Wall Mural Printing Perth: How to Measure, Order & Install in 5 Steps
A wall mural is a large printed graphic — a photo, brand artwork, illustration or pattern — applied directly to a wall as a seamless feature. Unlike a framed poster or a small sign, a mural fills the wall edge to edge, turning plain plasterboard into a branded statement or an eye-catching backdrop.
For Perth businesses, murals do real work. A café builds a signature photo wall, a gym prints motivational graphics across a training zone, and a corporate office reinforces its brand the moment visitors arrive. Because a mural covers so much surface, it shapes a space far more than window signage or a single rigid sign can on its own — which is exactly why measuring and material choice matter so much.
Demand for custom wall murals has grown alongside “Instagrammable” interiors and fit-out refreshes, as brands push to make their physical space match their online identity. If you are weighing up where print spend goes furthest, our guide to print marketing for small business puts murals in context against other formats.
How Do You Measure a Wall for a Mural?
Accurate measurement is the foundation of every good mural. Print to the wrong size and you either run short of the edges or pay for material you cannot use. Here is how to measure properly.
Measure width and height at multiple points
Walls are rarely perfectly square. Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom, then the height on the left, centre and right. Use the largest figure in each direction so your mural covers the wall completely, even if it is slightly out of square.
Add a bleed allowance
Always add a small overlap — usually around 50mm per edge — so the print runs slightly past the wall and can be trimmed for a crisp finish. Trimming excess is easy; stretching a mural that printed too small is impossible. Tell us your exact wall size and we add the bleed for you when we set up your wall mural.
Note every obstacle
Measure and mark power points, light switches, vents, doors and skirting. A good print partner works these into the layout so key parts of your artwork are not lost behind a switch plate — the same care we apply to precision jobs like floor graphics.
How Do You Prepare Artwork That Prints Sharp?
Even the best printer cannot rescue a low-resolution file stretched across a large wall. Preparing your artwork correctly separates a crisp, professional mural from a blurry one.
Start with high-resolution files
Because murals are viewed up close, your source artwork must be large and high quality. Vector files scale to any size without losing sharpness and are perfect for logos and patterns. For photographs, supply the highest-resolution original you have — the same standard we recommend for large-format poster printing.
Design to the wall, not just to a rectangle
Keep important elements — faces, logos, key text — away from edges, corners and any obstacle like a light switch. If your mural wraps onto a second wall, plan how the image folds around the corner. Our team can map artwork onto your exact dimensions, just as we do for precise rigid signs and stickers.
Not sure your file is ready?
If you are unsure whether your artwork will hold up, our design services team can check, fix or build it from scratch. You can also upload your file for a quick review before you commit — the difference between a sharp mural and a soft one is usually decided here, the same way it is for high-quality poster printing.
How Do You Order a Wall Mural in Perth?
Once measurements, material and artwork are sorted, ordering is the easy part. Here is the simple path from decision to delivery.
- Confirm your specs. Send final wall dimensions, your chosen mural material, and obstacle positions.
- Upload your artwork. Submit your high-resolution file, or ask our team to prepare it.
- Approve your quote and proof. Review the layout, check sizing against your wall, and give the go-ahead.
- Receive your mural. Collect from our Malaga workshop or have it delivered, ready to install.

How Do You Install a Wall Mural Without Bubbles?
Installation is where patience pays off. A careful application turns a good print into a flawless feature, whether you do it yourself or arrange a professional fit.
Prepare the wall first
The surface must be clean, dry and smooth. Wipe away dust, grease and flaking paint, and let freshly painted walls cure fully before applying — new paint can stop adhesives bonding. A few minutes of prep prevents most peeling problems.
Work top to bottom, smoothing as you go
Align your first panel carefully — everything below follows from it. Apply gradually, using a squeegee or felt tool to push the material on from the centre outwards, chasing air bubbles toward the nearest edge. If you chose image-dot adhesive vinyl, you can lift and reposition as you go, which makes a DIY install far more forgiving.
Handle seams and edges with care
For multi-panel murals, overlap or butt-join panels exactly as marked so the image lines up. Trim excess at skirting and corners with a sharp blade, and press firmly along all edges where lifting is most likely to start.
Why Order Your Wall Mural From A2Z Printing?
Wall murals are unforgiving of shortcuts, which is why local experience matters. From our Malaga workshop we combine large-format production with hands-on guidance, so you are not guessing about sizing, material or installation.
Because we run both an online store and a physical Perth facility, you can order conveniently and still talk to a real person who knows the product. We help you choose between removable and permanent finishes, check your artwork through our design services, and plan production around your deadline.

How do I measure my wall for a mural?
Measure width at the top, middle and bottom, and height on the left, centre and right, then use the largest figure for each. Add a small bleed on every edge and note any switches. Send those numbers in and our design team sets up the artwork for you.
-
What file format do you need for a wall mural?
High-resolution files work best — vectors for logos and patterns, and the largest possible originals for photos. Unsure? Upload your file for a check, the same standard we use for high-quality poster printing.
-
Will a wall mural damage my wall when removed?
Removable fabric murals are designed to lift cleanly from smooth, suitable surfaces, while permanent vinyls bond more strongly and are intended to stay. Tell us your situation and we recommend the right material.
-
