Wall mural wallpapers: Six options for your walls!

Wall murals are experiencing a true renaissance. Once associated with kitschy mountain scenes and shiny, low-quality paper, today’s designs are a far cry from their outdated predecessors.
High-end paste-the-wall wall mural wallpapers are making a strong comeback. Brands like A.S. Création and Walls by Patel deliver digital prints and premium materials for stylish wall design.

In this article, we’ll explore the different non-woven qualities offered by A.S. Création, Walls by Patel and Chantemur, and compare them to help you find the perfect wall mural to suit your needs.

Test Wall Mural Wallpapers with our material sample pack!

Please note: when ordering wall mural wallpaper samples from BRICOFLOR, you will receive a material sample pack rather than a sample of the actual design. There are several good reasons for this:

• Made to order: The non-woven wall mural wallpapers are printed individually after you place your order with your chosen design. They are not pre-produced or stored in a warehouse. For this reason, mural wallpapers are custom-made products and are therefore excluded from the right of withdrawal, as they are produced on demand.

• Size of the wall mural: Wall murals are typically very large (often several metres wide). A small sample piece would only show a tiny section of the design and would not accurately represent the full wall mural image.

• Test the material quality: The material sample pack includes all available quality options, allowing you to compare the feel, thickness and surface texture of each type of mural wallpaper. You can view the full design in high resolution on our website, along with room visualisations to help you see how the wall mural will look in your space. This makes it easier to choose the perfect wall mural wallpaper and material quality for your home.

When ordering a wall mural wallpaper sample, you will receive six material samples featuring random designs. This allows you to compare the different finishes and choose the option that best suits your space.

Non-woven wall mural wallpapers – The top choice for digital printing

Whether you prefer a floral wall mural or a concrete-look design, most high-quality wall murals today come in a non-woven format. Non-woven (also called paste-the-wall) wallpaper is made primarily from long-fibre special cellulose, textile fibres, and binders — around 80% of which are of natural origin. The composition ensures dimensional stability, so you can apply the wallpaper to pasted walls without soaking.

Thanks to this, you can hang non-woven wall murals easily and cleanly, with minimal risk of distortion. And when it's time to redecorate, you can remove them dry and in one piece - no hassle, no residue.

Fun fact: Unlike standard wallpapers, wall murals typically contain no vinyl. While vinyl is often used in traditional wallpaper to enhance texture and durability in repeating patterns, it’s not necessary for the detailed, large-scale designs featured in modern photo murals.

Six non-woven wallpaper qualities to suit every wall

At BRICOFLOR, you have the option to choose between different non-woven wallpaper qualities for some wall murals, about which you can also discover more in our article about digitally printed wall coverings. These mainly differ in their grammage, which refers to the weight of the wallpaper per square metre. Depending on the grammage, the intensity of the colours can vary, as it affects how well the material absorbs the printing inks. Additional finishing processes provide options for matt, textured, or glossy effects, giving, for example, modern wall murals with abstract designs a distinctive look.

Grammage can also influence the application, though differences in handling are minimal. More importantly, brands like Walls by Patel offer you the choice of various appearances and textures to suit your personal style.

Conclusion

Whether it’s a childrens wall mural, for the living room, kitchen or hallway, at BRICOFLOR you can choose from a range of high-quality non-woven wall murals in your favourite finish to give your walls a truly personal and unique look. In summary, depending on the type of material you select, you can style the appearance and design of your wallpaper to reflect your individual taste. For a modern vibe, glossy finishes are a great choice, while matt wallpapers with natural motifs suit those who prefer a more organic feel.
