How to Order Mural Wallpapers with a Single Image (Non-Repeating Pattern)

When ordering mural wallpapers with a single, non-repeating image, it’s important to plan carefully. Unlike traditional patterns, a full-wall image requires precise wall preparation, accurate measurements, and special attention to the installation process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure everything goes smoothly.

1. Check Wall and Ceiling Evenness

Before ordering mural wallpapers, make sure that:

• The walls are even and free of major irregularities or defects. Uneven walls or slanted ceilings can distort the image and complicate installation.

• The room’s corners and angles are as close to 90 degrees as possible. If there are deviations, take them into account during measurements and installation.

If your wall has an irregular shape (e.g., slanted ceiling):

Measure the height from the highest point of the wall. This will ensure that the entire surface is covered and any deviations can be adjusted during installation.

2. Take Accurate Measurements

A single, full-wall image requires precise measurements:

• Measure the width and height of the wall in multiple spots — at the edges, center, and any irregular areas.

• Account for any variations in ceiling height or wall shape.

3. Add Extra Margin

To position the image correctly and avoid alignment errors, add an extra margin:

• Recommended margin: 2 inches (5 cm) on all sides — top, bottom, left, and right.

• This extra space is crucial for irregular walls or slanted ceilings.

Important Note: Some manufacturers automatically include this margin in their production, but it’s essential to confirm this before placing your order. If the margin isn’t added, request it explicitly.

4. Choose a High-Quality Image

When working with a single large image, quality is key:

• Resolution: Ensure the image is high-resolution to avoid pixelation when enlarged to fit the wall.

• File format: Use suitable formats like TIFF, JPEG, or PNG.

• Seamless panels: For larger walls, ask the manufacturer how the image will be divided and how the panels will align.

5. Communicate with the Manufacturer

Before placing your order, discuss these points with the manufacturer:

• Whether they include the extra margin in your measurements.

• How the image will be divided into panels (if applicable).

• Any specific recommendations for installation.

6. Wallpaper Installation

When installing mural wallpapers:

• For slanted ceilings: Start from the highest point and align the image carefully.

• Ensure the image is perfectly positioned before fixing it to the wall.

• Trim any excess margin after the wallpaper is applied.
