How to measure your wall

No matter what shape or size, measuring your wall is really simple. Just measure the widest and highest points of the wall, ignoring any objects or slopes. Measure your wall(s) exactly and then add 5-10 cm / 2-4 inches to both your wall width and height as a safety margin for any unevenness in your walls. See the graphics below for more detail.

Standard wall

The easiest of walls to wallpaper! Measure the widest and highest points of the wall. Be careful to measure exactly to get a perfect finish. Only measure the area that you're wanting to wallpaper, ignoring any objects whilst doing so.

Sloped & vaulted walls

With a sloped or vaulted walls and ceilings, again measure the widest and highest points on the wall. The mural is produced as a square or rectangle, therefore, during installation the mural will be trimmed where the wall slopes.

Wall with obstacles

You guessed it, no matter what obstacles there are, measure the widest and highest points of the wall. Whether it's windows, doors or anything else, ignore them during measuring as the mural will be trimmed around them during installation.

Multiple walls

If you're wallpapering multiple walls, measure the widest points of each wall and combine the widths. This will create one seamless mural across all of your walls. Then measure the highest point of the walls*. Again, ignore any obstacles such as windows or doors during measuring.
