Best Material for Vintage Wallpaper

Choosing the right wallpaper material is an important step in achieving the authentic character of a heritage-inspired interior. Vintage Wallpaper often features subtle colour variation, delicate illustrations, aged textures, and intricate pattern details that can be affected by wall smoothness, natural and artificial lighting, viewing distance, and feature wall placement. As experienced wallpaper manufacturers, we encourage customers to consider these practical factors before ordering to reduce uncertainty and achieve the intended visual effect. If your wall condition is uncertain, ordering a sample is advisable. Compare the available wallpaper materials below to make a well-informed decision 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

Is floral vintage wallpaper still in style?

Yes, floral vintage murals are making a big comeback. Especially large-scale, faded flower prints in muted tones. They work well in bedrooms, dining areas, or even powder rooms, bringing romantic and nostalgic vibes.

Can you mix vintage and modern decor?

Absolutely. This contrast is actually a top interior trend. A vintage mural with antique flair pairs beautifully with minimalist furniture, clean lines, and neutral fabrics to keep the space fresh, not outdated.

How do I make vintage wallpaper look elegant?

Choose soft color palettes and pair with quality textures. Think velvet curtains, brass finishes, marble accents, or crystal lighting. Keep clutter to a minimum so the mural becomes a refined backdrop, not visual noise.

Is vintage wallpaper good for feature walls?

Yes—it’s perfect. Vintage murals work best on a single statement wall behind a bed, sofa, or dining table. This draws attention without overwhelming the room.
