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

Do whimsical wallpaper murals make a room look bigger?

Yes. Light colors and smooth transitions help the wall recede, which creates a more open look. This effect is especially helpful in smaller nurseries, compact bedrooms, and narrow play areas.

Are whimsical murals suitable for bathrooms?

They can be used in bathrooms when printed on moisture-tolerant materials like Type II vinyl. This surface keeps the artwork clear under daily humidity and allows gentle cleaning.

What décor styles pair well with whimsical wallpaper?

Whimsical murals work with soft neutrals, warm wood accents, minimal furniture, and child-friendly décor. They also blend easily with pastel bedding, simple artwork, and natural fabrics.

How long does whimsical wallpaper last?

High-quality non-woven and Type II vinyl murals stay clear for many years with simple care. Light dusting and a damp cloth help maintain the print, while indirect light protects the tones.

Can I remove the mural without damaging the wall?

Non-woven murals remove more easily than traditional wallpaper. Peel-and-stick versions suit renters because they lift cleanly with slow, steady motion.
