City Wallpaper

City wallpaper puts a skyline, a street or a canal scene across a whole wall. Almost every design here is a wall mural: one continuous image of New York, London, Paris, Venice, Rome or Amsterdam, printed to your wall's width and height so it runs edge to edge with no repeat. A small set of repeat-pattern city wallpapers covers walls broken up by doors and windows.

Wall Mural or Repeat Wallpaper?

Choose a wall mural for one clear feature wall, such as behind a sofa, bed or desk. The skyline runs as one image across the full width, so nothing repeats.

Choose a repeat wallpaper for walls with doors, windows or awkward angles, or for covering more than one wall. The city repeat designs include Nested Neighborhoods Urban Wallpaper, Urban Skyline Starburst Symmetry and Santorini Repeat Pattern.

Choosing Your Finish

Every design is printed to order, so you choose the finish when you buy.

Paste-the-paper: you paste the back of each panel, then hang it. This is best for homes you own and long-term walls. There are six finishes:

  • Standard Paper
  • Premium Matte
  • Canvas Paper
  • Brush Stroke
  • Gold Line
  • Metallic Pearl

Peel and stick: self-adhesive panels you can remove later. This is best for rentals, dorms and offices on short leases. There are two finishes:

  • Peel & Stick
  • Peel & Stick Fabric

What is city wallpaper and where can it be used?

City wallpaper is a large-scale printed wall covering featuring urban skylines, architectural scenes, and street-level cityscapes. It works in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices, dining rooms, and commercial spaces like hotels, cafes, and restaurants. Every mural is printed to your exact wall dimensions, so it fits any wall size perfectly.

What is the difference between city wallpaper and a city wall mural?

City wallpaper typically refers to a repeating pattern with urban motifs, while a city wall mural is a single large-scale photographic or illustrated image covering an entire wall. Both are available in peel-and-stick and paste-the-wall formats. Most customers ordering a skyline design choose the mural format because it delivers a full panoramic scene across the wall.

Can I use city wallpaper in a rented apartment?

Yes. A peel-and-stick or removable city mural applies to a clean, smooth wall and comes off without leaving residue or damaging the surface underneath. It is one of the most popular wallpaper formats for renters because it requires no permanent adhesive and can be removed when you move out. Always check the wall surface is smooth and clean before applying.

How do I choose a city wallpaper for a small room?

In a small room, choose a faded, desaturated, or watercolour city design rather than a high-contrast photographic print. Softer tones create depth and make a compact space feel larger. A single accent wall behind a bed or sofa is more effective than covering all four walls. Black and white city murals also work well in small rooms because they add visual interest without the weight of strong colour.

What rooms suit a night skyline wallpaper?

Night skyline wallpaper works best in home offices, dining rooms, and commercial spaces where a moody, atmospheric backdrop is the goal. The warmth of glowing city lights pairs well with dark upholstery, warm wood tones, and low ambient lighting. In bedrooms, night city murals can feel dramatic rather than restful, so they work better on a single accent wall than as a full-room treatment.

Can city wallpaper be customized to any wall size?

Yes. Every city wallpaper mural in the Giffywalls range is printed to your exact wall dimensions. You input your height and width at checkout, and the mural is produced to fit your specific wall with no standard panel sizes to work around. This made-to-measure approach means the skyline or cityscape scales correctly whether the wall is narrow or wide.

How do I hang a city wall mural correctly?

Start by cleaning and drying the wall thoroughly. Measure and mark the center of the wall before you begin, so the focal point of the cityscape sits at eye level. For paste-the-wall murals, apply adhesive to the wall rather than the paper. For peel-and-stick murals, peel away the backing gradually and smooth each section with a flat squeegee to avoid air pockets. Always begin from the top and work downward.
