How do I measure my wall accurately for a custom murals or wallpaper?

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.
