Custom Wall Size
Any wallpaper mural can be customized for your wall. You decide the exact size and how you want to crop it.
Standard Wall:
To ensure a perfect fit, measure the entire height and width of your wall. Please provide us with the exact dimensions of the surface you want to cover, excluding any skirting boards or coving. Double-check your measurements before sending them to us.
Sloped Wall:
For walls or ceilings with slopes, measure only the longest and widest parts, disregarding the slopes. We will provide the mural as a complete rectangle or square, and the slope will be cut away during installation.
Pitched Wall:
If your wall has two slanted sections, identify and measure the longest parts in both width and height. Once again, we will create your mural as a square or rectangle, and the necessary cutaways will be made during installation.
Wall with Obstacles:
When there are doors, windows, or other obstacles on your wall, measure the total width and height of the wall. The obstacle will be cut away during the hanging process. If you have additional measurements, a photo, or a rough plan, feel free to send them to us. We can incorporate the position of the obstacle into your proof image. It's easy!
Multiple Walls:
If you plan to wrap the wallpaper around multiple walls, simply add up the widths of each wall and provide us with a single measurement when placing your order. There's no need to order the mural as separate pieces.

Will the colors be exactly the same as what I see on the screen?
There can be some variation between computer/phone screens and the final printed product. This is due to individual brightness and color intensity settings. Also, There may be differences in color depending on the material.
Which rooms work best with black and white wallpaper?
Entries and corridors gain definition, living and dining areas get a clean structure, and a powder room can carry a bolder motif without overwhelming daily spaces. For bedrooms, select softer contrast or a smaller repeat, and in a home office, prefer simple stripes or grids that stay composed on camera.
How do I style black and white wallpaper with furniture and decor?
Start with warm wood and textured fabrics to soften contrast, then repeat one accent color in two or three places to tie the scene together. Keep large textiles near solid or near solid tones so the wall can lead, and use a mirror or a warm metal lamp to lift the balance. This approach works particularly well in minimalist interiors. Avoid stacking competing large-scale prints directly at the seams.
What makes floral decals practical compared with a full wallpaper roll?
They arrive as separate printed pieces with a removable adhesive, so you place only what you need and leave open wall where it helps the room breathe. This flexibility makes them especially practical for nurseries where design needs change frequently. Traditional rolled wallpaper requires seam alignment and covers the entire surface, while decals allow selective accents and easy editing of the composition.
What wall finish and room conditions help decals adhere reliably?
A smooth, clean, dry surface works best, ideally, paint in eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss. Let fresh paint cure for at least two weeks, wipe with mild soap and water, allow it to dry completely, then finish with a light isopropyl alcohol wipe. Avoid heavy texture, dust, and damp areas like bathrooms, since edges may lift.
Can I lift and move a decal after placing it, and how should I remove it months later?
Minor adjustments are possible during the first session if you lift slowly from a corner and reseat the piece. This flexibility makes decals especially popular for nurseries where designs change as children grow. For removal later, warm the decal gently with a hair dryer for about twenty seconds and peel back at a low angle while supporting the wall. On sound, primed paint, this usually comes off cleanly, but testing a small spot first is sensible.
How do I map out a balanced arrangement before sticking the pieces?
Lay the set on the floor, build a cluster you like, and take a quick photo for reference. Mark faint pencil guides on the wall, tack larger blooms with painter’s tape, and step back a few paces to judge spacing. This method works well whether you're creating a romantic or modern composition. When satisfied, apply from the center outward, smooth to push out air, and press along every edge so each piece sits flat.
How do geometric wall decals differ from patterned wallpaper in day-to-day use?
Decals are separate shapes with a removable adhesive, so you place only what you need and leave open wall between elements. This makes them popular for playrooms where you can adjust the design as children grow. Wallpaper arrives in panels and covers the surface continuously with matched seams. If you want a small grid or a single band around a room, decals give that control without a full wrap.
What wall conditions help geometric decals stay flat, and how should I prepare the surface?
A smooth, clean, dry wall finished in eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss works best. Allow new paint to cure fully, wash with mild soap, rinse, let it dry, then make a quick pass with isopropyl alcohol so oils are gone. This careful preparation is especially important for minimalist interiors where every line must read cleanly. Heavy texture, dust, or moisture can lift edges and break straight lines.
