Best Material for Traditional Wallpaper

The enduring appeal of Traditional Wallpaper depends on preserving refined pattern detail, balanced colour, and harmonious proportions within the room. From a manufacturer's perspective, the finished appearance is influenced by wall smoothness, natural and artificial lighting, feature wall placement, and how the design relates to surrounding furnishings. Evaluating these practical considerations before ordering helps reduce uncertainty and supports a more confident buying decision. If your wall has visible imperfections or receives changing 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a traditional wallpaper mural?

Traditional murals feature classic motifs like damask, toile, chinoiserie, floral vines, and scenic landscapes. They reflect timeless elegance and often draw inspiration from art history and vintage textiles.

Is traditional wallpaper still in style?

Yes. Traditional wallpaper has made a strong comeback—especially in modern classic and maximalist interiors. When styled thoughtfully, it can feel both nostalgic and fresh.

What colors are common in traditional wallpaper murals?

Think warm neutrals, deep navy, burgundy, sage green, ivory, and gold. These shades are often paired with intricate detailing and muted contrasts for a rich, layered look.

Is traditional wallpaper too busy for small spaces?

Not necessarily. Choose light-toned or tone-on-tone patterns to keep the room feeling open. Small-scale floral or toile designs can actually make compact rooms feel more intentional and styled.

How do I decorate around a traditional mural?

Use timeless materials like wood, velvet, brass, and ceramic. Layer with textiles, curated antiques, or classic lighting to maintain a harmonious, heritage-inspired feel.
