Wallpaper, wall murals and canvas prints for Cape Town homes

Feature walls and full murals

Most people start with one wall, behind the bed, the sofa or the dining table. Our home murals include oversized dark peonies behind a wooden bed and a misty forest behind a white four-poster. Others show a monochrome tree-lined avenue and a black and white road cyclist at speed. Murals also suit small rooms. A fynbos and forest mural covers the walls of one narrow bathroom, and black and white jungle leaves fill a guest toilet. We print each mural to the size of the wall, as our wallpaper and murals page explains.

Wallpaper for a new home

A new house usually has plain walls in every room. Our new home wallpapers include birch trees up the sloped walls of an attic room and vintage cars in a child’s room. There is pale damask on a landing, red brick between two windows and a patterned small bathroom. Behind one bed there is a soft sky and mountain mural. We suggest plain or soft designs in most rooms and a bold pattern in only one or two. This stops the house from looking too busy.

How we hang wallpaper

Our wood wallpaper install shows each step. First there is a bare white bedroom wall. Then our installer hangs the whitewashed wood-plank paper one length at a time. The last photo shows the finished wall. Wallpaper printed to look like wood or brick suits kitchens, studies and bedrooms, and needs no building work.

Before we hang any paper, the wall must be smooth, solid and dry. Fill any cracks and let fresh paint cure. Send us photos so we can check for damp or uneven plaster before we quote.

Canvas prints, glass film and house signs

We print your own photographs on canvas or fine art paper, stretched or framed. One example is the large framed print of a white horse in our canvas and fine art work. We also print film for glass door panes. In our window film projects, a Rembrandt portrait and Girl with a Pearl Earring are printed across the panes of wooden glass doors. At the gate, a lit house sign like 4 on Swallow helps visitors find your house at night.
