Questions about Modern Wallpaper Mural

We call a design modern when it's built on simple shapes or one material, not a detailed scene. That covers printed surfaces like brick and terrazzo, plus line art and minimal landscapes with a lot of empty space. What they share is that they sit well with low, clean-lined furniture and don't need much decor around them. If you want a full painted scene, the nature or floral categories will suit you better.

From across the room, yes. Up close it's a flat print with no mortar joints to feel, and strong side light from a window gives that away. Most people hang it where they see it from a few steps back, behind a sofa or a bed, and there the effect holds. The matte finish helps, since a shiny surface would look like a photo of brick right away. Our brick pattern wallpaper page has more options.

Yes, a powder room without a shower is a good place for it. The White Marble with Gold Veins looks right behind a floating vanity or around a mirror, and the room stays dry enough that steam isn't a concern. In a full bathroom, keep it out of the shower's reach and make sure the fan runs every time. Our stone and marble murals have more veined designs.

Not really. The Black and White Cute Characters Doodle is black and white line work, so it comes across as graphic rather than babyish, and it works in a home office for someone who draws or a playroom adults use too. It is busy, though. In a small room, keep it to one wall and leave the furniture and textiles plain so the pattern has the stage to itself.

Pick one chip color and repeat it once or twice in the room. The Cream Colorful Stone Chips Terrazzo has enough small colors that a single matching bar stool cushion or a mug shelf in one of them ties it together. Light oak and white counters suit it, and so do black metal stools. It looks most at home in a kitchen coffee corner or a modern bathroom, where real terrazzo would cost far more.

Something with a calm middle. The Green Mountains and Sun Minimal is a good pick, because its big simple shapes look tidy on camera. Line art works too, as long as the main drawing isn't right behind your head. Skip the doodle pattern there unless you want colleagues asking about it every meeting. Our office wallpaper murals have more ideas for the wall behind a desk.

They can, more than on a busy pattern. Big flat areas of color make a join easier to spot, so for the 3D Geometric Color Block we'd point you to the Seamless Fabric Wall Mural. It's printed as one piece for your wall and goes up with wallpaper glue, so there's nothing to line up. If you prefer panels, Non-Woven Wallpaper is dimensionally stable, which means it won't shrink and open gaps at the joins as the seasons change.

Usually 3 to 10 business days after dispatch, and we dispatch within 2 business days of the order. Shipping is free and tracked by express courier. Customs duties or import taxes may apply in Canada, as with most imports, so it's worth factoring that in. If you're timing the mural around a move into a new condo, give yourself a little extra room before the install date.
