This store is amazing!! If you've ever tried to shop for wallpaper online, just don't bother. It's time consuming, frustrating and completely pointless. You really need to be in person to see the true colors and texture. They have a ton of rolls on display and can easily cut you any sample you want! They also have all the swatch books and tables for you to peruse at your leisure. The ladies there were super friendly and helpful. This place is great. read more

I stopped by today to get some samples for 3 rooms I want to wallpaper. I was SO sad to see a sign on the door that Elizabeth Ann Brooks Carson had passsed away of cancer in Dec. 2025. I love to wallpaper my own home and office, and as a Realtor, have sent a lot of clients there. Elizabeth was always great to work with. I always walked out with lots of samples (which I always returned). She would have a great selection and variety of papers that could be purchased on the spot. Unfortunately, the current inventory and the variety of the in-stock inventory has dramatically been reduced. It is a shame that this wonderful wallpaper store is no longer what it was when Elizabeth was there. read more

Allen Funk's Wallpapers - 2nd office bathroom - Interior Design Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

See all

Buyer beware!!! Cannot return any roll with altered plastic container. Also, 20% restocking fee even if you walk out and back in the door. Manager is not customer friendly or flexible. Not my kind of retailer. Plenty of other sources of wallpaper with more friendly terms than "Allen Funk's". Too bad. Hope others read this and turn away. read more

REFERRAL OF WALLPAPER INSTALLERS - be cautious of referrals because Allen Funk is not aware of the behaviors of the installers they recommend. They have recommended Randy Roberts of Wallworx and his behavior is erratic, unreliable and plagued with dishonesty. Randy Roberts quoted $2700 for the job containing multiple areas: entrance, powder room hallways and staircase. He and Kat showed up on 3/25/2023 and started on the dining room. They took a 2 hour lunch at Showmars returned and completed the dining room and requested partial payment. Randy promised to returned to complete the entire job, gave me a dates and the GHOSTED me by not returning calls or text. He requested that his check be made payable to him personally instead of his business Wallworx. Beware - do not pay Randy Roberts anything up front unless you wish to lose your money. He is unreliable and has integrity issues. No matter how competent he is with installing wallpaper, it won't be worth it if he is untrustworthy. My designer had arrange for Randy to return on 4/16/2023. I spoke to her on 4/15/2023 and said I was not comfortable having Randy in my home given his erratic behavior. She said she communicated my concerns with Randy. Even after the designer informed Randy the night before that he was not welcomed in my home; Randy showed up at my house on Sunday morning (4/16/2023) requesting to hang the wallpaper. This is not normal behavior!!! If the designer tells you that the client no longer wants you on the job - why did Randy show up at my house. Allen Funk recommends Randy because of his 40 years of experience but they must be totally clueless about his customer service and erratic behavior. Now instead of paying $2700 for my project, I had to hire another wallpaper installer and my total cost was over $3000.00. I share this so no one else unsuspectingly gets caught in the web of Randy Robert's drama read more

Allen Funk's Wallpapers - Interior Design Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I was pleasantly surprised by the large, modern selection of wallpaper they have available. They have several rolls of in stock wallpaper where you can cut a small sample and a huge library of designer books that can be checked out. The sales ladies were super helpful and knowledgeable about the wallpaper. I was excited to finally place an order after looking at countless options online. Everything is 20% off the list price, which makes it worth ordering from them rather than purchasing via an online retailer. My wallpaper arrived two days after I ordered it and everything was perfect. I would highly recommend checking them out. read more

Full selections of wallpapers. Great customer service. Great referrals go installation. The best in the state.

This place has very beautiful and very expensive wallpaper. When I went to their store, they were very helpful at assisting me in picking out some fabulous wallpaper! They answered all my questions and helped me determine how much paper I would need for my coverage area based on my measurements. HOWEVER, what these people do not tell you (before you purchase the wallpaper) though, is that once you have purchased your wallpaper and are in possession of it, you will have a hell-of-a-time getting someone to hang the stuff! They put me in touch with 3 different wallpaper hangers, and let me tell you, each one was more flakey, completely lacking in customer care and downright inconsiderate than the last one. What a horrible experience hanging wallpaper is turning out to be for me (I will spare you the brow raising details). SUFFICE IT TO SAY, I WILL NEVER GET WALLPAPER INSTALLED AGAIN (not in the Raleigh area anyway). read more

I have been nothing but pleased with the service I have received from the staff at Allen Funk's. I was in numerous times over a two month period, just combing through wallpaper books. Told them what I had looked at on line and they had plenty of suggestions, and pointed me in the right direction for who may carry what I was looking for. They had no problem letting me just browse through the books at my leisure. They allowed me to check out books for a couple of days and ordered numerous samples from the manufacturer for me, with no problem. If something was back ordered or discontinued, they notified me immediately that the sample may be delayed or asked if there was another sample I would like to receive instead. They were able to take my wall measurements, estimate number of rolls and give me quotes per sample, and were even ready to suggest a hanger to come and install. Unfortunately, I have to cull down so many samples, I haven't chosen a pattern yet (Narrowed it down from 20 to 3) , but the folks at Allen Funk's have been patient, friendly, kind and understanding. Wallpaper is an investment in the decor of your home, and they have worked very diligently with me to ensure my satisfaction with my selection. I love this store and these people !!!!!!

Although I did walk in at 5:50 with a closing time of 6, I was treated discourteously. I asked if they carried the new peelable wallpapers, "No, we don't carry those." I went on to explain what it was hoping she could point me to a retailer that did carry it. "Like I said," as she raised her voice, "We DON'T carry it." Oh my, I promise to never walk in there again! read more

I have shopped with Allen Funk wallpaper for several years now. Susan and Elizabeth are always exceedingly helpful , pulling books and making suggestions. Getting ready to place probably my 5th or 6th order! Looking forward to my new paper and the excellent service as always! read more

This company installed my battery powered window blinds. I was given their name by the previous owner. I wanted them to replace some batteries in a spot that looked too high for our ladder. I never actually had them do work for me. I called several times and the person I spoke with said they would have their installer call me. He/she never did call me. In the end, my partner who is not afraid of heights stood on top of one of our ladders and changed the batteries. read more
