Our wall murals and wallpaper can't be installed on heavily textured or unfinished walls. They may work on very lightly textured walls, although we can't guarantee the result. Here are examples of walls our wall murals won't adhere to: unfinished walls (not primed and painted), popcorn walls, orange peel and knockdown walls.

As a general rule - and for ideal results - the surface should be as flat and smooth as possible. Do not apply your wall mural or wallpaper on textured walls. Only apply on a flat, smooth and clean surface. If the surface is rough or textured, you may need to float or sand it to the desired smoothness first.

For walls, we advise applying a coat of primer and a coat of paint to avoid possible residue or peel paint upon removal. Apply a coat of acrylic or - even better - oil primer. Ideal paints are white or light color with a semi-gloss or gloss finish. If the surface has been freshly primed and/or painted, please wait at least a few days, even a week, for the paint to fully cure. Bubbles can occur if the paint is still outgassing/flashing off.
