Personalised Photo Wallpaper

Custom Printed Wallpaper: How it works

We offer a unique wall covering product, available at any size, suitable for wallpaper borders, murals or as full wall covering wallpaper. Your overall wall size is broken down into sections and wallpaper is supplied as separate drops that connect together. The personalised photo wallpaper is hung in the same way as conventional wallpaper, and full instructions will be provided with your order. Normal wallpaper paste like Solvite Extra Strong or Murabond work well on our standard paper, and you can select spray the wall for our premium ready pasted paper.

Step1: Measure up.
Use a tape measure to measure the width and height of your wall. If the area is over 1m wide or high we recommend repeat measuring at 1m intervals (as your wall's may not be totally straight). Take the largest width and height, then add 8cm. This gives you 4cm bleed/extra fabric to trim off after you have installed your wallpaper, ensuring your wall is totally covered.

Step 2: Upload your design.
Upload your image, enter your dimensions into the width and height boxes, then position your image until happy. If our low quality warning appears try scaling your image down, or adding a tile effect.

Step 3: Choose your material.
We offer 4 types of wallpaper.

Custom Printed Wallpaper For A Feature Wall Using Your Photos Or Collage On Wallpaper

Scaling your photos up to cover the entire surface of a wall with custom personalised wallpaper will lift your living space to a new level. Use Contrado photo wallpaper to create a feature wall in your home or business that’s guaranteed to have a huge impact. Print any image or pattern you like, or even create a montage of treasured family photos.

Our special image-printing wallpaper is a bright matt material with exceptional print quality. The material has a soft nubuck feel to the surface, and is super strong- so no need to worry about tears and rips. We use only eco-friendly water-based inks, and no dot-matrix patterns as we use continuous tone printing (3,000dpi equiv.). Our bespoke wallpaper is used by Maharishi, Harvey Nichols, Paul Smith shop interiors, and several ITV sets; and of course, it’s used and enjoyed in living rooms, bedrooms and public spaces across the land. Ideal for use in busy passageways and high-traffic corridors like hotels and universities as it won’t tear or scruff. Great fun for kids bedrooms, or as a feature wall in a dining space.

How To Price Your Personalised Wallpaper

Measure your chosen wall accurately. We price by the square metre, so if your wall measures 3m x 3m, you’ll need 9 square metres of wallpaper. Press start design above, add the dimensions X and Y of your wall to our system, and we will price the area in our system for you. We plan out the drops and width of the your paper rolls, as well as applying bleed areas, and trimming your design so there are no white spaces or borders.

Once you’ve set your dimensions, simply upload your images and place using our online design system. We’ll take care of the rest, and our artwork team will check your images before we print for any obvious mistakes.

Wallpaper Details And Features

Choose your own drop width: You can choose the drop width of your wallpaper. We offer a drop width of either 62.5 cm or 125 cm. This will determine how wide each sheet of your wallpaper is, or each 'drop' - from floor to ceiling. 

The details and features of personalised wallpaper will do wonders on your home interior. Both our papers are wipe-clean friendly and scratch-proof, so are very suitable for busy family homes. You can have custom wallpaper in days that will brighten up your living room, dining room or kitchen for the whole family to enjoy.   

Why Not Try a Photo Montage Wallpaper?

One of the great things about custom printing personalised wallpaper is that you can print whatever you like.

With such a huge space to cover, your images are going to appear very large: so why not consider printing a large montage print to show off your treasured collection of family photos? We design your collage automatically in our system, so it couldn’t be easier.

Printing Your Photo or Map on Wallpaper

Photo wallpaper can turn your child’s room into an imaginary fantasy land, give your new business a friendly and approachable look, or transform a hallway to a chic space. Use photos from holidays, photos of city skylines, maps, landscape photos and portraits to make imaginative custom wallpaper that will create innovative and exciting spaces for indoor and annex room design purposes. Map wallpaper is attractive and can capture your local area: or you may even find vintage maps that can be printed in your town archives or local library.

TIP!: We are here to advise if there is anything you need to discuss before installation. Once the material has been applied to the wall, the product is deemed accepted and cannot be claimed as defective due to variations in mounting, adhesives, handling, and local environment (including humidity, heat, weathering). Once you decide to cover the wall, we cannot be held liable for preparing or pasting wall. Please note: Whilst it may be possible to use on ceilings, we recommend using your wallpaper exclusively on vertical walls to get the best guaranteed finish.
