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.

MUTED WALL MURAL

Muted wallpaper murals are ideal for those who prefer harmony over high contrast. Their refined style pairs beautifully with minimalistic or natural interiors, and they create a visual rhythm that relaxes the eyes. These murals don’t just blend in—they bring balance, texture, and depth in a gentle, sophisticated way. From cool greys to warm neutrals, every shade is carefully muted to inspire serenity.

 

Why Choose a Muted Wallpaper Mural?

Muted wallpaper murals are timeless in both tone and feel. They work seamlessly in rooms that aim for comfort, elegance, or simplicity. Because their colors are softened, they don’t fight with furniture, décor, or natural light. Instead, they adapt. They’re perfect for spaces where boldness isn’t the goal, but atmosphere is everything.

These murals also support different moods—tranquil, cozy, clean, or warm—depending on the palette you choose. And whether you’re updating a single wall or redesigning an entire room, muted tones make the transition effortless.

 

Types of Muted Wallpaper Murals

Muted murals come in a variety of formats and finishes to suit your lifestyle and design goals.

Peel and Stick Muted Murals

Peel-and-stick murals make decorating simple. You can apply them in minutes and remove them without damage. They’re ideal if you enjoy changing your space without the hassle of tools or glue. With no mess and no long-term commitment, they’re both convenient and stylish.

Looking for soft, removable options? The Soft Tones Wallpaper Mural collection offers just that.

Non-Woven Muted Murals

Made to last, non-woven murals are durable, breathable, and easy to apply. They’re ideal for long-term updates in living rooms, bedrooms, or commercial spaces.

The Elegant Neutrals Wallpaper Mural collection includes designs that feel grounded and timeless.

Textured Muted Murals

Muted tones with tactile finishes—such as linen, concrete, or watercolor textures—bring subtle dimension to your walls. Their soft, grounded tones make them a natural fit for spaces filled with wood, stone, or woven textures. They don’t clash—they connect.

For a natural finish, try something from the Minimal Earth Wallpaper Mural collection.

Commercial Muted Wallpaper Murals

Muted murals are a popular choice for businesses that want to feel polished yet welcoming. In boutiques, cafés, offices, or wellness centers, they create a relaxed mood without distracting from the brand or function.

The Warm Wallpaper Mural collection is especially suitable for professional spaces with soft lighting and calm atmospheres.

 

Where to Use Muted Wallpaper Murals

Muted wallpaper murals are incredibly versatile and can shape the mood of many types of rooms. Their soft style complements both personal and professional spaces, adding comfort and refinement wherever they’re placed.

Bedroom

Muted murals help turn bedrooms into peaceful retreats. Their quiet tones ease the mind and promote restful sleep. From soft beige to grey gradients, they support a gentle wind-down at the end of the day.

Living Room

In living rooms, muted designs create harmony without taking over. They make the space feel open and curated, providing a calm backdrop for furniture, art, or lighting.

Home Office

For workspaces, muted wallpapers support focus and reduce visual clutter. They help define the room without being distracting, which makes them perfect for productivity.

Entryway or Hallway

Even transitional spaces can benefit from muted murals. These designs bring subtle character to entryways, making the home feel thoughtful right from the start.

Commercial Interiors

Muted murals are an excellent option for commercial settings. Whether in hospitality, retail, or wellness environments, they add texture and style without overwhelming the space or brand identity.

 

How to Choose the Right Muted Mural

Start by considering your room’s purpose. Do you want it to feel relaxing, structured, or open? Choose tones that match the desired mood. Greys and greens feel cool and refreshing. Warm taupes and blush tones bring coziness. Look at how much light the space gets, and think about whether a subtle texture or pattern might enhance the room’s depth.

Muted murals work well with neutral furniture but can also balance bold elements if you already have color in the room.

Tips for Installation

Installing a muted mural is usually simple, especially if you prepare well:


  • Start with a clean, even surface—no dust, no bumps, no moisture. A solid foundation means better results.


  • Measure carefully to align patterns and avoid gaps


  • Use a smoothing tool to press out any air bubbles


  • Take your time—especially with textured or gradient designs

A mural from the Refined Texture Wallpaper Mural collection rewards patience with a flawless, peaceful finish.

Maintenance and Care

Muted murals are made for everyday life. You won’t need to fuss over them—just simple care now and then is enough to keep them looking just as beautiful as day one.


  • Dust regularly with a dry microfiber cloth


  • Most of the time, a damp microfiber cloth does the trick—no need for anything fancy or chemical-heavy.

  • Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading


  • If the space sees a lot of daily activity, go for durable options like non-woven or commercial-grade materials—they're built to last and stay sharp over time.

With basic care, your muted mural can stay beautiful for years.

Let Subtle Beauty Set the Tone

Muted wallpaper murals transform your walls without overwhelming them. They help your space feel calm, intentional, and quietly elegant. Whether you want to recharge, reflect, or refocus—these murals offer a timeless solution that speaks softly but stands out.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I check whether muted 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 dusty green, faded blue and clay pink; 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 muted wallpaper look dull or muddy 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 muted wallpaper?

Start with oak, charcoal and natural textiles. 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 muted 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 muted and pastel wallpaper collections?

The muted collection is organized around dusty green, faded blue and clay pink, while the pastel 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 muted 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.
