Ceilings

Add custom murals to the ceilings of your pediatric dental office or medical practice to distract patients during exams or treatments. Calming ceiling designs of ocean creatures or colorful infographics offer kids a soothing focal point, helping to reduce stress. Pediatric ceiling murals are a unique and effective way to improve the patient experience, especially for children who get restless lying down.

Specialty Areas

Specialty rooms like MRI, X-ray rooms, or eye and hearing testing rooms can feel scary for children, but pediatric wall coverings can make these spaces feel friendlier. Relaxing landscape murals and calming coral reefs can help distract young patients during procedures, making the experience less frightening. Kids wallpaper murals can help children imagine they’re on a safari adventure or a submarine dive meeting exotic new creatures while undergoing their procedure.

Installation Information

Whether you decide to install the mural yourself or hire an installer, installation is easy and straightforward. Murals Your Way provides detailed instructions for Vinyl HD - Texture, EnviroPro - Texture and SmartStick installation.

Hiring An Installer

As a rough rule of thumb, the cost to hire a wallpaper hanger is typically about the same as the cost of the wallpaper. To find installers near you, please visit the Wallcovering Installers Association. On the WIA, you can enter your zip code and set your distance to see installers near you.

These installers have no connection to Murals Your Way, rather they are documented as accredited installers through WIA. For more installation information, you can share the installation video below with your installer as Vinyl HD Texture is installed exactly the same as the material shown in the video.

The following videos demonstrate the installation process for any pasted mural material and for SmartStick.

Measuring Your Wall

Multi-panel murals (murals exceeding 52”), will be printed with an additional inch to the top, bottom, left and right sides to account for walls not being perfectly plumb or level. This additional material is included at no extra charge.

Be sure to let us know if there are windows, doors or other features on the wall that will need to be accommodated.
