How to Measure Walls Around Stairs

Measure Your Walls Correctly

Start by taking photos of every wall in the room you want to have wall murals. Take additional photos from different perspectives so nothing is missed.

Next, label each wall as Wall 1, Wall 2, Wall 3, and so on, following a clockwise direction around the room. This makes it easier to understand how the walls connect. If there are windows, doors, or other objects on the wall, measure those too. Note their width, height, and where they are placed on the wall.

Measurement Sketch Overview

Provide a sketch overview of all individual walls and connections together with all measurements similair to the one below. All individual walls height and width. Total height of stairs (from very bottom floor to ceiling). Width and height of all doors / windows etc, as well as the distance between these and closest ceiling / wall / floor. We need all measurements in order to mark where these occurs in the flatsketch in order to make the nice and seamless placement of the pattern (especially for the wallmurals that are not a repeated pattern).
