Wallpaper for New Zealand homes, printed to order in Sydney

Our printed wallpaper and murals are produced to order in Sydney, Australia, and shipped to New Zealand. You can browse online whether you are planning a feature wall in Auckland, refreshing a bedroom in Wellington or choosing a mural for a Christchurch home.

Start with the effect you want to create. A repeating pattern can give a room a consistent rhythm, while a mural creates a larger composition across the wall. Before ordering, check the available dimensions on your chosen product and contact us if you need help with sizing or layout.

Three wallpaper ideas to start with

You do not need to redesign an entire room to introduce wallpaper. Choose one wall, then connect its colours to something already in the space: timber furniture, curtains, bed linen or a favourite artwork. These three Kaleon designs offer different starting points.

1. Wild Meadow Botanical: a gentle floral feature wall

Wild Meadow Botanical Wallpaper combines flowers and leafy stems in a loose, painterly arrangement. Consider it for a reading corner or home office where you want detail without a rigid geometric pattern. Pair the white colourway with light timber and simple accessories to let the artwork lead.

For a bedroom, pick one accent colour from the design and repeat it in your cushions or bedding. Browse more botanical wallpaper designs if you love a nature-inspired interior.

2. Soft Linen: a quiet backdrop for a neutral room

Soft Linen brings a printed woven look to a neutral bedroom.

If you prefer understated walls, Soft Linen Wallpaper in Beige offers the appearance of woven fabric in a printed design. It is a useful starting point for a room with warm timber, cream upholstery or earthy accessories.

We would choose this look when the furniture or artwork already makes a statement. It adds visual interest while leaving room for the rest of your interior to stand out. The linen effect is printed; it is not a natural linen wallcovering.

3. Ethereal Forest Canopy: an airy botanical mural

Ethereal Forest Canopy in soft white, an option for a bedroom feature wall.

Ethereal Forest Canopy is a soft white botanical mural with a light, delicate composition. Our styling suggestion is to place it behind a bed or along an uncluttered living room wall, where the larger artwork has room to be seen.

Before choosing a mural, think about where your tallest furniture will sit. A headboard or cabinet may cover part of the artwork, so share a wall photo and measurements with us if you would like help planning the layout.

Peel and stick or paste-the-wall wallpaper?

The right choice depends on your wall surface and installation preferences. These featured designs offer peel and stick and paste-the-wall options; check your selected product before ordering.

  • Peel and stick: a self-adhesive backing means no separate wallpaper paste is required. Test a sample on your wall first, particularly if you are considering removable wallpaper for a rental. Paint condition and surface compatibility matter, and renters should check permission requirements.
  • Paste the wall: this option uses a suitable wallpaper adhesive applied to the prepared wall. Allow time for surface preparation and follow the installation instructions for your material.

Read our wallpaper materials guide to compare the options before you decide.

How to order wallpaper from New Zealand

  1. Choose your design. Start with the room, your existing colours and the scale of pattern you enjoy.
  2. Try an A3 sample. The featured products offer sample options. Use one to assess colour in your own lighting and test the selected material on your wall.
  3. Measure carefully. Follow our wallpaper measuring guide, check the product dimensions and allow for trimming as instructed.
  4. Select New Zealand. Use the store's country selector to view NZD pricing, then enter your delivery address at checkout.

Why Does Wallpaper Colour Look Different Online? Lighting, Materials & Samples Explained

Why Does Wallpaper Colour Look Different Online? Lighting, Materials & Samples Explained