Can I adjust placement after I start, and what is the careful way to remove decals later?
Minor shifts are possible during the first session if you lift a corner slowly and reseat the piece. For removal months later, warm the shape gently with a hair dryer and peel back at a shallow angle while supporting the wall with your free hand. This clean removal works well in apartments where you may need to restore walls when moving. On sound, primed paint this is usually clean, but test a discreet spot first.
How can I keep spacing even and lines true while installing a geometric set?
Mark a light pencil grid or use a laser level, then set two reference points to keep everything square. Cut a simple spacer card, for example 5 centimeters or 2 inches wide, and use it between shapes as you work. This precision is essential for achieving the clean look typical of Scandinavian interiors. Step back a few paces after every few pieces, confirm alignment, and press around each edge so the geometry stays crisp.
In what cases are nature wall decals a better pick than wallpaper?
Decals come as separate leaves, branches, birds, or landscape elements, so you place only what you need and leave open wall where it helps the room breathe. They suit rentals, quick refreshes, and small zones like nurseries that may change later. Wallpaper works for full coverage with a continuous repeat, while decals are about building a scene piece by piece.
What surface prep gives reliable adhesion for nature decals?
Use a smooth, clean, dry wall finished in eggshell or satin. Let new paint cure for at least two weeks, then wash with mild soap, rinse, and allow it to dry completely. Finish with a light wipe of isopropyl alcohol to clear oils and dust, and avoid heavy texture, damp corners found in bathrooms, and chalky paint.
Are nature decals removable, and can they be reused?
Removal is usually clean on sound, primed paint, making them ideal for apartments where walls must be restored at move-out. Warm a corner with a hair dryer on low for about twenty seconds and peel back slowly at a shallow angle while supporting the surface. Reuse is not guaranteed, since the adhesive loses strength once lifted, so plan as if each piece is single-use.
How can I compose a balanced nature scene without cluttering the wall?
Lay the set on the floor, photograph a layout you like, and transfer simple pencil guides to the wall. Keep the largest elements lower or near a focal point, let smaller pieces taper outward, and leave five to eight centimeters between clusters. This layered approach works particularly well for tropical compositions. Step back a few paces after every couple of pieces, adjust spacing, then press along every edge so each decal sits flat.
What are nursery wall decals, and how do they differ from wallpaper?
They are standalone printed elements that you apply individually to shape a scene or edge detail. If you prefer full coverage with a continuous pattern, nursery wall mural comes in strips that blanket the wall from edge to edge, while decals allow you to build compositions piece by piece.
Are nursery wall decals suitable and safe in a baby’s room?
Choose indoor materials and apply them to a stable, clean wall so edges sit flat. Keep small pieces out of reach and position designs above the crib line to prevent pulling. Popular themes include animals, clouds, and soft botanicals that create a calming atmosphere. If sensitivity is a concern, place a single sample piece, air the room, and check for any reaction.
How should the wall be prepared, and which paint finishes hold decals well?
Work on a smooth, dry, dust free surface. Eggshall or satin paint that has fully cured gives a reliable base. Wash with mild soap and water, allow the wall to dry, then wipe lightly with isopropyl alcohol to remove residue. This preparation works equally well for playrooms and bedrooms. Avoid heavy texture and damp corners, since edges may lift there.
What is a careful method to take the decals down later without scuffing paint?
Warm one corner with a hair dryer on low for 20 to 30 seconds. Lift that corner and pull the decal back slowly, keeping it nearly parallel to the wall. This removable quality makes decals particularly practical for apartments or rental homes. Test on a hidden patch first if the finish is delicate. During the first install you can lift a corner and press it down again to adjust placement.
What is abstract wallpaper, and why use it on a feature wall?
It is a non-figurative design built from color fields, geometric elements, or gestural marks. One statement wall adds structure and mood without tying the room to a specific motif, so future furniture or art changes still fit.
Is abstract wallpaper suitable for small rooms, and which patterns help most?
Yes, if scale and contrast are under control. Soft gradients, light grounds, and flowing shapes read open, while tight, high contrast blocks feel closer. For compact spaces, consider minimalist compositions that keep the wall from feeling busy. Order samples, tape them up at eye level, and check them in daylight and evening light.
