Best Material for Feature Wallpaper

A well-planned feature wall deserves more than the right design, as the wallpaper material also influences how the finished installation complements the room. Feature Wallpaper is often chosen to create a visual focal point, making wall condition, lighting, viewing angles, surrounding décor, and the scale of the design important considerations before ordering. Reviewing these practical factors helps avoid unexpected results and ensures the finished wall matches your expectations. If you are uncertain about your surface or lighting, ordering a sample can provide added confidence. Compare the wallpaper materials below to find the most suitable option 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.
