All Murals
Transform any room into a masterpiece.
Applied Coverings wall murals are printed to your exact wall dimensions — a single seamless image scaled to fill your wall precisely, with no repeating tiles, no forced crops, and no visible seams between panels.
Upload your own photo, artwork, or logo, or choose from our collection of nature scenes, abstract compositions, cityscapes, and botanical murals. Every mural is produced to order in our California studio and ships in 5–7 business days. Because we print to your dimensions, a 14-foot living room wall and a 6-foot accent wall behind a sofa are handled with the same precision — no standard size compromises.
Wall mural vs. wallpaper: what's the difference?
A wallpaper pattern repeats across the wall at a fixed tile size. A wall mural is a single non-repeating image that fills the entire wall surface. Applied Coverings produces both — the distinction is in how the design is structured. If you're looking for an all-over texture or geometric pattern, that's wallpaper. If you want a forest, a skyline, an abstract painting, or a custom photo to fill the entire wall as one image, that's a mural. You can also upload your own image and we'll scale and print it as a mural.
Uploading your own photo as a wall mural
Applied Coverings' custom upload tool accepts high-resolution JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files. For a standard 9 × 8 ft wall, we recommend a source image of at least 3,000 × 2,700 pixels at 150 DPI — enough resolution to print sharp at viewing distance. Panoramic smartphone photos, professional photography, and vector artwork all work well. Once uploaded, our configurator lets you preview the crop and scale before you place the order. See our custom wallpaper product page for the full upload guide.

Where wall murals work best
The most popular mural applications are accent walls behind sofas or beds, dining room statement walls, and entryway murals that create an immediate impression. In commercial settings, murals are used in hotel lobbies, restaurant feature walls, office common areas, and retail backdrops. Because the image is produced to the exact dimensions of the wall, the mural feels architectural — like the space was designed around it.
Frequently asked questions about wall murals
Can I upload my own photo or artwork as a wall mural?
Yes. Upload a high-resolution image via the Applied Coverings custom upload tool, enter your wall dimensions, choose your material, and we print it to scale. JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and vector formats are accepted.
Do wall murals have visible seams between panels?
Applied Coverings prints murals in panels that butt-join during installation. Seams are minimized by precise panel width and are typically invisible at normal viewing distance, especially on textured materials like Peel & Stick Linen. Professional installation eliminates seam visibility on nearly all applications.
What's the maximum size for a custom wall mural?
There is no maximum size. Applied Coverings prints murals for walls up to 20 feet wide and taller-than-standard ceiling heights for commercial projects. Provide your exact dimensions at checkout and we produce accordingly.
How much does a custom wall mural cost?
Murals are priced by the square foot based on the material you choose. Pre-Pasted starts at $5.00/sqft, Peel & Stick Canvas at $5.50/sqft, and Peel & Stick Linen at $7.50/sqft. Enter your wall dimensions in the configurator for an exact price.
How long does wall mural installation take?
A standard accent wall mural (typically 10–15 sqft) takes 2–4 hours to install professionally. Larger commercial murals are scoped per project. Applied Coverings offers installation services in San Jose, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
