Our Story
Beautiful walls.
Personal guidance.
Elite Wallpaper Shoppe was created around a simple idea: choosing wallpaper should feel inspiring, personal and enjoyable.
MEET ELITE WALLPAPER SHOPPE
A husband-and-wife team with an eye for what makes a room feel special.
We’re Maria and Benny Montalbano, the husband-and-wife team behind Elite Wallpaper Shoppe and Elite Painting Services Plus.
Our passion for beautiful interiors, quality finishes, and personal service inspired us to create a showroom where clients can feel inspired and confident in their design choices.
We believe the right wallpaper and paint can completely transform a space—whether you’re looking for something dramatic, timeless, calming, or completely unique.
At Elite Wallpaper Shoppe, we’re here to help bring your vision to life.
Maria Montalbano
The eye for style—and the person beside you through the process.
Benny Montalbano
Craftsmanship and a hands-on understanding of interiors.
Maria brings extensive experience in the retail garment industry, where her eye for design and understanding of customer service were shaped long before Elite Wallpaper Shoppe opened its doors.
Today, that experience translates naturally to wallpaper: listening to what a customer loves, introducing possibilities they may not have considered and helping narrow an overwhelming number of choices into something that feels right for the room and the person living in it.
Benny brings years of practical experience through Elite Painting Services Plus, working with interior finishes for homes and businesses.
His understanding of color, texture, preparation and finished spaces complements Maria’s retail and design perspective—giving Elite Wallpaper Shoppe a foundation that goes beyond simply selling wallpaper.
WHY A SHOWROOM MATTERS
You should see wallpaper before you fall in love with it.
Wallpaper is tactile. Color changes with light. Scale feels different on a wall than it does on a screen. Texture can be the detail that makes the entire room work.
That’s why our Malverne showroom is designed for browsing, comparing and discovering. Bring your photos, fabrics, paint colors or just an idea. We’ll help you explore from there.
