Urban Wallpaper Made to Measure for Australian Walls
Urban wallpaper is a printed wall covering that brings city skylines, streets and architecture indoors. The range spans skyline murals, graffiti scenes, concrete textures and industrial city looks. It works in living rooms, home offices, cafes and study nooks across Australia. Pair it with timber, slim black frames and warm linen for an easy modern feel. Giffywalls specialises in custom sized peel and stick wallpapers and large scale murals, providing made to measure wall coverings for residential and commercial spaces.
Urban Murals That Brings the City Home
Urban wallpaper recreates the look of a city on a single wall. Think skyline views, busy streets and bold building lines. The style suits people who love a modern gallery feel at home. It also works well in cafes, studios and shared work areas. A skyline mural behind a sofa gives a room instant focus. Many buyers in Sydney and Melbourne choose it for inner city flats. The look pairs city energy with calm neutral rooms. You get drama without heavy colour. For more city scenes, browse our city wallpaper range and keep the rest of the room plain.
Popular urban wallpaper styles include:
- City skyline and panoramic city views
- Graffiti and street art murals
- Concrete and industrial city textures
- City map and black and white city scenes
- Neon city and rooftop night views
City Skyline and Street Looks
A city skyline mural reads as quiet luxury when colours stay soft. A city street scene adds movement and depth. Both make small rooms feel taller and wider.
Styling a City Wall Mural With Your Decor
A city wall mural sits best with simple modern pieces. Match it with timber sideboards, cane chairs or a linen sofa. Black metal frames pick up the line work in skyline art. Warm whites and soft greys let the mural lead. For a Hamptons style room, choose a pale misty cityscape. For a warehouse or Federation home, raw concrete and industrial finishes feel right. Keep soft furnishings calm so the wall stays the hero. One or two cushions in a single accent tone is enough. Brisbane and Perth clients often pair city murals with light oak floors. The result feels current but still warm.
Pairing Colours and Materials
Charcoal and rust tones suit a graffiti wall murals theme. Cool greys match a concrete city look. Stick to two main tones across the room.
Best Rooms and Walls for a Cityscape Mural
Urban wallpaper works best on the largest unbroken wall in a room. In a living room, place it behind the sofa, not the screen. In a bedroom, use the wall behind the bed head. Home offices gain energy from a skyline or city map design. Small study nooks suit a tighter street or rooftop view. North facing rooms in Adelaide stay bright, so darker city tones hold up. South facing rooms suit lighter panoramic city scenes. High ceilings handle tall skyscraper murals with ease. For low ceilings, a wide skyline keeps the eye moving sideways. For monochrome looks, see our black and white city designs before you commit.
Accent Wall and Open Plan Ideas
An accent wall zones an open plan space with no building work. A city map design marks a study or reading corner. Keep nearby walls plain for balance.
Peel and Stick, Removable and Self Adhesive Options
Most city designs come in peel and stick and paste the wall finishes. Peel and stick is a removable option, ideal for renters and quick updates. It lifts away cleanly and leaves walls in good shape. Self adhesive panels line up edge to edge for a smooth join. Paste the wall suits long term rooms and busy hallways. To clean light marks, wipe gently with a soft damp cloth. In humid Gold Coast homes, keep murals out of wet zones. Read our installation guide before you start. We offer free and fast shipping on every order across Australia.
Care and Renter Friendly Tips
A removable urban wall covering is a smart pick for a leased flat. Test a small area first if a wall is freshly painted. Soft cloths keep prints looking fresh.
Urban Murals for New Homes and Work Spaces
People reach for urban wallpaper at clear turning points. A new home or fresh lease is a common one. A city look gives a blank space instant character. Owners of cafes and studios use it to set a strong mood. Coworking spaces and teen bedrooms suit bold street art and neon city tones. A work from home upgrade often starts with one skyline wall. For more on this, see our ways to refresh a modern room. Canberra buyers pick calm panoramic views for quiet study rooms. The right scene can lift focus and energy at once. It is a simple change with a big visual payoff.
Why an Urban Look Suits Modern Australian Homes
An urban look brings movement, depth and a clear point of focus to a room. It suits living rooms, home offices, cafes and teen spaces alike. Pair it with timber, soft neutrals and slim black frames for a modern finish. Renters can choose peel and stick, while busy rooms suit paste the wall. From Sydney flats to Perth studios, the style fits relaxed Australian interiors. Pick one feature wall and let the city tell its story.

FAQs
Which materials is best for wallpaper?
Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.
How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?
Measure the wall's width and height, adding 2–4 inches for trimming. Check for obstacles like windows or doors and note their dimensions. Double-check measurements before ordering!
How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?
Pick a design, enter wall dimensions, choose material, and place your order. Contact support for help!
What size mural do I need for my wall?
You need a mural that matches your wall's full width and height. Measure at three points each way and use the largest numbers. Enter those figures when you order, and the design is printed to that size.
Can I put a city mural up in a rental apartment?
Yes, a removable finish is the best choice for rentals. The panels apply to smooth, dry walls and peel away when you move. Check your lease terms before any wall project.
What is the difference between a wall mural and repeat wallpaper?
A wall mural shows one large picture across the whole wall, like a skyline. Repeat wallpaper uses a small pattern that repeats across the surface. Most city and street designs work best as murals.
Which room works best for a skyline or street scene?
Living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and hallways work best. A skyline suits the wall behind a sofa, bed, or desk. Cafe and lane scenes feel natural in kitchens and dining areas.
Will a city scene look stretched on a very wide wall?
A wide landscape design keeps its shape best on a long wall. Each design is scaled to your measurements before printing. For narrow walls, choose a portrait layout instead.
Can I use city designs in a cafe, salon, or office?
Yes, urban wallpaper is a popular choice for cafes, salons, lobbies, and offices. A skyline or street view gives guests a clear focal point. Share your wall size when you order so the scene fits your space.
How do I clean a city print mural?
Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth. For light marks, dab with a slightly damp cloth instead of scrubbing. Follow the care notes for the finish you choose.