Which rooms pair well with abstract wallpaper?
Living rooms and dining areas gain a clear focal point, bedrooms benefit from calmer repeats behind the headboard, and a home office reads clean on camera with ordered geometry. In narrow halls, keep patterns lighter so the corridor does not feel compressed.
How should I coordinate abstract wallpaper with furniture and art?
Let major pieces stay simple and repeat one or two colors from the print in smaller accents. Natural wood, stone, and matte finishes steady the scheme, while a single mirror or metal lamp lifts the composition without competing with the pattern.
What are antique wallpaper murals, and how do they differ from regular patterned wallpaper?
They are large-format scenes adapted from historic art, panels, or landscapes. Instead of a small motif that repeats, several panels align to form one continuous picture, so the wall reads as a single scene.
Which rooms work best with antique wallpaper murals?
They suit living and dining rooms, bedrooms, and entryways. Position the mural on the wall first seen on entry or behind a main piece like a sofa or headboard so the composition is easy to take in.
Can antique murals overpower a small room, and how can I prevent that?
They can if the contrast is strong or the print is very busy. Choose quieter palettes and scenes with depth that recede, keep nearby furniture simple, and leave a narrow band of plain wall or trim to frame the image. This restrained approach aligns well with vintage decorating principles.
How should I style antique murals with furniture and lighting?
Use the artwork to set the palette, then echo one or two tones in textiles or small accents. Natural wood, linen, and softly aged metal pair well with the French aesthetic often found in antique designs, and warm, diffused lighting keeps the surface even and free of glare.
What is apartment wallpaper, and why choose it for a rental?
It is a curated range suited to smaller rooms and rental rules, with patterns that add character without heavy color commitments. Scandinavian designs with their clean lines and neutral palettes work particularly well in rentals. Many designs are available in peel and stick for clean removal at lease end.
Will wallpaper make a small apartment feel cramped or larger?
Scale and ground color matter. Lighter grounds and modest repeats tend to open the view, while dense, high contrast prints feel closer. White and cream backgrounds are especially effective at maintaining an airy feel. Test a sample at eye level and check it in daylight and evening light before committing.
Can I install wallpaper in a rental without damaging the walls?
On smooth, primed paint, peel and stick is designed to be removable. Wipe the surface, let it dry fully, and avoid textured areas so edges seat properly. This approach works well in closets and other spaces where you want a refresh without commitment. Always check your lease and do a small patch test in a hidden corner.
Where does wallpaper work best in an apartment layout?
A single feature wall in the living room or behind the bed gives impact without crowding the space. Hallway niches and entry walls handle quieter patterns well, while kitchens and baths benefit from distance from direct splash and good ventilation.
What is autumn wallpaper, and what distinguishes it from other themes?
It uses fall cues such as turning leaves, low mist, bark textures, and warm earth palettes. The imagery emphasizes depth and soft gradients rather than hard outlines, so the wall reads calm and layered.
Will autumn wallpaper visually shrink a small room, and how can this be avoided?
It may if the print is very dark or tightly detailed. Choose a light ground, moderate scale motifs, and keep clear floor and wall sightlines. Cream and warm neutrals work especially well to maintain openness. Test a 50 by 50 centimeter sample and view it from two to three meters in both daylight and evening light.
Which placements work best in an apartment or house?
Primary sightlines in living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and entries. Behind a sofa, bed, or console, the scene is easy to read, and adjacent walls can remain plain to balance the composition.
How should it be coordinated with furnishings and lighting?
Pair with natural wood, linen, wool, ceramic, and matte paints. Repeat one or two tones from the print in textiles or small objects, and use warm, diffused lighting to keep color rendering even and avoid glare.
Which rooms are best for balloons wallpaper?
Nurseries and kids’ bedrooms work well with softer palettes and open sky around the motif. Playrooms handle bolder clusters. In living rooms or hallways, choose refined styles such as vintage airships or map details so the look reads more grown-up.
How do I choose the pattern scale for my ceiling height and key furniture?
For low ceilings, use smaller balloons with a generous background to lift the sightline. In taller rooms, a larger motif can sit behind a bed, sofa, or desk without looking busy. As a guide, the largest balloon should be about one-third of the anchor furniture height.
