Your Instructor
Lauren Buckholtz
Lauren isn't a classroom instructor who learned wallpaper installation from a textbook. She's a working professional who installs luxury wallcoverings in the South's most beautiful homes every single week.
As the founder of Perla Paperhanging and Perla Fine Wallcoverings, Lauren has built a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship and an eye for perfection that her clients trust with their most important spaces. Her work has been featured in Garden & Gun.
Now she's opening her school and sharing the techniques, problem-solving skills, and professional knowledge that took years to develop. In four days, you'll learn what most installers take years to figure out on their own.

Teaching Philosophy
Learn by Doing
“I believe the only way to truly learn wallpaper installation is to feel the material in your hands and work through challenges in real time, alongside an experienced professional, to develop instincts that no video can teach.”
“Every student who comes through Perla Wallpaper School will get full attention. That's why I keep classes small — because becoming great at this craft requires personal guidance, honest feedback, and the freedom to make mistakes in a supportive environment.”
