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.

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 is a contemporary wallpaper mural?
A contemporary mural reflects current design trends, often with abstract shapes, clean lines, neutral tones, or bold geometry. It brings a fresh, gallery-like feel to interiors and evolves with style shifts.
How is contemporary wallpaper different from modern or minimalist?
Contemporary design is more fluid and trend-responsive, blending elements of modern, minimalist, industrial, or even artistic expression. It may include softer curves, experimental textures, or bold simplicity.
What colors define contemporary wall murals?
You’ll often see soft neutrals (gray, beige, taupe), black-and-white contrast, muted greens, and occasional bold accents like terracotta, navy, or gold.
Can contemporary wallpaper fit into a classic or transitional home?
Yes. A well-chosen mural with subtle abstract patterns or tone-on-tone designs can add modern freshness without clashing with traditional elements.
How do I style a room around a contemporary mural?
Use sleek furniture, natural textures, warm lighting, and a few sculptural accents. Let the mural set the mood—whether it's bold energy or quiet sophistication.
