### Transform a Room in Two Hours
Wall murals are brilliant. **One wall, one afternoon, completely different room**. But here's the problem: they're deceptively tricky to hang yourself.
Unlike normal wallpaper where a slight overlap doesn't matter, **murals have to line up perfectly**. Half a centimetre out and that forest scene has a weird line through it, or your kid's space mural has two separate moons.

### Why DIY Murals Often Go Wrong
I've seen a lot of "I tried myself first" mural jobs. Here's what usually happens:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Panels perfectly aligned edge-to-edge | Visible gaps or overlaps in the image | | Smooth, bubble-free finish | Bubbles everywhere, especially in corners | | Pattern matches across joins | Image doesn't line up properly | | Straight and level | Wonky, following the skirting (which isn't level) |
The difference? **Experience with large-format wallcoverings**. I've hung hundreds of murals - I know the tricks.

### Pricing Guide
| Mural Size | Estimated Time | You'll Pay | |------------|----------------|------------| | Small (up to 3m wide) | 1-1.5 hrs | **£60-£85** | | Medium (3-4m wide) | 1.5-2 hrs | **£85-£110** | | Large (4m+ wide) | 2-3 hrs | **£110-£160** |

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Measure your wall before buying the mural. Cheaper to get the right size first time than try to make a too-small mural stretch.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Wall Check & Prep I check your wall condition, fill any holes, and make sure the surface is smooth enough. Can't hang a mural on rubbish - it'll show every lump. ### Step 2: First Panel Goes Up This one's critical - has to be perfectly level. I mark a plumb line and use that, not your skirting board (which is never level in older Honiton houses). ### Step 3: Build The Image Each panel goes up carefully, butted edge-to-edge with the last one. The pattern has to flow across seamlessly. Take my time here - rushing creates problems. ### Step 4: Smooth & Trim Work out all the bubbles, trim top and bottom, check the whole thing. You won't see where the panels join.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Redecorating the whole room?** Get the mural up first, then paint the other walls. Much easier than trying to paste around freshly painted walls. **Multiple jobs?** While I'm set up with pasting table and tools, makes sense to do any other wallpapering you need. More cost-effective than two separate visits. **Older Exeter walls?** Victorian and Edwardian walls can be a bit... lumpy. I deal with that all the time. Might need a bit more prep, but the mural will still go up perfectly. **Removing old mural later?** Most modern murals are "strippable" - they peel off in sheets when you're done with them. Check yours says that on the packaging. Makes future redecorating much easier.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wall mural hanging in Honiton
What's the difference between hanging a mural and normal wallpaper?
Murals are much less forgiving - the pattern has to line up perfectly across multiple panels or the image looks wrong. One panel slightly off and the whole thing's ruined. Plus they're often bigger and heavier than standard wallpaper, so harder to handle solo.
Do I need to prep the wall first?
I'll do basic prep as part of the job - fill obvious holes, wipe down, make sure it's smooth. If your wall's in really rough shape (flaking paint, major holes), I'll let you know and we can sort that first. Most walls in Honiton homes are fine with just a quick prep.
Can you hang murals on textured walls?
Depends on the texture. Lightly textured - usually fine, the mural paste fills small bumps. Heavily textured (like artex or woodchip) - not recommended, you'll see every lump through the mural. I can advise when I see it.
I bought a cheap mural off Amazon - will you still fit it?
Yeah, no problem. Quality varies massively with budget murals - some are great, some are nightmare thin paper that tears if you look at it wrong. I'll work with whatever you've got, but I'll be honest about whether it's going to go up nicely.
How long before I can paint the surrounding walls?
Give it 24 hours for the paste to fully dry. Then you can paint around it, fit coving, whatever you need. The mural won't shift once it's set.
