So, you're looking at murals and thinking they could really change your room? You’re right! They can add so much to a space. But maybe you're also a little worried about how hard they are to deal with. We get it. People often think they're complicated, but we're here to tell you it's not as bad as you might think.
At I Love Wallpaper, we want to help you make your home look amazing, and that means making things doable. So, let's clear up some common misconceptions about murals.
Myth 1: Measuring is Super Hard
Reality: It's pretty straightforward.
- Measure Your Wall: Just get a tape measure and find the height and width of the wall. It's a good idea to measure in a couple of places since walls aren't always perfectly even.
- Add a Bit Extra: Add a few centimeters (like 2-5cm) to your measurements on each side. This gives you some room to trim and makes sure you cover the whole wall.
-
That's All! Seriously. When you order, just give us those measurements, and we'll handle the rest.
Myth 2: Hanging a Mural is a Nightmare
Reality: It's not the easiest thing ever, but you can definitely do it yourself. A lot of our murals are "paste-the-wall," which means you put the paste directly on the wall. This makes it less messy.
Here's the basic process:
- Get Your Wall Ready: Make sure it's clean, smooth, and dry.
- Follow the Numbers: Murals usually come in panels that are numbered. Put them up in order!
- Smooth It Out: Use something like a smoothing tool or a cloth to get rid of any air bubbles.
-
Trim the Extra: Use a sharp knife to cut off any extra paper at the edges.
Myth 3: Murals Are Only for Big Rooms
Reality: Nope! Murals can work great in any size room. They can:
- Make Small Rooms Feel Bigger: They can add depth.
- Create a Focus: They can draw your eye to one wall.
- Show Your Style: They let you express yourself.