You find the perfect wallpaper online. The colour is exactly what you were looking for. Then the sample arrives and it looks slightly warmer, cooler, lighter or darker than it did on your phone. Is something wrong? Not necessarily. Colour is one of the most misunderstood parts of buying wallpaper online because digital colour and printed colour are fundamentally different experiences. Here is what you should know before ordering. 1. Your screen produces colour using light A phone, tablet or computer screen is illuminated from behind. Printed wallpaper is not. Wallpaper reflects the light that already exists in your room. That difference alone means a printed surface cannot look exactly the same as a glowing digital display under every condition. Your device settings can also change what you see. Brightness, colour profile, Night Shift, blue-light reduction and display calibration can all affect colour. This is why online images should be considered an excellent design reference — but not a perfect physical colour reference. 2. Your room changes the colour Now take the exact same wallpaper sample and move it from one room to another. It can appear different again. Why? Because colour is influenced by the light surrounding it. Natural daylight, warm lamps, cool LED lighting and indirect light can all change how a wallpaper feels. Your furniture also matters. Timber floors, coloured curtains, cabinetry, rugs and even large pieces of furniture can reflect colour onto nearby surfaces. 3. Look at your sample throughout the day Do not decide whether you like a wallpaper sample after looking at it for 30 seconds. Place it on the actual wall. Then look at it: In the morning Around midday In the afternoon At night with your normal lights switched on You may discover that the colour you loved at midday feels completely different in the evening. That information is valuable. It is exactly what a sample is supposed to show you. 4. The wallpaper material also affects colour This is extremely important. Two different wallpaper materials can produce slightly different visual results even when the exact same artwork is printed. The base colour, surface texture, absorbency and finish of the material can all influence the final appearance. At Kaleon, our Paste the Wall and Peel & Stick wallpapers are different substrates. Because of this, a sample should ideally be ordered on the same material you intend to purchase for the final wall. If you sample one material and order another, you should expect that there may be a colour difference. 5. Texture changes how we perceive colour Colour is not only about ink. Surface texture affects the way light is scattered and reflected. A completely smooth surface and a subtly textured surface can therefore make the same colour feel slightly different. This is particularly noticeable with: Beige Cream Sage Grey Dusty pink Soft blue Other subtle neutral shades When selecting nuanced colours, samples become even more valuable. 6. Why re-orders can vary slightly Whenever possible, order all wallpaper required for the same wall or room together. Wallpaper produced at different times can have minor variations between print batches. For a large feature wall or a continuous installation, ordering everything together provides the best opportunity for visual consistency. 7. How to test a wallpaper sample properly Instead of holding the sample in your hand, attach it temporarily to the wall. Stand several metres away. Look at it beside: Your flooring Your sofa Curtains Cabinetry Bed linen Existing paint colours Then move the sample to another area of the same wall. The goal is not only to ask: “Do I like this colour?” Ask: “Do I like this colour in this room?” That is a much better question. 8. Don't forget pattern scale A sample can show you colour and material beautifully, but it may only show part of a large wallpaper design. Always look at both: The physical sample The complete design shown online This helps you understand both the real-world colour and the overall composition.

How to Turn Your Own Photo or Artwork Into a Custom Wallpaper Mural

How to Turn Your Own Photo or Artwork Into a Custom Wallpaper Mural

A photograph from a holiday. An illustration. A painting. A company graphic. A piece of digital artwork. Almost any of these can potentially become an entire wall. But printing an image three metres wide is very different from viewing it on a phone. Before creating a custom wallpaper mural, there are several things worth checking. Start with the original file Whenever possible, send the original image. Avoid: Screenshots Images downloaded from social media Photos sent repeatedly through messaging apps Images copied from websites Heavily compressed JPEGs These versions may look fine on a phone while containing far less information than the original file. For large-format printing, more original image information gives us more flexibility. Resolution is important — but it is not everything People often ask: “How many DPI does my photo need?” For professional print preparation, Kaleon generally works with high-quality TIFF or JPG files and ideally aims for approximately 150–300 dpi at final output size, depending on the artwork and application. Vector artwork can be supplied as formats such as AI, PDF or EPS. But resolution is only one part of image quality. A technically large image can still look poor if it is: Out of focus Motion blurred Heavily compressed Over-sharpened Very noisy Focused on the wrong subject This is why we prefer to assess the actual image rather than relying exclusively on one resolution number. Focus matters enormously Imagine a photograph of a flower where the stem is perfectly sharp but the flower itself is slightly out of focus. On a phone, the difference may barely be noticeable. Enlarge that image across a three-metre wall and the difference becomes much more obvious. Image enhancement can sometimes improve clarity and reduce certain artefacts. What it cannot genuinely do is recreate all the optical detail that the camera never captured. For custom murals, start with the sharpest original image available. Check the proportions of the image Suppose your wall is very wide and relatively short. But your photograph is vertical. Something has to happen. Either: The image needs significant cropping Empty areas need to be creatively extended The composition needs to be redesigned Another image may be more appropriate Before printing, consider where the important elements of your image will sit. A person's face, an animal, a flower or a logo should not accidentally disappear behind a doorway or get cut off by the ceiling. Measure the wall before finalising the crop The artwork should be prepared for the wall — not the other way around. Measure the full width and height of the wall and provide accurate dimensions. At Kaleon, we recommend adding approximately 10 cm to both the width and height to provide trimming allowance and help accommodate walls that are not perfectly square. If your wall contains doors, windows, slopes or other architectural features, tell us before the artwork is prepared. What about artwork and illustrations? Digital illustrations can often be excellent candidates for large murals. Vector files are particularly useful because shapes and lines can generally be enlarged without the same pixel limitations as photographs. If your original artwork is physical — such as a painting or drawing — a high-quality scan or professional photograph is recommended. Can AI improve a low-resolution image? Sometimes. Modern image enhancement tools can increase image dimensions, reduce noise and improve perceived sharpness. But enlargement should not be confused with recovering genuine lost detail. AI enhancement is most useful when the original image is already reasonably good and simply needs help reaching a larger production size. It is much less effective when the source is badly blurred, extremely compressed or incorrectly focused. Consider viewing distance A wallpaper mural is not normally viewed from 20 centimetres away like a printed photograph in your hand. Large-scale images are designed to be experienced as part of a room. This means the practical suitability of an image depends on: Wall dimensions Image quality Artwork style Amount of fine detail Expected viewing distance This is another reason professional file assessment is valuable. Before sending your custom artwork Check these five things: Send the original file whenever possible. Tell us the exact wall dimensions. Explain which part of the image must remain visible. Mention doors, windows or furniture that affect the composition. Do not enlarge or heavily edit the file unnecessarily before sending it. We can then assess the artwork before production. Make the wall personal Custom wallpaper is one of the few interior finishes that can be completely unique to you. Instead of choosing an image simply because it fits the wall, start with something that means something. The technical part can usually be solved afterwards. Kaleon Wallpaper produces custom murals and wallpaper in Sydney, Australia, and can review customer-supplied artwork before it goes into production.

