The short answer
WallEdge Installation installs printed wallpaper murals in Lake Worth Beach homes and condos. We help size the mural to your wall before you order, prep the surface so the image lies flat, and line up every panel so the picture reads as one continuous scene.
Lake Worth Beach has an artsy, colorful streak, and plenty of residents want that same spirit inside their homes. A printed wallpaper mural can bring a wall to life with an ocean horizon, a jungle canopy, an abstract wash of color or a reproduction of a classic artwork. WallEdge Installation hangs these large-format murals in houses and condos throughout ZIP 33460, roughly 6 miles north of our base in Boynton Beach. The difference between a mural that looks like art and one that looks like a poster comes down to sizing, panel alignment and wall prep, and those are the parts we focus on.
Common mural choices we see
People in Lake Worth Beach often pick imagery tied to the coast and the tropics: palms, waves, birds, sunsets, and soft watercolor seascapes. Others go a different direction entirely with bold graphic shapes, moody florals, Japanese-inspired landscapes, or vintage-style travel prints. A child's room might get a forest, an underwater scene or a starry sky.
Any of these can work. The important question is not which image, but how it fits your wall. A scene with a strong horizon line needs that line at a sensible height. A central subject, such as a single large flower or a bird in flight, needs to land in the middle of open wall, not behind furniture.
Sizing before you click order
Murals are printed to fixed dimensions, often custom ones. If the print comes up short, there is no extra pattern to borrow. Getting the measurements right is the first and most important step.
We measure each wall at the top, middle and bottom, and at both ends, because older Lake Worth Beach homes rarely have perfectly square rooms. We then add bleed on every edge so the image can be trimmed cleanly at the ceiling, floor and corners.
- Width at three heights, using the largest measurement
- Height at both sides and the center
- Locations of outlets, switches, vents and thermostats
- Notes on any trim, crown molding or chair rail that will cut into the image
Wall surface matters more with a mural
A mural is often printed with large areas of smooth color, such as open sky or still water. Those surfaces show every bump, ridge and nail pop behind them. Before installation, we fill and sand imperfections and, where needed, skim coat textured walls so the image lies flat.
We also prime with a wallcovering primer. It seals the wall so the paste dries evenly and helps the panels slide into position during alignment. Later, if you change your mind about the mural, the primer makes removal much cleaner.
Coastal conditions and mural materials
Living close to the ocean means humid, salty air for long stretches of the year, especially from May through October. Non-woven murals and vinyl murals generally handle these conditions well in air-conditioned homes. Fabric-backed vinyl is a good fit for bathrooms or rooms with more moisture.
Peel-and-stick murals are easy to put up but can lose grip on hot, humid walls, and their edges may lift near sliding doors that open often onto patios or balconies. If removability is the priority, we can help you weigh which products tend to hold up better in coastal homes.
Installation day in brief
We lay out the panels in order to confirm the sequence and look for print defects. The first panel goes up against a plumb line, and each panel after that is matched to the image on its neighbor. Once the full mural is up, we trim the bleed, cut neatly around outlets with the power off, and wipe the surface clean of any paste. Keep the air conditioning steady for a few days afterward so the adhesive sets evenly.
