Installation Process

Step 1



Starting on the left side of your wall, mark down where you will install the first panel. Ensure the marking is straight using your spirit level.

Step 2


Peel down approximately two inches of the backing sheet at the top of the first panel. Carefully stick the top of the sheet to the top of the wall and ensure it’s completely straight. If the mural isn’t in the right position, slowly remove and reapply. Once you’re happy with the positioning, use your cloth to smooth the mural down against the wall. Delicately, pull away the backing sheet and stick the panel to the wall one foot at a time.

Step 3



Repeat the process to install the remaining panels. Make sure the sheets are perfectly aligned without any gap. Leave the mural for a few minutes to settle on the wall.

Step 4


Trim away the excess at the sides and bottom using your cutting tool and ruler.

  • Don’t fold, stretch or crease the wall mural
  • White paint under your mural will give the best results
