Description

Our Loxodonta Vintage Explorer Mural features an ornate, incredibly detailed monochromatic etched elephant amongst tropical plant life. This wallpaper mural is an original Victorian etching. Illustrations such as this were crafted by explorers to take back to England, where they would show off their wondrous, never-before-seen sightings from their travels to far-off lands.

Paper types

Heavyweight – Deluxe
Our heavy paper offers a beautiful linen-textured finish and is printed on top quality paper backed vinyl, so is also extremely durable. This paper is a high grade wallpaper suitable for homes and commercial premises.

Medium Weight – Standard
Our medium paper is thicker than you would expect from a standard wallpaper, making it a great long term choice for ‘lived in’ homes. This paper is a high quality wall covering suitable for both homes and commercial spaces.

Lightweight Paper
Our lightest paper, this option is great for renovating on a budget. The paper is slightly thinner than high street counterparts, which makes for easy install but still offers a good finish.

You can find more information on our paper types page.

Installation

Who Can Install?
Our murals are produced to make installation as simple as possible, meaning fitting can be carried out by anyone with competent DIY skills, or by a painter and decorator who is used to hanging wallpaper.

Tools and Adhesives
You simply need standard wallpaper hanging tools including a sharp knife, roller or paint brush, and plastic squeegee to smooth out your wallpaper. A standard ready mixed wallpaper adhesive is required to paste the wallpaper to the wall, and we can supply this to you if required.

How Wallpaper is Supplied and Installed
Our wallpaper is supplied in multiple strips (drops) on a roll, each up to 45 cm wide and to your mural’s height.

For our medium paper, there is no overlap. Each drop is numbered so you know exactly how the mural fits together, and the order in which to hang your mural. Simply start from one side of the wall and continue to hang each drop of wallpaper, matching the design as you move along the wall until the mural is complete.

For our heavy paper, your mural is printed with a 20mm overlap. Use the black crop mark at the top and bottom as a guide to overlap the panel onto the first. Visually match the image at the join and smooth out.

We also print your wallpaper 1-2% larger than the dimensions you give us to allow for adequate excess paper for trimming. For a full and more detailed hanging guide please view our how to install page.

FAQs

How wide are the wallpaper strips?
Our wallpaper strips come in 45 cm wide drops. This is slightly wider than normal wallpaper which makes the hanging process quicker and gives a better final finish.

How will my wallpaper arrive?
Your wallpaper will arrive on a roll that is sectioned off into vertical drops that fit your wall height. These drops are simply matched up next to each other on the wall to create the full finished mural.

How will i know what my mural looks like before ordering?
When you send an order enquiry to us, we will come back to you within 24 hours with an email including a proof image showing how your wallpaper mural will look on your wall. If you need any changes making at this point then you simply need to let us know, and if you are happy with it and wish to proceed then payment can be made and we will print your wallpaper right away.

Can I customise my mural?
Most of our wallpapers are customisable. We can alter colours, make images black and white, add company logos, text and much more. If you would like to customise your mural then please do not hesitate to contact us with your requirements and our designers can help.

Are the colours seen on screen accurate?
There can be some variation between computer monitors and the final printed product. This is due to individual brightness and colour intensity settings, however, this is usually very minimal. Colours can also look slightly different depending on the material they are printed on. All of our papers offer a matte finish. If you have any specific concerns about colour matching, we can provide a printed sample for you before you make the final order to give you a more accurate idea of colour. Please note we would actually suggest colour matching paints etc. where possible once you have received the final product. You can request a custom sample by contacting our customer service team here.
