
Thanks!

Theres a whole industry built around guys coming in to slap up new wallpaper & lay down new flooring when apartments change hands, its commonplace. They work for cheap.

That depends on if you get cheap paper wallpaper or silk. I now get silk every time. It just looks so much better, but don't bother if you plan to live there a short time. Probably anywhere between 200,000 and 300,000 is my guess. There are so many variables. Bring the exact dimensions of your apartment and go there to get quick estimates and pick paper.

I just had 3 bedrooms wallpapered for less than 300,000 won. Usually you can find a place with wallpaper displayed. Pick out which one you want and they can give you an estimate and set a date to do it.
