World Map Murals & Map Wallpaper

Peel-and-stick murals adhere best to smooth, clean surfaces with a flat or eggshell paint finish. Heavily textured walls like orange peel or knockdown can reduce adhesion. For textured surfaces, traditional paste-the-wall wallpaper is the better option. Freshly painted walls should cure for at least two to four weeks before application. Contact our team if you have questions about adhesion

On properly prepared smooth walls, peel-and-stick map murals maintain adhesion for years. The key factors are surface preparation—clean, primed, and fully cured paint—and avoiding high-humidity areas. All murals are printed with durable, UV-resistant pigment-based inks that resist fading over time.

Yes. Peel-and-stick map murals are specifically designed to be repositionable. You can carefully peel the material back and reapply it without losing adhesive strength or damaging the wall surface. This makes them especially forgiving during DIY installation. Contact our team to request a free printed sample

Start with a light touch to adhere the mural panel to the wall, smoothing from the center outwards. The light touch helps to facilitate any repositioning needed. Once everything is positioned how you like, go over the entire print with the provided squeegee/smoother tool to ensure maximum adhesion and no air bubbles.

A political world map emphasizes country borders, capital cities, and place names using distinct colors for each nation. A physical world map shows natural terrain features like mountain ranges, ocean depths, deserts, and vegetation using color gradients and shading. Both styles are available in the World Map Murals collection.

All map murals are printed using UV-resistant, pigment-based inks designed to maintain color vibrancy over time. While no printed material is completely immune to prolonged direct sun exposure, these inks significantly resist fading compared to standard dye-based printing. For walls with intense all-day sun, UV-filtering window treatments can further extend color life.

Measure your wall's width and height in inches at the widest and tallest points. For standard sizes, select the next size up from your measurements to allow for trimming. If your wall falls outside standard options, custom sizing is available so the mural is printed and trimmed to your exact dimensions.

Peel-and-stick is the ideal choice for renters because it removes cleanly without leaving residue or damaging paint. Traditional wallpaper requires adhesive and is more difficult to remove. Peel-and-stick murals can be repositioned into a new room in a home, but unfortunately not realistic to take on a move to a new home.

Larger map murals beyond 90" x 60" are printed as sequential panels, typically 30-42 inches wide. Each panel is designed to align seamlessly edge-to-edge with a slight overlap allowance. The panels are installed side by side so the map's lines, text, and colors match precisely across the full wall.
