Custom Wallpaper

Step 1: Clear the Wall 
Prior to starting, make sure there are no things blocking the view on the wall, like furniture or decorations. For exact measurements and a smooth installation process, this step is necessary. 

Step 2: Measure the Height 
Get your favorite tape measure out and find the wall's height from floor to ceiling. It is important to measure the wall more than once, since the roof and floor may not always be level. This step makes sure you consider any differences in the wall's surface.

Step 3: Determine the Width 
Make sure to include any bumps or dips when you measure the width of the wall from corner to corner. Measure from more than one spot to account for any uneven surfaces on the wall. This would help you understand how much wallpaper is required. 

Step 4: Calculate Total Square Footage 
Now that you know the wall's height and width, you can figure out how many square feet it is. To get the square footage, just increase the height by the width. At this point, you should have a good idea of how big the wall is and how much wallpaper you will need for the job.  

Step 5: Consider Wallpaper Panel Size 
Have a look at the sizes of the wallpaper panels offered. At Neon Earth, our wallpaper comes in normal panel sizes so that it is easy to put up. But if your wall is wider than the maximum panel width, the wallpaper will be sent to you in more than one panel so that it fits perfectly. This step helps you figure out how many panels you need to cover the whole wall. 

Conclusion: 
To sum up, the first step to a beautiful wallpaper installation is to correctly measure your wall. And when you’ve done that, the rest of the factors naturally fall into place. Implement our tips and tricks today and witness the difference yourself!

Air Bubble Annoyances:  

• Issue: Those unsightly air bubbles can ruin the smooth finish of your wallpaper, leaving you frustrated and disheartened.  
• Solution: Gently puncture the bubble with a small pin or needle, then use wallpaper smoothly to press out the air and flatten the area. Voila! A seamless surface awaits. 

Tricky Trimming Techniques:  

• Issue: Trimming excess wallpaper along edges and corners can be challenging, leading to uneven cuts and jagged edges.  
• Solution: Invest in a sharp utility knife or wallpaper trimmer to ensure clean, precise cuts. Use a straight edge or ruler as a guide to maintain straight lines and achieve professional-looking results.

Adhesive Adversities:  

• Issue: Adhesive residue left behind on walls after removing old wallpaper can be stubborn and unsightly.  
• Solution: Remove adhesive residue with a commercial wallpaper remover or a homemade solution of warm water and vinegar. Apply the solution generously to the affected area, then gently scrape away the residue with a putty knife or scraper. 

Pattern/Color Perplexities:  

• Issue: Matching intricate wallpaper patterns with the correct color scheme can be a daunting task, resulting in visible seams and inconsistencies.  
• Solution: Take your time to carefully align and match pattern repeats during installation. Request samples to compare color and textures. Use a plumb line or level to ensure vertical alignment and overlap pattern edges slightly for a seamless transition. 

Moisture Woes:  

• Issue: High humidity or moisture-prone areas can cause wallpaper to peel or warp over time.  
• Solution: Choose moisture-resistant wallpaper or apply a clear, waterproof sealant over the finished wallpaper to protect it from moisture damage. Ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens to prevent excess humidity.

Botanical Murals: Immersive Nature Experiences 

If you're seeking to make a bold statement or transform a room into a botanical oasis, a mural might be the way to go. Botanical murals offer a larger-than-life depiction of nature, bringing the outdoors in with breathtaking realism. Botanical murals simply add a dash of class into the room. Here's why they might be the better option for specific rooms and themes:

• Focal Point: Botanical murals with intricate details and expansive designs create a stunning "wow factor" in any room. 
• Themed Harmony: Reinforce the atmosphere of themed rooms (tropical paradise, serene woodland) with a perfectly chosen botanical mural. 
• Personalized Masterpiece: Unlike wallpaper, murals offer complete customization. Work with an artist to create a unique mural featuring specific plants, colors, and even wildlife. 

How to Choose the Right Option for Your Space? 

Ultimately, whether you opt for floral wallpaper, or a botanical mural depends on your personal preferences, the room's function, and the desired atmosphere. Here are some considerations to keep in mind: 

• Room Size: In smaller rooms, such as bathrooms or home offices, floral wallpaper might be the better choice, as it can add visual interest without overwhelming the space. In larger rooms with high ceilings, a botanical mural can create a dramatic focal point. 
• Lighting: Consider the natural light in the room when choosing between wallpaper and murals. Murals can appear more vibrant and lifelike in well-lit spaces, while floral wallpaper might be better suited for rooms with limited natural light. 
• Maintenance: While both options are relatively low maintenance, it's essential to consider how easily they can be cleaned and maintained over time. Wallpaper may require occasional touch-ups or replacement, while murals can be more durable and resistant to wear and tear. 

Conclusion: In the end, whether you choose floral wallpaper or a botanical mural, both options offer beautiful ways to incorporate nature into your home decor. Check out your aesthetics, keep the vibe in mind and then decide what’s best for your room – murals or wallpaper? The choice is yours!
