Best Material for Abstract Wallpaper

The overall impact of Abstract Wallpaper depends on more than the artwork itself, making wallpaper material an important part of the selection process. Colour transitions, fine brushwork, geometric forms, and layered textures can appear differently depending on wall smoothness, room lighting, viewing distance, and the surrounding interior. Considering these practical factors before ordering helps create a finished result that reflects the intended design and reduces uncertainty during installation. If you are unsure how the artwork will appear in your space, ordering a sample is a worthwhile step. Compare the available wallpaper materials below to make an informed decision for your project.

How to Measure

Measure the full wall at its widest and highest points, including doors, windows, sloped ceilings, stairs, cabinets, mirrors, electrical sockets, and other fixed features. Enter your exact wall width and height. Our production team automatically adds a 2-inch (5 cm) safety margin for precise trimming, ensuring a perfect fit during installation.
For unusual walls or additional examples, follow our wallpaper measuring guide.


  1. Standard Wall

    Measure the widest width and tallest height.

  2. Walls with Obstacles

    Measure the full wall. Ignore doors, windows and other obstacles.

  3. Sloped Walls

    Measure as a complete rectangle. Excess wallpaper is trimmed after installation.

  4. Stairs

    Measure the vertical height and horizontal width. Do not measure diagonally.

Installation

Simple steps for the best long-lasting results

  1. PREPARE THE WALL

    Ensure the wall is clean, dry, smooth and stable. Remove dust, grease, loose paint and old wallpaper. Repair any holes or cracks.

  2. CHECK PAINT

    The paint should be fully cured (minimum 3–4 weeks). Use a matte or eggshell finish. Avoid fresh, damp or peeling paint.

  3. ALIGN & APPLY

    Check the panel order and pattern alignment, then apply each panel carefully with a soft smoother to remove bubbles and secure the edges.

  4. DRY & SET

    Allow the wallpaper to set for 24–48 hours. Avoid washing, heavy cleaning or placing items against the wall during this time.

ROOM CONDITIONS: Install wallpaper in normal room conditions on a clean, dry, smooth wall with fully cured paint. Avoid very cold, hot, humid, damp, or freshly painted surfaces for the best long-lasting result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I place an abstract mural?

It can be placed behind a bed, on an office wall, along a hallway, or in an entryway. Abstract murals often act as statement pieces, so using them in visible areas may allow them to create the most impact.

Does abstract wallpaper go out of style?

Not usually. Since abstract design doesn’t rely on specific trends or themes, it tends to stay relevant longer. Choosing timeless color palettes or minimalist styles may help keep the look fresh for years.

Can abstract wallpaper be used in professional settings?

Yes, many abstract murals are suitable for offices, studios, or creative spaces. Linear or soft organic shapes can create a stylish backdrop that feels modern without being distracting.

What colors are best for abstract wallpaper?

That depends on the mood you want to create. Neutrals and pastels can offer calm and sophistication, while bold colors like cobalt, mustard, or deep green may add energy. It can be helpful to match mural colors with existing accents in the room.

Can abstract murals work in minimalist homes?

Yes, especially when you choose clean, geometric patterns or soft gradients. Abstract murals may enhance minimalist interiors by adding personality while still maintaining a simple, uncluttered look.
