How can I measure my wall ?
How can I measure my wall ?
Measure the maximum width and height of the area you want to wallpaper, using centimetres. For sloping walls, use the widest and tallest points. Include doors and windows in the overall measurements, as the wallpaper is trimmed around them during installation.
If you’re covering multiple walls, measure each wall’s width separately and record the maximum height. Check our wallpaper measuring guide for diagrams and guidance on trimming allowances before ordering.

How do I prepare my walls before installing wallpaper?
How do I prepare my walls before installing wallpaper?
Your wall should be clean, dry, smooth and sound before installing wallpaper. Remove dust, grease, loose paint and old wallpaper, then fill holes or cracks and sand any uneven areas.
Allow fresh paint and primer to fully cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For peel-and-stick wallpaper, test a sample on your wall first, as paint finishes and surface texture can affect adhesion.
Preparation requirements vary by material. Follow our wallpaper installation guide and the instructions supplied with your order before starting.
Can you recommend a professional wallpaper installer?
Can you recommend a professional wallpaper installer?
Yes. Visit our professional wallpaper installers directory to find installer contact details and service areas.
Contact the installer directly to confirm availability and request a quote. Include your location, wall measurements, wallpaper material and photos of the wall so they can assess the work required.
Installation is arranged and paid for separately from your wallpaper order.
What wallpaper materials can I choose from?
What wallpaper materials can I choose from?
Our custom-printed wallpapers are available in two materials, depending on the design:
- Paste-the-wall: a PVC-free non-woven wallpaper installed using wallpaper paste.
- Removable peel-and-stick: a self-adhesive fabric that can be repositioned during installation, with no wallpaper paste required.
Check your chosen product page for available options and compare their features in our wallpaper materials guide. We recommend ordering a sample in the same material you intend to purchase.
Our Tokiwa Japanese wallpapers are a separate range of imported wallcoverings, supplied by the roll with design-specific materials.

Can I install wallpaper myself?

Yes. Our removable peel-and-stick and paste-the-wall wallpapers can be installed as a DIY project with careful preparation, the right tools and attention to the instructions.
Peel-and-stick wallpaper has a self-adhesive backing, while paste-the-wall wallpaper requires suitable wallpaper paste applied to the wall. Having a second person help can make positioning and aligning panels easier.

Will my wallpaper colours look exactly like they do on screen?
Will my wallpaper colours look exactly like they do on screen?
Colours can vary between a screen and printed wallpaper. Screen settings, room lighting and your chosen wallpaper material can all affect how the design appears.
We recommend ordering a sample in the same material you intend to purchase and viewing it in your room’s natural and artificial light before placing your wallpaper order.
For your own artwork, supplying a CMYK file helps communicate your intended print colours, but an exact screen-to-print match cannot be guaranteed. Explore our wallpaper materials guide to compare the available finishes.
Can I order an additional or replacement wallpaper panel?
Can I order an additional or replacement wallpaper panel?
Yes. Email prints@kaleon.com.au with your original order number, the panel you need and any relevant photos. For wall murals, include the panel number or its position in the design so we can check the correct section.
We’ll review your order and confirm whether we can reproduce the panel. If you supplied your own artwork, we may need you to resend the original file.
Panels printed in a separate batch may have slight colour differences, so an exact match cannot be guaranteed. Check your quantities carefully before ordering, using our wallpaper measuring guide.
Can I order wallpaper samples before buying?
Can I order wallpaper samples before buying?
Yes! A3 samples of our custom-printed wallpapers are available for AUD $12 each, including GST. Order directly from your chosen design’s product page and select the same material you intend to purchase for your wallpaper.
Use your sample to check the colour and texture in your room. For peel-and-stick wallpaper, you can also test adhesion on your prepared wall before placing a full order.
Compare the options in our wallpaper materials guide. Samples are not currently available for Tokiwa wallcoverings.
Is your wallpaper scratch-resistant?
Is your wallpaper scratch-resistant?
Scratch resistance varies by wallpaper material. Everyday contact and cleaning can affect each finish differently, and sharp objects or abrasive rubbing may damage the printed surface.
We recommend ordering a sample in your chosen material to assess its texture and suitability for your space. For hallways, commercial interiors or areas exposed to frequent contact, email prints@kaleon.com.au for advice before ordering.
Explore our wallpaper materials guide to compare the available options.
How wide are your wallpaper panels?
How wide are your wallpaper panels?
Our custom-printed wallpaper panels are normally 60 cm wide. Check your chosen product page for the available panel heights or mural dimensions.
For wall murals, the final panel may need trimming to fit your wall. Follow the panel layout and installation instructions supplied with your order.
Tokiwa wallcoverings are supplied by the roll rather than as Kaleon’s printed panels. Check each product page for roll dimensions.
