Every wall is unique—and that’s what makes custom wallpaper exciting. To help you get the best fit, here are some simple tips:
- Add 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) to both the width and height to allow extra room for installation and trimming.
- We’ll produce your wallpaper to the exact measurements you provide.
- Use the examples below for guidance on measuring different wall types.
Standard Walls
Measure the full width and height of the wall you want to cover. Double-check your numbers to be sure, and only include the area that will receive wallpaper—skip baseboards, crown molding, or trim. |
 |
Multiple Walls
If your wallpaper wraps around more than one wall, measure each section and add the widths together for a total. No need to order separately—we’ll produce it as one continuous wallpaper. |
 |
Sloped Walls
For walls or ceilings with a slope, measure the tallest height and the widest width, ignoring the angled section. We’ll print your wallpaper as a full rectangle or square, and the slope can be trimmed on-site during installation. |
 |
Pitched Walls
When a wall has two slants, measure the maximum height and the widest width. As with slopes, we’ll create a full rectangle or square, and you’ll trim the angled portions during installation. |

Wall with Obstacles
When a wall has two slants, measure the maximum height and the widest width. As with slopes, we’ll create a full rectangle or square, and you’ll trim the angled portions during installation. |
