The short answer
We install custom and ready-made wall murals across Delray Beach. Exact measurements, a smooth primed wall and careful panel matching produce a continuous image, and most murals are hung in one visit.
A mural is the closest thing to a painted artwork that you can install in a day. Printed on large panels and matched edge to edge, it can cover a whole wall with a landscape, a vintage illustration, an abstract wash of color or a lush tropical scene. In Delray Beach, where homes range from oceanfront condos to inland family houses, murals are a favorite for bedrooms, nurseries, dining rooms and offices. WallEdge Installation travels about five miles south from Boynton Beach to install them.
From idea to order
Murals come in two broad types. Ready-made murals are sold in set sizes and may need trimming or extra panels to fit your wall. Custom-sized murals are printed to your exact dimensions. For custom prints, getting the numbers right is everything. We measure the wall at several heights and widths, note any variation in the ceiling line, and locate outlets, switches, vents and trim. We then recommend the bleed margin your printer needs so we have room to trim to a perfect fit.
It is also worth asking the printer for a proof or a sample swatch. Colors on a screen often look different on a wall in Delray's bright natural light, and a sample lets you check before committing to the full print.
Composition decisions we make together
Very few walls are a perfect match for a mural's proportions, so some cropping is inevitable. We help you decide what to keep and what to give up. Key subjects like a figure, a bird, a palm trunk or the setting sun should land where they are easy to see and not behind a cabinet or a lamp. Horizon lines usually look best at a comfortable seated eye level. Text or straight architectural lines in the image should not bend into an inside corner.
- Keep focal points away from furniture that will sit against the wall
- Center the image on the bed, sofa or table, not only the wall
- Avoid placing faces or text near outlets and switches
- Decide in advance which edges can be trimmed most
Preparing Delray Beach walls
Large printed images show every flaw underneath, from nail pops to orange-peel texture. We fill, sand and skim as needed, then apply a wallpaper primer so the panels can be positioned precisely and later removed cleanly. In condo units with concrete walls, we check for moisture and for form lines or ridges that would show through. Older homes with plaster may need more smoothing to look crisp.
Because outdoor humidity climbs from May through October, we ask that the room be kept air-conditioned for a day or so before installation. Letting the mural panels sit in that room overnight also helps them acclimate.
Picking a mural material
Non-woven murals are our usual recommendation for Delray homes. They are stable in humidity, they are installed by pasting the wall, and they can be removed later without much fuss. Vinyl-coated murals add scrubbability for kids' rooms, kitchens and busy hallways. Peel-and-stick murals are easy to reposition, but warm, damp air can loosen them, so they belong on smooth walls in consistently cool rooms. Paper murals have a lovely matte finish but require more delicate handling during installation.
The installation itself
We lay the panels out in order and confirm the sequence. The first panel is set against a plumb line, and every following panel is matched to it at the seam. After each panel we step back across the room to look for any drift in the image. Openings are cut after the panel is in position so the scene continues naturally around windows and doors. Once everything is trimmed at the ceiling and baseboard, we wipe the surface, clean up, and walk you through care.
