Customer Reviews - Desert on The Night Abstract Natural Backgrounds - Wall Murals

Lots of swearing to put this bad boy up. And it looks great in my salon. Added some color changing lights for a different vibe.

The image looks great, however, I wish they had numbered the sheets. I don't have space to spread it out anywhere so I ended up moving a few panels at least twice. No damage to the walls when shifting the panels. Also, if you have the orange peel wall texture it will not stick very well. When they say flat and smooth they mean it. It held well for a few days then started to come loose. I'm going to trim it out which should solve this problem- but if that is something you are unwilling to do and you have the textured walls you'll have to use some extra adhesive.
Your best buddy on this will be one of those plastic smoothing tools you can find at any home improvement store, without it you WILL have bubbles.
Overall worth the money, fairly simple to get up- but take your time to line it up correctly or the whole effect will feel off.

I was a little worried that this would be difficult to put up, having read some of the reviews. But since some people seemed to have not problem and liked the results, I went for it. While I still don't understand how people put with up without a second person, it is do-able with patience and forethought. We are super happy with the result. It truly feels like we have a forest in our bedroom. Amazing. I added some photos, one in progress and one finished. It will be difficult to not put one in each room!

Easy to put up, love the self stick. Looks great!

love it! makes my bedroom look very peaceful!

Product was OK, however came with bare packaging WITHOUT any instruction. As a result did not know that the part had an overlay of about 1-inch.

Overall we are very very pleased with this product. It really changes the whole dynamic of the room. With that said, here are a few tips to keep in mind when installing.
1. The seams are made to overlap, but my particular mural seemed to vary between about 5mm to 1cm in overlap. Look closely before peeling back the layers to find spots where the design is the same on each panel, then use that as your reference when applying each panel.
2. You're gonna have some small bubbles or creases here and there. We lucked out in that our mural was a rather busy design. If you are 50/50 on a couple designs, pick the one that's busier. It'll give you more to look at, but it'll also do a better job of hiding these inevitable bubbles/creases.
3. If you end up screwing up(like I did) and have a spot where there's a gap between panels..don't worry. If you're like us, you'll probably end up trimming the mural on either the sides of the wall, or the top/bottom. Save these small strips because they are often visually similar enough to cut to size to cover the gaps. I also did this to cover a spot where I didn't cut the mural perfectly along the ceiling. You'd never be able to tell the difference unless you were looking for it. This is another area where a busy design helps you mask imperfections.
4. I used my hand to smooth this out at first, then I realized that a dry paint roller isn't bad either. The vinyl is durable, but I don't know that I'd want to use a brush like the instructions say to do. A hand or paint roller works just fine.
5. I drew a vertical line on the wall before installing the first panel. I recommend this to get things started off on the right track. Subsequent panels you're probably gonna have to more/less eyeball, but with 6 panels per 100x144" mural, you probably won't get too out of whack before you're done.
6. When it comes to outlets, you should probably remove the face plates before installing. After you cut the opening for the outlet or whatever, replace the plate for a super clean look.
7. If your wall is shorter than the mural, don't be afraid to attach that first panel with a few inches of overhang on top. You can always come back and trim it, and this will assure that if your wall isn't perfectly square/level/plub, or you are a little bit off with your placement of subsequent panels, you won't end up with a gap at the top. You can always come back and trim the excess.
8. If your mural has more interesting features at the top/bottom/left/right, you'll want to factor that into where you trim. In our case, we had a forest scene with an awesome green grassy area at the bottom. Because of that, I trimmed the excess 14" from the top.
9. If you do have to trim a good sized section (maybe a foot or more), save those mini panels. You can use them to add a slice of nature in a closet or laundry room or something like that.
10. Beware that these panels have very strong adhesive. yes, technically you could peel them off whenever you want, but just during the install, I had to peel up a section or two that I screwed up, and in two places it ripped a big chunk off the face of our drywall. It was janky drywall, so I'm not blaming the mural..but just be aware that if your drywall is in similar condition, expect similar results.
Great product. Not the easiest thing you'll install, but take your time and think ahead and you'll be ok. My only regret is that we didn't do this sooner. If I had to nit-pick, I just wish they offered this product in a wider size. We easily would have paid another 30% or so for a size just a few feet wider so it would cover our entire wall.

Difficult to not fold, or leave a line between pages. Very beautiful, but my kids had to help me put it up.

After searching for over a year for the perfect mural and price I was able to find this mural. I was a bit skeptical because of how low the price was but it worked out fantastic. The size matched up exactly to the size it said. I look forward to getting more in the future. Absolutely love it. It was easy to match since each panel overlaps with the next one