Can You Put Wallpaper on Textured Walls? What You Need to Know Before Ordering

Can You Put Wallpaper on Textured Walls? What You Need to Know Before Ordering

Can wallpaper go directly onto a textured wall? Sometimes — but the texture of the wall matters much more than many people realise. Wallpaper performs best on a surface that is smooth, clean, dry, stable and properly prepared. If the wall has texture, two separate problems can occur: The wallpaper may not make consistent contact with the surface. The wall texture may remain visible through the wallpaper. This means the question is not simply whether wallpaper will stick. The better question is: Will the wallpaper stick properly and still look good once it is installed? Why wall texture matters Wallpaper follows the surface underneath it. If your wall has bumps, ridges, deep roller marks or an uneven plaster finish, wallpaper will not magically make those imperfections disappear. In fact, certain lighting conditions can make them even more noticeable. Light coming sideways across a wall — from a large window, for example — can create tiny shadows over imperfections underneath the wallpaper. This is particularly noticeable with: Light-coloured wallpaper Minimal designs Large areas of solid colour Smooth finishes Walls with strong natural side lighting Busier botanical, abstract or darker designs may visually disguise small imperfections better, but they do not solve an adhesion problem. Very light texture A very subtle texture may sometimes be suitable after appropriate preparation. Run your hand across the wall and look at it from the side rather than directly in front. If the texture is barely noticeable, sanding, cleaning and priming may be enough. However, we still recommend testing the actual wallpaper material before proceeding with a complete wall. Medium texture If you can clearly feel the texture with your hand or see small peaks and valleys across the surface, additional preparation is usually worthwhile. A skim coat can be applied over the wall to create a smoother surface before sanding and priming. This extra work may seem unnecessary when you are excited to install the wallpaper, but the wall preparation can make a significant difference to the final result. Heavy texture Wallpaper should generally not be installed directly over heavily textured plaster, rough render, brick or similar surfaces. The wallpaper may only contact the highest points of the wall, reducing adhesion and creating visible pockets underneath the material. The best approach is normally to create a new smooth surface before wallpaper installation. Peel & Stick vs Paste the Wall on textured surfaces Peel & Stick wallpaper relies on consistent surface contact between the self-adhesive backing and the wall. If the surface is significantly textured, the adhesive may only touch the raised areas. For that reason, Peel & Stick is best installed on smooth surfaces. Paste the Wall wallpaper also performs best on a smooth wall, although the separate wallpaper adhesive can make it a more appropriate option for some long-term installations once the wall has been correctly prepared. Neither product should be used as a shortcut for fixing a poor wall. A simple test before ordering Before purchasing wallpaper for a textured wall: Step 1: Look at the wall under daylight and artificial light. Step 2: Run your hand across the surface. Step 3: Hold a straight object against the wall and look for significant gaps underneath it. Step 4: Check for loose paint, dust, cracks or moisture. Step 5: Order a wallpaper sample and test it on the actual surface whenever possible. A few minutes spent assessing the wall can prevent a much larger problem after installation. Should you choose a darker design for an imperfect wall? Potentially. A darker, detailed or painterly wallpaper can make subtle surface irregularities less noticeable than a very pale design with large areas of flat colour. But design should only be considered after the wall is structurally suitable. A beautiful pattern cannot compensate for loose paint, moisture, deep texture or an unstable surface. When should you call a professional? Consider speaking with a wallpaper installer or plasterer when: The texture is clearly visible The wall has previously been repaired Paint is peeling The wall has moisture damage You are unsure whether it requires skim coating The project involves an expensive custom mural Preparing the surface correctly is almost always cheaper than replacing wallpaper after an unsuccessful installation. Final advice Wallpaper can absolutely transform a textured-wall room — but the transformation begins before the wallpaper goes up. For the best finish, think of the wall as the canvas. The smoother and more stable the canvas, the better the finished wallpaper will look. Kaleon Wallpaper prints custom wallpaper and wall murals in Sydney, Australia, with both Paste the Wall and Peel & Stick options available for a wide range of interiors.
