It’s no secret that wallpaper has made quite the comeback in recent years, with digital wallpaper printing emerging as a major wallpaper printing technology. Custom printed wallpaper and wallcoverings are increasingly being used in all manner of settings including business, retail, hospitality premises and even in the home. In-fact the global market is forecast to reach $14.44 Billion by 2026, according to a report by Reports and Data.

Custom Printed Wallpaper offers endless interior design possibilities vs that what is achievable with generic or stock wallpapers. Why? Because digital wallpaper offers something that both a coat of paint and generic stock wallpapers can’t – ‘Unrestricted Creativity.’ With digital printing, wallpaper designers no longer have to repeat patters every 55-61cm. This breaking out of the box of ‘step and repeat’ is exciting to say the least and makes anything possible. High-resolution photo mural wallpapers and large scale designs are no longer an issue.
Since digital printing requires no rollers, digital wallpaper can have any colour imaginable. In-fact Interior Designers and Artists across the world are taking advantage of digitally printed wallpapers to design and integrate, unique, ‘one of one’ wallpapers, reflective of their client’s taste to enhance the look, feel and appeal of interior spaces. You can also:
There is a premium on individuality; People put a higher value on objects they have actually worked to produce. Digitally Printed Wallpaper falls into that category, allowing you to co-create your own unique product according to your particular tastes and needs. Offering more drama than paint, it’s a fun way to transform a room and reflect your personal style without breaking the bank.
Advances in digital print technology have contributed significantly to the rise in the demand for wallpaper and the growth of the digitally printed custom wallpaper market. The vibrancy that comes with digitally printed wallpaper is unparalleled. Photo and mural wallpapers are on the rise, with digital print technology delivering richer colours and reproducing images with lifelike sharpness; Ensuring your interior looks flawless and has a real wow factor.
There’s a famous saying, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ and that’s exactly what Digitally Printed Custom Wallpaper is. A conversation piece that speaks for you, your brand and/or organisation. In-fact FMRI neuro-imagery shows that when evaluating brands, consumers primarily use emotions (personal feelings and experiences). By choosing the right colours and images, you can create a conversation piece that elicits positive emotions and experiences.
In Office settings, digital wallpaper printing is being utilised to revitalize spaces that would otherwise be empty and dull, such as Corridors, Meeting Rooms and Breakout Areas. Here the visual atmosphere created by such custom wallcoverings enables designers to generate a bespoke environment that is reflective of the brand or organisations history, values and/or personality. Designs can be created in large scale, as well as patterns and designs that match your brand colours.
According to FESPA, the residential sector is projected to be the fastest-growing area within the digitally printed wallpaper market. This surge is largely driven by an increase in home renovations, fueling demand for creative interior decoration solutions.
A major factor behind this trend is the long-term value of wallpaper compared with interior paint. While paint may seem the more economical choice upfront, digitally printed wallpaper offers superior durability — lasting up to 15 years — and far greater resistance to everyday wear and tear. Beyond longevity, it also provides a level of visual impact and texture that paint simply can’t match.
As the Millennial Market continues to influence design trends with its strong preference for customisation and personalisation, it’s no surprise that custom printed wallpaper has become a key growth driver within the interior décor print sector — both in 2024 and beyond.
Installing and removing wallpaper USED to be a headache. However, growth in the demand and use of digitally printed wallpapers is in large due to advances in technology, with non-woven substrates that are durable, washable, scratch resistant, easy to install and remove. In-fact one of the major benefits of digitally printed, non-woven wallpapers is that they can be peeled from the wall without leaving stains or marks. Additionally, because digital wallpaper is made to measure and bespoke printed, they can be printed in drop-widths to suit your creative needs and/or installation requirements. Better still, custom printed wallpaper can even be printed as a single, one piece seamless wallcovering, whereas traditional wallpapers are generally only available in drop widths of 540-610mm.
The ‘jewel’ in the crown, Digimura 2.1 is a premium-quality, digitally printable wallpaper manufactured specifically for high-traffic, public and commercial spaces. Engineered to go one step further, Digimura 2.1 has an anti-microbial, biocide coating and is thus suitable for use in healthcare settings, food outlets, child-care and educational establishments. With a higher coating weight for improved opacity, Digimura 2.1 remains revolutionary and unbeatable.
Digimura® 1.1 is the experts choice for high-profile residential and commercial interior décor projects across the UK and on the Continent. Unlike Digimura® 2.1, Digimura® 1.1 does not come with the same unique lacquer and is thus best suited for personalised wallpapers where the higher opacity or biocide coating are not required.
Our eco friendly, single sheet wallcovering, Eco Titan, is designed to cover walls seamlessly and is a durable option that stays looking good for longer.
Suited to larger walls, this one piece wallcovering, can be printed up to 5m-wide x any height, or 5m-high x any width, without any visible seams.
It is available in a soft matt canvas finish which not only reduces glare, but helps disguise the irregularities in the surface of the wall, thus making it a quality and cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial interiors.
1) Measure the Height and Width of your wall
Ceilings and walls are not always straight, so we recommend measuring your wall with a margin of error by adding 10cm to both the width and height of your wall dimensions. You won’t be able to buy a roll or strips separately because the Wallpaper is custom-printed to your measurements.
2) Design and Upload Your Image and/or Design
For our range of digitally printable wallpaper, the best results are achieved when the resolution of the images are at least 125dpi at final print size (full size). However, it is also important to note that our digital wallpapers have a unique set of technical and creative considerations, especially for those using photographs or stock images.
When using photos or stock images it is important to make sure that your image is at least one pixel per millimeter of wallpaper. For example, if your wall is 4000mm wide (4meters) x 2000mm high (2meters), then your image needs to be at least 4000 x 2000 pixels. If you are unsure as to what this means, please email your Image and Wall Dimensions over to [email protected] and one of our Graphic Design experts will check the resolution of your file in relation to the overall size of your wall.
