Mural Installation in Plantation, FL

The short answer

Luxury Wallpaper Installer installs wall murals in Plantation, FL homes, including measuring, wall prep, panel alignment and hanging. Because the area stays humid much of the year, we keep the home air-conditioned during the job and check the wall surface before any panel goes up.

A wall mural makes a bigger statement than standard wallpaper. It is a single image split across numbered panels, so every seam has to line up or the picture breaks apart. Luxury Wallpaper Installer hangs murals in Plantation homes, about 2 miles southwest of our base in Sunrise. We handle measuring, wall prep, panel layout, and hanging, whether you want a botanical scene behind a bed, a skyline in a home office, or a custom photo print in a child's room. Below is what goes into a clean mural installation and how we plan around South Florida's humidity.

Planning a Mural Before It's Ordered

Most mural problems start before the panels arrive. Many murals are printed to a specific size, so the wall needs to be measured carefully, including outlets, switches, vents, window trim, and any slope in the ceiling line. We measure the wall and talk through where the focal point of the image should land. For example, a tree trunk or a horizon line shouldn't end up hidden behind a headboard or cut off by a door frame.

We also suggest leaving extra image around the edges. Walls in many homes are not perfectly square, and that margin lets us trim to the actual corners and ceiling without losing important parts of the picture. If you're ordering a custom print, we can give you measurements to send to the manufacturer.

Wall Prep Comes First

A mural shows every flaw underneath it. Knockdown or orange-peel texture, nail holes, and old patch marks can show through, especially on smooth or glossy mural papers. Before hanging, we check the wall and decide what it needs.

Depending on the wall, prep can include:

  • Removing old wallpaper and adhesive residue
  • Filling holes and sanding patched areas flush
  • Skim coating textured walls so the image lies flat
  • Applying a wallpaper primer suited to the mural material so it bonds well and can be removed later
  • Taking off outlet and switch covers so panels can be trimmed cleanly around them

Hanging Murals in a Humid Climate

Plantation shares Fort Lauderdale's tropical climate, which has no fully dry season. May through October is hot, humid, and wet, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. November into April is warmer and drier. Humidity affects how paper and paste behave. Some materials expand when wet and shrink as they dry, which can open seams or cause bubbling if the room conditions swing too much.

To limit that, we ask homeowners to keep the air conditioning running before, during, and after the install so the room stays steady. We let materials sit in the room when the product calls for it, use the adhesive the manufacturer recommends, and check seams as the panels set. If you're planning a project during the Atlantic hurricane season, June 1 through November 30, it's worth building some flexibility into the schedule in case a storm disrupts power or travel.

Types of Murals We Install

Murals come in several materials, and each one hangs a little differently. We'll look at your product's instructions before starting and tell you if anything about the wall or room makes it a poor fit.

  • Paste-the-wall nonwoven murals, which are common and easier to remove later
  • Traditional paste-the-paper murals that need booking time
  • Vinyl and commercial-style murals for bathrooms and high-use rooms
  • Peel-and-stick murals, which need very smooth, clean walls to hold
  • Custom-printed photo and artwork murals sized to a specific wall

What to expect

How a visit goes

  1. Prep Comes First

    Most wallpaper problems start with the wall underneath. We remove old paper and adhesive, patch holes and cracks, smooth rough areas, and prime before hanging so the new paper bonds to a clean, even surface.

  2. Clear Communication

    We explain what your walls need, how long the job should take, and what to expect on install day. If we find hidden damage once old paper comes down, we show you and talk it through before going further.

  3. Respect for Your Home

    We cover floors, move and protect furniture as needed, and keep the work area tidy. When the job is done, we clean up trimmings, paste residue, and debris so you can use the room.

FAQ

Common questions

Don’t see your question? Call (561) 510-8212 and we’ll talk it through.

Do I need to buy the mural before contacting you?

No. It often helps to contact us first so we can measure the wall. That way you can order the right size and leave enough extra image for trimming.

Can a mural go over textured walls?

Usually not directly. Texture tends to show through and can weaken adhesion. In most cases we skim coat the wall smooth and prime it first.

How does humidity in Plantation affect a mural install?

Humidity can make paper expand and then shrink as it dries, which can open seams. Keeping the AC running and the room conditions steady during and after the install helps prevent that.

Are peel-and-stick murals a good choice here?

They can work on very smooth, clean, primed walls in rooms with steady air conditioning. In damp or textured spaces, a paste-applied mural usually holds better.

Can you install a mural in a bathroom?

Yes, as long as the material suits the room. Vinyl or other moisture-tolerant murals are better choices than standard paper in bathrooms with showers.

Do you serve areas outside Plantation?

Yes. Along with Plantation and our home base in Sunrise, we serve Lauderhill, Davie, Lauderdale Lakes, Tamarac, and Cooper City.
