Artistic Wallpaper

Artistic wallpaper turns a full wall into a considered part of the room rather than a background surface. The collection brings together painterly abstracts, watercolor washes, botanical studies, expressive florals, graphic compositions, landscapes, textured effects, minimalist art, and contemporary color fields. Each design is made to measure for the selected wall and is available in Peel & Stick, Non-Woven, and Commercial Wallpaper materials, helping homeowners, designers, and businesses choose an artwork, scale, and finish suited to the space.

Best Material for Artistic Wallpaper

Selecting the right wallpaper material is an important part of presenting Artistic Wallpaper as intended, especially when the design features expressive brushstrokes, layered colour, or fine illustrative detail. Wall smoothness, natural and artificial lighting, viewing distance, and the surrounding interior can all influence how these visual elements are perceived after installation. Considering these practical factors before ordering helps reduce uncertainty and supports a finished result that remains true to the original artwork. If you are unsure how the design will appear in your space, ordering a sample is a practical choice. 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.

Where Artistic Wallpaper Works Best

A single feature wall usually gives artistic wallpaper enough space to be appreciated. Behind a sofa or bed, choose a composition that remains visible above the furniture line. In dining rooms and restaurants, broad movement and landscape formats can connect a long wall. In studios, galleries, salons, and reception areas, artwork with a clear focal point can establish atmosphere without requiring several separate framed pieces.
Small rooms do not require small artwork, but they benefit from controlled contrast and deliberate negative space. A large, simple form can feel calmer than many tiny details. Larger rooms can support stronger color, wider compositions, and more layered scenes, provided the main forms remain legible from the normal viewing distance.
For bathrooms or other humid interiors, use wallpaper only on suitable dry walls away from direct water and unresolved moisture. Strong sunlight can also change how colors are perceived over time, so placement, window exposure, and room lighting should be considered before choosing a highly nuanced palette.

How to Coordinate Artistic Wall Murals with Your Interior

Let the mural determine how much additional decoration the room needs. Detailed or colorful artwork works best with quieter furniture and fewer competing patterns. A tonal or minimalist design can support more texture through rugs, curtains, ceramics, plants, sculptural lighting, or upholstered furniture.
Avoid placing several unrelated artworks directly beside a full-wall composition. If framed art is needed, repeat a color, shape, or subject from the mural so the pieces feel connected. Mirrors can expand the effect, but their position should be checked carefully because they may reflect the busiest part of the design or interrupt the intended focal point.

Artistic Wallpaper for Homes and Commercial Interiors

In homes, artistic wallpaper is useful for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, home offices, reading corners, entryways, and open-plan spaces that need a distinct visual identity. The design can replace a gallery wall, soften an architectural surface, or introduce color without relying on many smaller decorative objects.
In commercial interiors, the artwork should support the brand and the way the wall is used. A hotel may benefit from calm, memorable imagery; a restaurant from a broad composition visible across the room; and a salon, studio, or boutique from artwork that photographs well without competing with mirrors, signage, products, or displays. Material performance and cleaning needs should be assessed alongside the design.

Order Custom Artistic Wallpaper

Choose the artwork first, then confirm the wall dimensions, focal placement, and material. Review where furniture, doors, windows, screens, lighting, and built-in features will sit. A sample is useful for checking color, fine detail, printed texture, and finish in the actual room before committing to the full wall. Once these decisions are confirmed, the artistic wallpaper is produced to the selected dimensions for a more balanced fit and cleaner panel alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I use an Artistic Wallpaper Mural?
