About modern wallpaper

What makes a design modern

What makes a design modern is not that it was made recently — it is that every element earns its place. Flat colour rather than shading, geometry rather than decoration, and a palette of two or three colours rather than eight. Our modern collection leans on abstract washes, architectural geometry and large-scale simple forms.

Making it work in a real room

Modern designs need clean surroundings to read correctly. They work best on smooth new drywall, next to simple furniture and good lighting. Put one behind a piece of furniture with visible legs rather than a heavy upholstered mass, so the wall is not half covered. In a period room, a modern mural can work as a deliberate contrast, but it needs the rest of the room to commit to the contrast too.

How ordering works

Every mural is printed to the wall size you enter, so there is nothing to cut down and nothing left over. Measure the wall at its widest and tallest point, type those numbers in, and the price updates as you go. Every panel is printed with a trim allowance on each edge, free, for a clean finish at the ceiling and baseboard.

Five materials cover almost every wall: Non-Woven if the wall is smooth and the mural is staying, Textured if the wall has small flaws to hide, Premium Textile when you want the print to read like a painted canvas, Peel & Stick if you rent or change your mind often, and Canvas Peel & Stick for a canvas surface that still goes up without paste. Order a sample of any of them first — it is the cheapest way to see how a colour behaves in your own daylight.
