Best Material for Surface Wallpaper

Achieving a convincing Surface Wallpaper finish starts with selecting a material that supports the intended visual effect within your space. Printed textures, tonal depth, and large-scale surface patterns are influenced by wall smoothness, lighting conditions, viewing distance, and the location of the feature wall. Assessing these factors before ordering helps reduce uncertainty and ensures the finished design reflects the character you expect. If your wall has visible imperfections or variable light throughout the day, ordering a sample is worthwhile before comparing the available wallpaper materials 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.
