Custom wallpaper graphic walls like the ones designed for this Los Angeles home are a creative and easy way to make your living space or business location truly unique.
Complete custom wallpaper wall wraps and murals such as these can transform an ordinary bedroom into a magical, mythical, or otherwise extraordinary place. There is really no limit when it comes to your imagination, and with the tools and technology available today, just about anything can be achieved when it comes to a graphic wall wrap. Using high resolution photographs, text, logos and other imagery, we can create a scene, location or other visual representation. Seascapes, landscapes, family photographs and fairytales are all fun elements to bring into your living or work space.
Our custom mural or wall wraps are made from adhesive-backed vinyl material that comes in large rolls up to 150 yards long. These rolls are fed through our large format, 6-color Roland digital printers for exceptional quality color output. After it is printed, the wall wrap material can be laminated with a protective film in either a matte, semi-gloss or glossy finish. This laminate helps to protect the inks against fading, and to protect the material from minor scratches. It can also easily be wiped clean with a mild soap and water.
One of the most important things to consider when planning your wall mural project is the surface and finish on your walls. The standard indoor wall wrap material will adhere best to walls that have a very smooth finish and are painted with a latex paint in either gloss or semi-gloss. Any texture on your walls will show through the material. If your walls have extreme texture such as brick or rough stucco, they can still be wrapped, but will need a special vinyl material that is applied with a heat gun. While this process is more lengthy and involved, the end result can be fantastic, particularly if the texture of the wall is integrated into the overall design.
How To Design Your Custom Wallpaper Wrap
Creating custom wallpaper for professional installation involves designing or selecting a high-resolution image, measuring walls accurately (adding 2–4 inches for trim), ordering through a professional printing and installation company like Iconography, ensuring proper surface preparation and seamless, centered, or edge-to-edge application.
- Design and Image Preparation
Conceptualize: Define the mood and style you want for your bedroom. Consider the existing decor, furniture, and lighting. Lighter colors tend to make a room feel larger, while darker colors can create a cozier atmosphere.
Create or Source Design: Our professional graphic artists use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create designs at high resolution for maximum clarity to avoid pixelation. Whether it is a repeating pattern, or a high resolution photo for a mural effect, our design professionals ensure that what is designed on the computer translates into real life, large format prints. - Ordering Custom Wallpaper
Measure Accurately: It is critical to measure the height and width of your walls at multiple points to ensure the best possible installation. Add 2–4 inches (10-15 cm) to both dimensions for trimming and pattern alignment. Our professionals will come to your location to take measurements before the design phase begins, thus avoiding any unfortunate surprises in the installation phase. - Choose Material: There are options for the finish on your material based on preference, such as a gloss, semi-gloss or matte laminate. We can provide samples for you to review in your space.
