1. Measure the Width
- Use a tape measure to record the horizontal distance of the wall from end to end.
- If wrapping around a corner, measure each wall section separately and add the widths together.
2. Measure the Height
- Measure from the floor to the ceiling (or desired mural height).
- Use the tallest point if the floor or ceiling is uneven.
3. Note Obstacles
- Record the size and location of windows, doors, outlets, or built-in fixtures.
- Decide if the mural should cover or work around them.
4. For Corners and Wraps
- Measure both walls independently (e.g., one 8 ft wall and one 4 ft wall = 12 ft total width).
- Mark the corner clearly when submitting your measurements or design layout so the artwork aligns properly.
- Add an extra inch or two at the corner for trimming and alignment.
5. Double-Check Everything
- Re-measure each dimension to avoid sizing mistakes.
- Round up on all sides by at least 1 ft to allow for trimming during installation.
Tip: Corners can cause pattern misalignment if not planned. If using a repeating pattern, make sure the designer or installer knows it wraps around.