Can balloons wallpaper be used on the ceiling as well as the walls?
Yes. A light sky pattern on the ceiling with a simpler wall treatment creates height and keeps the room calm. Add a plain painted band or simple molding at the junction so the transition feels intentional.
How do I keep a balloons design from overwhelming a small space?
Choose a light ground, moderate spacing, and limit strong accent colors to a few balloons. Align seams so strings and clouds read as a single flow, and keep nearby textiles mostly solid to let the print lead without crowding the room.
How do I choose pattern scale and color for evening light around a bar?
Use a medium-scale print with clear gaps so bottles and labels stay legible. Mid to deep backgrounds tame reflections, while pure white tends to glare under warm bulbs. Art wallpaper with sophisticated compositions works particularly well in bar settings. Test a swatch under 2700 to 3000 K lighting, then repeat one restrained accent from the print in stools or glassware for cohesion.
Which materials hold up best near splashes or frequent cleaning?
Washable vinyl and quality peel-and-stick vinyl clean well on a smooth, well-primed wall. Keep any wallpaper outside the direct splash zone, add a short glass or acrylic guard behind the faucet, and wipe spills with a damp cloth and mild soap. Marble patterns are especially popular in bars for their elegant, easy-to-maintain appearance. Avoid paper-based finishes right beside sinks.
How should shelving and lighting interact with the wallpaper?
Keep shelves simple and leave a little negative space so key motifs remain readable. Align shelf heights with quiet areas of the print, then use warm dimmable lighting. Under-shelf LED strips give even bottle light and reduce harsh spots on the wall when compared with narrow spotlights.
Where does bar wallpaper make the most impact in a bar area?
Across the back bar wall as a continuous backdrop, on the bar face below the counter, or inside a soffit or niche to frame the zone. Chinoiserie designs create an especially sophisticated focal point behind the bar. Extend the pattern slightly wider than the bar and keep adjacent surfaces calmer so the feature reads cleanly.
Does black wallpaper make a room look smaller?
Not by default. In good light, dark walls tend to recede and add depth. Marble patterns on black backgrounds create especially striking depth through their natural veining. If you keep trim and larger pieces lighter, the space usually feels balanced. A mirror opposite a window helps too.
Is black wallpaper a good idea for a bedroom or a compact room?
Yes. Think soft lamps, lighter bedding, and a couple of warm textures like wood or boucle. The room reads calm and cocooned rather than heavy.
What colors actually work with black wallpaper?
Crisp white is easy. Cream, light gray, and warm wood soften the look. For cooler palettes, pale blue or dusty green sit well. If you want drama, chinoiserie designs with gold and jewel tones on black look rich without shouting.

They can if the contrast is strong or the print is very busy. Choose quieter palettes and scenes with depth that recede, keep nearby furniture simple, and leave a narrow band of plain wall or trim to frame the image. This restrained approach aligns well with vintage decorating principles.
How should I style antique murals with furniture and lighting?
Use the artwork to set the palette, then echo one or two tones in textiles or small accents. Natural wood, linen, and softly aged metal pair well with the French aesthetic often found in antique designs, and warm, diffused lighting keeps the surface even and free of glare.
What is apartment wallpaper, and why choose it for a rental?
It is a curated range suited to smaller rooms and rental rules, with patterns that add character without heavy color commitments. Scandinavian designs with their clean lines and neutral palettes work particularly well in rentals. Many designs are available in peel and stick for clean removal at lease end.
Will wallpaper make a small apartment feel cramped or larger?
Scale and ground color matter. Lighter grounds and modest repeats tend to open the view, while dense, high contrast prints feel closer. White and cream backgrounds are especially effective at maintaining an airy feel. Test a sample at eye level and check it in daylight and evening light before committing.
Can I install wallpaper in a rental without damaging the walls?
On smooth, primed paint, peel and stick is designed to be removable. Wipe the surface, let it dry fully, and avoid textured areas so edges seat properly. This approach works well in closets and other spaces where you want a refresh without commitment. Always check your lease and do a small patch test in a hidden corner.
Where does wallpaper work best in an apartment layout?
A single feature wall in the living room or behind the bed gives impact without crowding the space. Hallway niches and entry walls handle quieter patterns well, while kitchens and baths benefit from distance from direct splash and good ventilation.
