Posted by eric daily on

Every wall is unique—and that’s what makes custom wallpaper exciting. To help you get the best fit, here are some simple tips:

  • We’ll produce your wallpaper to the exact measurements you provide.
  • Use the examples below for guidance on measuring different wall types.
