Figure Out What Kind of Wallpaper You Should be Shopping For

The main differences between wallpaper murals and wallpaper rolls lie in their design, size, installation process, and application.   

Design

Wallpaper rolls typically feature repeating patterns or motifs that can be seamlessly aligned and repeated across the walls. They come in rolls of standard sizes, allowing for easy installation and pattern continuity.

Wallpaper murals are large-scale designs that cover an entire wall or a significant portion of it.

They often depict a single scene, landscape, or image that is not repeated.

   

Size

Wallpaper rolls come in standardized sizes, typically ranging from 20 to 30 inches wide and several yards long. These rolls are designed to be cut into panels or strips, which are then applied to the wall, allowing for pattern repetition and continuity. Wallpaper murals, on the contrary, come in larger dimensions, often customized to fit the specific wall measurements. They can cover an entire wall or be scaled down to a desired size.

Installation Process

Installing wallpaper rolls involves measuring and cutting the rolls into strips or panels, applying adhesive or activating pre-pasted wallpaper, and carefully aligning and smoothing each strip onto the wall. Wallpaper rolls may require more precision and attention to detail during installation to ensure proper pattern alignment.

Wallpaper murals are typically installed as a single large piece. They may come in panels that need to be carefully aligned, or as self-adhesive murals that can be applied directly to the wall. The installation process for wallpaper murals can be more straightforward, especially if they come with clear installation instructions.  

Application

Wallpaper rolls are versatile and can be used in various rooms, providing a repeating pattern that adds depth and dimension to the space. They work well for accent walls or for covering the entire room.

Wallpaper murals, with their large-scale designs, are often used as statement pieces to create a focal point in a room. They are particularly popular for creating immersive and visually striking environments in living rooms, bedrooms, or commercial spaces.
