In this Toronto Sun article, the design duo talk about making custom wallpaper, that’s easy to hang, using your own artwork or finding an image from a stock website.

Learn How to Make Custom Wallpaper

Step 1: Find an In-Stock Wallpaper on our Website (or your own background)

An original brick mural, sold by AboutMurals.ca, was used as a backdrop for Colin and Justin's custom wallpaper

We used one of our high resolution brick mural wallpapers as the backdrop for the custom made wallpaper. For your backdrop, you can choose from any of the wallpaper murals in our online shop. Alternatively, we can help you source a stock image or we can collaborate with a graphic designer (yours or ours!).

Step 2: Add a Logo, Quote or Image

Send us your logo or image, like the whisky logo that Colin and Justin added over the brick backdrop. 

The graphic should be as high quality as possible, ideally a vector file (which ends in .eps when you look at the file). 

Let us know the approximate size and placement you’d like the graphic.  For example, the boys requested that the whisky logo be 3′ x 3′ and centered on the wallpaper.

Step 3: Purchase the Wallpaper

You need actual wallpaper to print the background and logo onto, right?  

Measure and type in the width and height of your wall when you order your wallpaper.  Remember to add an extra 2″ to the width and height to trim off during installation, because walls are never perfectly level. 

You can add all of your notes from steps 1 and 2 in the notes section during checkout.

The cost of the custom wallpaper includes basic set up of your design and the wallpaper itself.

Step 4: Approve your Wallpaper Sample

Once we’ve combined your backdrop and logo, you’ll receive a digital proof to approve before we print your custom wallpaper design.

You can also purchase a physical wallpaper sample if you like. Keep in mind the extra shipping time, if you have a deadline to meet.

Your custom wallpaper ships within 10 days of receiving approval and arrives as per the normal delivery times.

Step 5: Hang Wallpaper Easily!

We always hang our wallpaper murals for the experts at Cityline so they can focus on putting the rest of the set together.  You can take advantage of our installation services in the greater Hamilton / Toronto areas of Ontario, too!  If you live elsewhere, find a pro at the Wallcovering Installers Association.

However, our wallpaper murals are easy to hang if you want to roll your sleeves up.  Just follow our installation video and your room is transformed in an afternoon.

More Ways to Make Customized Wallpaper

There are two other ways you can create your own wallpaper with us:

  1. Print a stock image (like celebrity designer Kimberley Seldon)
  2. From your own painting or photograph (like celebrity design Jackie Glass)
