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.

Installation
Simple steps for the best long-lasting results
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.
CHECK PAINT
The paint should be fully cured (minimum 3–4 weeks). Use a matte or eggshell finish. Avoid fresh, damp or peeling paint.
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.
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
What makes black and white murals timeless?
Black and white murals never go out of style because they rely on contrast rather than trend-driven color palettes. They create visual drama, elegance, and clarity—working well in both modern and traditional spaces.
Do black and white wallpapers make a room look smaller?
Not necessarily. Large-scale patterns or light-dominant designs (with white backgrounds) can actually open up a space. Vertical patterns or abstract designs can also create a sense of height or movement.
How do I clean a black and white wallpaper mural?
Most murals can be wiped with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. For extra safety, test a small area first. Avoid bleach or harsh cleaners, especially with matte finishes to prevent discoloration or shine differences.
What styles match black and white wallpaper best?
This color combo fits many styles: Scandinavian, Art Deco, industrial, modern farmhouse, and even boho. It adapts easily depending on how you layer textures, furniture, and lighting.
Are black and white murals suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?
Yes, especially in modern or minimalist settings. Choose vinyl or washable finishes for humid or splash-prone areas. Geometric or tile-inspired murals look particularly striking in these spaces.
