How to measure walls for a mural

Step 1: Measure the maximum wall dimensions

Height: Measure from floor to ceiling (or the highest point) at several positions, especially the corners. Use the largest measurement to allow sufficient height.

Width: Measure the wall width at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the largest measurement to ensure full coverage.

 

Step 2: Add a safety allowanceInclude an additional 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) to both the height and width. This extra allowance helps accommodate slight wall irregularities and allows for trimming during installation, ensuring a seamless fit.

 

Step 3: Include doors and windowsMeasure the wall’s full height and width, including any doors or windows. The mural will be trimmed during installation to fit neatly around these features.

 

Step 4: Recheck your measurements

Measure everything again before placing your order. Double-checking helps prevent errors. Make sure all measurements use the same unit (centimetres or inches) and that your tape measure is accurate.

 

How to calculate how much wallpaper you need?

The information you need is:

  • The width of the roll is 70 cm

  • The length of the roll 10m

The width of your wall.
The height of your wall.

You need to calculate for each wall, and you will find out how many rolls you will need.

Always order more than you require to avoid miss matching colours.

 

I have run out of Fabric/Wallpaper, what should I do?

Precise colour matching cannot be guaranteed between different batches of product. Always order more than you require to avoid miss matching colours.

​​

Are colours consistent across different fabrics?

  • Colour variations are to be expected across different fabrics, despite using the exact same file.

  • Each fabric has a slightly different base colour, and may be printed using different print methods, which can lead to variations in the perceived colour.

  • In addition, the finish and weave of the fabric can have a big impact on the perceived colour.

  • In addition, different lighting can make colours appear different.

  • Our suppliers will endeavour to ensure there is a minimal colour variation between batches of printing, however there are circumstances that may cause differences when re-ordering.

Wallpaper colours

There can sometimes be a slight variation in the colour across different batches so please be sure to order the correct amount so we can supply you with rolls from the same batch. Ordering additional rolls at a later date may result in colour differences. 

 

We advise to always order samples of each desired pattern.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Our Hand-Painted Mural Process

​

1. Initial Consultation
The process begins with a conversation to understand your vision. Together, we’ll select the mural design you’d like hand-painted, finalise your colour palette, and choose your preferred substrate — either faux silk or metallic wallpaper. Following this, we’ll provide a detailed quotation along with samples for your approval.

​

2. Scheduling & Preparation
Once you’re happy with the quotation and samples, we’ll schedule your project. For murals painted directly on walls, we’ll arrange a date that suits your space. For murals created on substrates in our studio, timelines will be set accordingly.

​

3. Painting the Mural
All hand-painted murals are crafted using safe, non-toxic, low-odour paints. For high-traffic areas, we apply specialist diamond-hard paint for durability and easy maintenance. Colours are hand-mixed on the day to perfectly match any shade or fabric, ensuring a truly bespoke finish.

​

4. Completion

  • Wall-mounted murals are typically completed within 20 days, depending on the scale of the project and your schedule.

  • Studio-painted substrate murals usually take 6–8 weeks, depending on production schedules.

This step-by-step process guarantees a unique mural, tailored entirely to your space and personal style.
