How do custom wallpaper murals work?

Custom murals are made to fit your wall, printed to order, and delivered to you ready for installation.

1. Measuring for a Mural

  • Measure the width of the wall at the widest point.
  • Measure the height of the wall at the tallest point.
  • Add 5cm to both your width and height measurements to allow for cutting and trimming during installation.
  • If your wall isn’t perfectly square, always measure at several points (top, middle, bottom for width; left, centre, right for height).

Providing accurate measurements ensures the mural covers the entire wall without gaps.


2. How the Ordering Process Works

  • Once you order, the mural is custom printed based on the size you provided.
  • Most mural orders do not include a proof unless specifically requested. If you need a proof, contact us before placing your order.
  • Lead time: Printing usually takes 3–4 weeks before shipping.

3. Installation Notes

  • Murals are supplied in numbered panels (e.g., Panel 1, Panel 2, Panel 3) and must be installed in order.
  • Walls should be smooth, clean, and primed before installation.
  • We recommend using a lining paper for the best finish, especially on imperfect walls.
  • Allow the mural panels to slightly overlap onto adjacent walls if trimming into corners.

4. Return and Refund Policy for Murals

  • Because murals are printed specifically for you, they are non-returnable and non-refundable unless they are faulty.
  • Double-check your measurements carefully before ordering.
  • We cannot accept returns for change of mind, incorrect measurements, or installation mistakes.

5. Materials and Printing

  • Most murals are printed on high-quality non-woven wallpaper.
  • Paste-the-wall installation method is recommended unless otherwise stated.
  • Murals are designed to be durable, easy to hang, and removable when needed.

6. Special Cases

  • If you have sloped ceilings, multiple walls, or unusual wall shapes, contact us first for advice.
  • We can often help you adjust the design layout for tricky spaces.
