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
How can I check whether monochrome wallpaper has the right undertone for my room?
Order a sample and view it beside the room’s fixed finishes in daylight and after dark. Compare single-hue tonal, grayscale and low-contrast palettes; lamps, flooring and nearby paint can shift which undertone is most visible. Review the sample on the intended wall rather than holding it flat on a table.
Will monochrome wallpaper look flat or repetitive in my lighting?
It can if the wall receives limited daylight or the bulbs emphasize the mural’s dominant undertone. Test a sample under the room’s actual lighting, then use layered light and nearby lighter or warmer finishes to balance the effect. Large-scale proofs are especially useful for deep or highly saturated designs.
Which finishes work best with monochrome wallpaper?
Start with contrasting texture, wood and one controlled accent. Repeat one mural color in a small textile or accessory, and keep the largest furniture pieces quieter when the design is detailed. A sample board with flooring, paint and fabric is the safest way to confirm the palette before ordering.
Which wallpaper material should I choose for a monochrome mural in a high-contact space?
Choose by surface condition, installation method and expected wear—not by color alone. Compare XWALLX material specifications for cleanability, texture, adhesive type and permitted environments, and confirm the wall is smooth, dry and prepared. Ask for project-specific guidance when the wall is exposed to moisture, heat or heavy traffic.
What is the difference between the monochrome and black and white wallpaper collections?
The monochrome collection is organized around single-hue tonal, grayscale and low-contrast palettes, while the black and white collection uses a different dominant color family or palette logic. Some designs may overlap, so compare the full mural image and sample—not the collection label alone—before selecting.
What should I review before approving a custom-size monochrome wallpaper mural?
Confirm the finished wall width and height, any extra allowance requested by the installation guide, the crop, focal-point position, panel order and selected material. Also check where furniture, doors, windows and switches meet the artwork. Approve color from a physical sample because screens cannot guarantee printed color.
