We highly recommend working with a professional installer to ensure that everything comes out perfectly! If you choose to install yourself, here are a few essential tips:
PREPPING YOUR WALLS
Make sure your hanging surface is clean and dry, as well as free from any damage (like holes from nails)—you want it to be as smooth as possible!
Paint on a coat of wallpaper primer. We recommend Roman PRO-909 Vinyl Prep® Clear Wallcovering Primer which is water-based.
Wall murals work best on flat, untextured white walls, as any uneven or colored surfaces like stucco or plaster will show through the paper once installed. White, painted drywall is ideal.
HANGING YOUR MURAL
We recommend using Roman ECO-888 Premium Clear Strippable Wallcovering Adhesive which is VOC free.
If the wall mural is too large for your walls, you or your installer should be able to trim whatever you need to ensure that it fits. For more information on our minimum wall size recommendations and how to trim, see “What size wall is the mural meant for?”
Roll an even coat of adhesive onto your primed walls. Apply one panel on top of the adhesive; we recommend using a clean, soft-bristled brush or squeegee to smooth it down onto the wall.
Before applying each additional panel, clean off any excess adhesive with a soft, lightly damp sponge. Then, apply paste on the wall for the next panel—be sure to line the edges up and smooth from the center out. Repeat until finished!
Note: Our wall murals come in panels which are labeled A-H and are meant to be installed in alphabetical order, left to right.
