The short answer
We install printed wallpaper murals in Winter Garden homes, from kids' rooms to home offices. We measure before you order, plan where the image sits, and hang each panel so the scene stays continuous.
Winter Garden has filled up with young families over the past stretch of growth, and that shows in the mural requests we get: jungle scenes for a toddler's room, a starry sky over a bunk bed, a map wall in a homework nook, a calm landscape for a bonus room that became a home gym. A printed mural turns a full wall into a picture, but only if dozens of small decisions go right, from print size to where the seams fall. We drive up from Orlando, roughly 14 miles to the northwest, to measure, plan and install murals in homes across this part of Orange County.
Popular mural spots in Winter Garden homes
Bonus rooms and lofts are a natural canvas because they often have one long, uninterrupted wall. Children's bedrooms come next, followed by home offices where a mural becomes a video-call backdrop. Dining nooks with a single solid wall facing a window also work, since the scene gives the eye something to rest on during meals.
Walls broken up by windows, doors and closet openings are harder. A mural can still work there, but a design with an even, all-over image, such as foliage or clouds, hides interruptions better than one with a single focal point.
Sizing the print correctly
Mural panels are printed to order, so the dimensions you enter at checkout decide everything. We measure and give you a printable size that includes extra image on every edge for trimming. Without it, small out-of-square corners in a wall leave slivers of bare wall at the top or a cut-off image at the side.
Here is the information we gather during the measuring visit:
- Wall width and height, measured at several points
- Baseboard and crown molding locations
- Positions of outlets, switches, vents and windows
- How far furniture will cover the lower part of the wall
- Where you want the main subject of the image to sit
Children's rooms need tougher material
Crayons, sticky hands and toy cars will meet the wall sooner or later. For kids' rooms we usually suggest a vinyl-coated or scrubbable non-woven mural that can be wiped with a damp cloth. Thin peel-and-stick vinyl looks fine on day one, but on the textured drywall common in newer Winter Garden subdivisions, it can show every bump and lift at the edges during humid months.
Also think about the next few years. A toddler's cartoon jungle may be outgrown before long. A strippable non-woven mural on primed walls comes down far more easily when it is time for something new.
Preparing the wall surface
A photographic image magnifies any flaw in the wall. Shallow dents, drywall tape lines and roller ridges in old paint can all show through. We fill and sand those areas and then seal the wall with a primer meant for wallcoverings. On heavily textured walls, a skim coat may be needed to give the mural a smooth base.
Central Florida's hot, wet summers also affect drying. Paste cures best in a house that keeps a steady indoor temperature, so we ask that the air conditioning stay on as usual in the days around installation.
How the panels go up
Panels are unpacked, laid out in sequence and checked against the supplier's guide. We mark a true vertical line for the first panel rather than trusting the room's corner, which may lean. Each following panel is aligned to the image on its neighbor, since matching the picture matters more than matching the paper edge.
Once all panels are in place, excess is trimmed at the ceiling, baseboard and side walls, outlet covers return, and the surface is cleaned of any paste. Most murals in a standard bedroom are completed in one visit. Homeowners in Windermere, Ocoee, Bay Lake, Lake Buena Vista and Eatonville can book the same service.