What is autumn wallpaper, and what distinguishes it from other themes?
It uses fall cues such as turning leaves, low mist, bark textures, and warm earth palettes. The imagery emphasizes depth and soft gradients rather than hard outlines, so the wall reads calm and layered.
Will autumn wallpaper visually shrink a small room, and how can this be avoided?
It may if the print is very dark or tightly detailed. Choose a light ground, moderate scale motifs, and keep clear floor and wall sightlines. Cream and warm neutrals work especially well to maintain openness. Test a 50 by 50 centimeter sample and view it from two to three meters in both daylight and evening light.
Which placements work best in an apartment or house?
Primary sightlines in living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and entries. Behind a sofa, bed, or console, the scene is easy to read, and adjacent walls can remain plain to balance the composition.
How should it be coordinated with furnishings and lighting?
Pair with natural wood, linen, wool, ceramic, and matte paints. Repeat one or two tones from the print in textiles or small objects, and use warm, diffused lighting to keep color rendering even and avoid glare.
Which rooms are best for balloons wallpaper?
Nurseries and kids’ bedrooms work well with softer palettes and open sky around the motif. Playrooms handle bolder clusters. In living rooms or hallways, choose refined styles such as vintage airships or map details so the look reads more grown-up.
How do I choose the pattern scale for my ceiling height and key furniture?
For low ceilings, use smaller balloons with a generous background to lift the sightline. In taller rooms, a larger motif can sit behind a bed, sofa, or desk without looking busy. As a guide, the largest balloon should be about one-third of the anchor furniture height.
Can balloons wallpaper be used on the ceiling as well as the walls?
Yes. A light sky pattern on the ceiling with a simpler wall treatment creates height and keeps the room calm. Add a plain painted band or simple molding at the junction so the transition feels intentional.
How do I keep a balloons design from overwhelming a small space?
Choose a light ground, moderate spacing, and limit strong accent colors to a few balloons. Align seams so strings and clouds read as a single flow, and keep nearby textiles mostly solid to let the print lead without crowding the room.
How do I choose pattern scale and color for evening light around a bar?
Use a medium-scale print with clear gaps so bottles and labels stay legible. Mid to deep backgrounds tame reflections, while pure white tends to glare under warm bulbs. Art wallpaper with sophisticated compositions works particularly well in bar settings. Test a swatch under 2700 to 3000 K lighting, then repeat one restrained accent from the print in stools or glassware for cohesion.
Which materials hold up best near splashes or frequent cleaning?
Washable vinyl and quality peel-and-stick vinyl clean well on a smooth, well-primed wall. Keep any wallpaper outside the direct splash zone, add a short glass or acrylic guard behind the faucet, and wipe spills with a damp cloth and mild soap. Marble patterns are especially popular in bars for their elegant, easy-to-maintain appearance. Avoid paper-based finishes right beside sinks.
How should shelving and lighting interact with the wallpaper?
Keep shelves simple and leave a little negative space so key motifs remain readable. Align shelf heights with quiet areas of the print, then use warm dimmable lighting. Under-shelf LED strips give even bottle light and reduce harsh spots on the wall when compared with narrow spotlights.
Where does bar wallpaper make the most impact in a bar area?
Across the back bar wall as a continuous backdrop, on the bar face below the counter, or inside a soffit or niche to frame the zone. Chinoiserie designs create an especially sophisticated focal point behind the bar. Extend the pattern slightly wider than the bar and keep adjacent surfaces calmer so the feature reads cleanly.
Does black wallpaper make a room look smaller?
Not by default. In good light, dark walls tend to recede and add depth. Marble patterns on black backgrounds create especially striking depth through their natural veining. If you keep trim and larger pieces lighter, the space usually feels balanced. A mirror opposite a window helps too.
Is black wallpaper a good idea for a bedroom or a compact room?
Yes. Think soft lamps, lighter bedding, and a couple of warm textures like wood or boucle. The room reads calm and cocooned rather than heavy.
What colors actually work with black wallpaper?
Crisp white is easy. Cream, light gray, and warm wood soften the look. For cooler palettes, pale blue or dusty green sit well. If you want drama, chinoiserie designs with gold and jewel tones on black look rich without shouting.
