How to Install

Traditional Mural

  • Before You Begin

    Portray wallpaper is recommended to be installed on smooth surfaces. Surfaces are recommended to be primed.

    Step 1 |

    Clean and dry your walls thoroughly.

    Step 2 |

    Unroll panels.
    (Note: Each panel is labeled at the bottom with a number in the order of installation from left to right.)
    Ensure panels have arrows pointing up.
    (Note: Look for reference ↑↑ on panel.)
    It is recommended to layout all panels to visualize orientation and alignment before installation.

    Step 3 |

    The installation process should begin at the top left corner of your wall.
    Peel approximately 10 inches of the backing to stick panel to your wall.
    Align & adjust the top of the panel to your wall confirming vertical alignment with your level.

    Step 4 |

    Using your plastic smoothing tool, work your way from top to bottom, smoothing out and removing any bubbles from paper.
    (Note: Gradually remove backing as needed.)

    Step 5 |

    Once the first panel is set, repeat installation process with remaining panels, placing the panels flush against one another. There should be no space left between panels.
    (Note: Verify design alignment from panel to panel.)
    Once all panels have been installed, trim any excess material using a craft knife.
    (Note: Ensure craft knives are sharp to avoid any tears in the paper.)
