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

Is XWALLX bathroom wallpaper waterproof?

XWALLX bathroom wallpaper is intended for prepared dry walls and is not a waterproof surface for showers, wet rooms or repeated direct water contact.

Can bathroom wallpaper be installed over tiles?

Do not apply it directly over uneven tile or visible grout lines; the surface must be levelled, prepared and tested with a material sample.

How can I prevent bathroom wallpaper from peeling?

Resolve leaks and condensation, prepare a clean dry wall, use the appropriate material and maintain effective ventilation.

Can wallpaper cover a wall with mold or moisture damage?

No; mold, persistent condensation, damp drywall and peeling paint must be treated and completely resolved before installation.

How much ventilation does a wallpapered bathroom need?

The room needs enough ventilation to remove steam and allow walls to dry; wallpaper is unsuitable where condensation regularly remains on the wall.

How should bathroom wallpaper be cleaned?

Use a soft damp cloth for Peel & Stick or Non-Woven Wallpaper, while Commercial Wallpaper allows more frequent cleaning with mild soap and water.
