Custom wallpaper design
In a world where personal expression is increasingly celebrated, custom made wallpaper offers a unique way to transform any space into a personalized work of art.
Unlike off-the-shelf options, bespoke wallpaper allows for an entirely tailored experience, incorporating specific colors, patterns, and themes to align with your vision. Whether it’s a subtle motif inspired by nature, a bold mural that serves as a roomโs centerpiece, or a vintage-inspired design with intricate details, custom wallpaper enables you to craft a look that reflects your personality and style.
Custom making a wallpaper used to be solely in the realm of a shop or office. Whereby a company may have a bespoke design that represents the company ethos, logo, branding or an image of their work. Now it has become affordable and attainable so many homeowners are taking advantage of this wallpapering technique.
How does designing a wallpaper work?
If you don’t have existing artwork, like a company logo, you can visit sites like Raw Pixel or Shutterstock to buy an image.ย There are no limitations as long as it is a high resolution image. Simply find the image you would like to use.
That image is then made for the exact size of your wall or walls. We use & recommend digital printers that use premium paper and ink. Like Fotowallย or Studio Surface.
Not all custom wallpaper is created equally and when installing your wallpaper you’ll want a premium finish. You don’t want ink on your hands instead of the wall!
Pro tips:
When choosing your image think about scale. To check if the image will fit the dimensions of your wall here are some guidelines to consider:
- Is the image the correct landscape; horizontal or vertical
- Is there anything to cut around that would interrupt the image like a window
- What size room is it going in
- How many walls are you covering
