English Blog
Walls are not always completely open surfaces. Windows, doors, outlets, trim, and other features can affect how a wall mural should be measured and positioned.
Identify Obstacles First
Before ordering, look carefully at the wall and identify windows, doors, shelves, trim, and other fixed features.
Measure the Usable Wall Area
The total wall size is important, but the usable area may be different when windows or doors are present. Record the dimensions of the main wall and the locations of major obstacles.
Consider the Design Placement
Some parts of a mural may be more visually important than others. Think about how the main subject or focal point will appear in relation to windows and doors.
Review Installation Instructions
Different mural materials may require different approaches when working around obstacles. Follow the instructions provided for the specific product.
Final Thoughts
Planning around windows, doors, and other obstacles requires careful measuring and layout planning. Reviewing the wall before ordering can help you better understand how the mural may fit the space.
