How to Measure
How to Measure a Rectangular Wall
Start by measuring the width of the wall at the top, and then the height at the left and right sides. Write these numbers down, as you'll need them later. Next, measure the width of the wall at the bottom since it can be different on the top and bottom. Choose the largest width for the next calculations.
How to Measure a Slanted Wall
When it comes to measuring a slanted wall, you’ll have to find the highest and the widest point and measure there.
How to Measure a Wall With Obstacles
We recommend measuring the full height and width of the wall including the windows and doors so you could cut around the obstacles while installation.
How to Measure a Multiple Wall
You can combine the width of the walls and place the order or you can separate them and ask us for a custom order to match individual wall murals.

What mural size should I choose?
If you’d like to order the mural, round up the width and height numbers to the closest mural size we offer.
For example, if you have a rectangular wall that's 132in wide and 100in high, you need to order the mural : 144in wide x 108in high.
