Supplies Needed
How to Hang
We highly recommend the use of two people when installing a mural. Just follow these simple instructions and your new wall mural will give you and your family a splendid view for years to come! For best results, start with an application of wallpaper primer.
- To ensure the wallpaper wall mural is centered, use a level to mark your starting point. When hanging our 3-panel murals we recommend centering the middle panel first, and then move left to right with the other two mural panels. When hanging our single panel murals we recommend positioning the mural accordingly to the designated wall space. Take your time spreading out the wallpaper wall mural.
- Roll wall mural panel out on work table backside up.
- Apply paste (not included with mural) evenly to the back of the wall mural panel with a pasting brush or roller. Avoid getting any paste on the face of the mural. If you do get paste on the face of the mural, wipe gently with a wet sponge before the paste dries.
- Fold paste sides in toward the center of the panel, making sure picture side is out.
- Handle each panel carefully in order not to damage the mural. Important: DO NOT crease the folds.
- Mount the panel carefully by sliding it into position, making sure it lines up to the marked level line. You should have enough time to move and position the wall mural to the accurate location.
- Using a plastic blade squeegee or clean, damp sponge, gently smooth the panel against the wall, starting from the top. Smooth out all wrinkles and bubbles outward. Work down the panel until it is applied securely. Small air bubbles should disappear once the wall mural completely dries.
- Wipe the wallpaper mural with a clean damp sponge to remove any excessive paste.
- Trim salvage edges and apply paste to the second panel and repeat steps 4 & 5.
- Align panel 2 to the left of panel 1. Smooth down the remaining butted seam. Repeat this procedure with panel 3.
- When all mural panels have been hung, trim ceiling and baseboard using a straight edge. Take your time trimming and change blades frequently to ensure an accurate cut.
- Make sure all seams are brushed or rolled completely.
- Using a clean, damp sponge wipe down the entire wallpaper wall mural to eliminate any past residue.
NOTE: Extreme caution should be used when trimming and/or hanging wallcovering around electrical outlets. We recommend turning off all electrical current to the room at the circuit/fuse box.
How to Remove
Start at the top of the wall. Peel back one corner from the wall. Grab the top of the sheet and pull firmly down the wall. No need to score, steam or spray with adhesive remover.
