Even the smallest redecorating project can seem daunting, but Webster Wallpaper Paint & Blinds, on Webster Avenue and Fordham Road, has promised its customers for the last 60 years to help them achieve any interior design plan.

Thanks to what the family-run business calls “a third generation of return shoppers,” the store, which began as a one-room wallpaper establishment in 1950, has grown to offer one of the largest in-stock selections of wallpaper and borders in the country.

“People appreciate being able to shop at a neighborhood store that has better prices and selection than the big-box stores,” said Webster’s owner, Edward Nerenberg.

In addition to its impressive selection of wallpaper, Webster also offers a wide variety of window treatments and prides itself as being a Benjamin Moore “Signature Store,” offering the respected brand’s full line of paints.

In commemoration of its 60th year in business, Websters also recently underwent its own makeover with new exterior paint, lighting and signs. But, those aren’t the only changes customer can see. The store now offers many “green” choices.

“Webster carries everything from eco-friendly paint and organic wallpaper to energy efficient window treatments,” said Nerenberg. Nerenberg believes these new options will ensure the store’s future. “I know this can only happen if we do our part today to give the younger generations a livable tomorrow,” he concluded.
