Wall Preparation
Ensure the wall is smooth, clean, and dry before you begin. Remove any nails, screws, or dust, and sand down rough surfaces as needed.

Mixing the Paste
Follow the instructions on your paste package and mix until you reach a smooth, lump-free consistency.

Checking the Panels
Lay out all panels on the floor before hanging. Verify that the pattern aligns correctly and inspect for any defects.

Applying the Paste
Using a roller or brush, apply a thin, even layer of paste directly onto the wall. Start from the top and work downward, covering a section slightly wider than each panel.

Hanging the Panels
Begin at the left side of the wall and work right. Align the first panel at the top and smooth it downward from the center outward to release air bubbles. Continue with each panel, aligning edges precisely without overlapping.

Trimming
Once all panels are in place, use a sharp knife to trim any excess material at the top, bottom, and sides.

Drying and Finishing
Allow the mural to dry for 24 hours. Do not touch or press on it during this time. Once dry, inspect for any lifting edges or air bubbles and smooth them out as needed.

1. Measure Width and Height
   Use a measuring tape to measure the full width and height of the wall. Take measurements at multiple points to account for any irregularities. Add an extra 5 cm (2 inches) to both dimensions to allow for trimming and adjustments during installation.
2. Sloped Walls
   For walls with sloped ceilings or floors, measure at the highest and widest points. Always capture the maximum dimensions to ensure full coverage.
3. Walls with Obstacles
   Measure the entire wall as if doors, windows, and built-in furniture do not exist. You will cut around these during installation, so it is important to have enough material to work with. Add the standard extra margin at all edges.
4. Multiple Walls
   Measure each wall separately, then combine the widths. Add 5 cm per wall to allow for proper alignment and trimming at each seam.
5. Irregular Shapes
   Break the wall into smaller rectangular sections and measure each one individually. Add the extra margin to each section before combining totals.
6. Confirm Your Measurements
   Double-check all measurements before placing your order. Consider sketching the wall with its dimensions to help visualize the layout and catch any errors.
