Introduction: Don’t Just Decorate—Make It Fit Like a Glove
A wall mural can change everything about a room. It adds character, color, and even a story. But no matter how beautiful the design, if the size isn’t right, the magic falls flat.
At Zeekohome, we often hear this question from excited customers:
“How do I know what size mural I need?”
Whether you're installing a soft floral in your bedroom or a bold abstract in your home office, the right fit is key. Measuring your wall correctly ensures a professional-looking finish—even if it’s your first time applying wallpaper.
Let’s walk through how to measure your space step-by-step, plus helpful tips and real-world examples to make the process easy.
📏 Step 1: Measure the Width and Height of Your Wall
Start with the basics. Using a sturdy tape measure:
-
Measure the width of the wall from left to right
-
Measure the height from top to bottom (typically from floor to ceiling)
Be as precise as possible—note the measurements in either inches or centimeters, depending on your preference.
📝 Example:
Width = 138 inches
Height = 96 inches
This is your working canvas—the area your mural will cover.
🧱 Step 2: Add a Safety Margin (Bleed Area)
Walls are rarely perfectly straight. They can be slightly uneven due to baseboards, crown moldings, or old construction. That’s why it’s important to add an extra 1–2 inches on all sides to allow for trimming and alignment.
🛠 Final mural size:
140" × 98" (for a 138" × 96" wall)
This buffer ensures your mural covers the entire space without leaving gaps.
🪟 Step 3: Consider Wall Features Like Windows and Slopes
If your wall includes:
-
Windows
-
Doors
-
Angled ceilings
-
Built-in shelves
-
Outlets or light switches
…you should still measure the entire wall area, not just the visible sections. This gives our design team the flexibility to adjust layout and paneling—so focal elements of the mural don’t get awkwardly cropped or hidden.
We can even help reposition elements within the design based on your space’s architecture.
📐 Step 4: Choose Between Standard and Custom Sizing
At Zeekohome, we offer two mural types:
-
Standard sizes: Perfect for common wall dimensions (8×10 ft, 12×9 ft, etc.)
-
Custom sizes: Tailored to your exact measurements—down to the inch
Whether you’re working with a wide open wall, a nook, or a slanted attic, our custom-fit murals are made to fit your space like a glove.
✅ Bonus: No extra fee for custom sizing.
🧠 Step 5: Use Panel Layouts to Your Advantage
All Zeekohome murals are shipped in pre-cut, numbered panels, designed for easy alignment and peel-and-stick installation. We carefully plan the layout so that:
-
Visual elements don’t split across seams
-
Large patterns match perfectly from panel to panel
-
DIY installation is smooth—even for beginners
Need to align a central flower, a sunset, or a city skyline with your bed or sofa? Just let us know, and we’ll center the design for you!
