How do you bring a family photo into your home decor? How do you turn your child’s drawing into a wall you’ll love? Custom wallpaper is the answer. In this article: how it works, what you can upload, and what turns an ordinary photo into a professional wall mural.
What is “custom wallpaper”?
It’s not wallpaper from a catalog — it’s a one-of-a-kind print of the file you upload. On the StickDecor custom design page you can upload:
- A family photo — printed on the wall in the size you choose
- Your child’s drawing — turned into a unique wall
- A business logo — for office walls or a shop window
- A travel photo — a landscape from back home, Europe, or any special place
- Art you photograph — a photo or a digital creation
Image quality — what you need
Minimum resolution
A photo printed on a 3-meter wall needs high resolution. 300 DPI at 90×60 cm = 30 megapixels. A photo from a recent phone (24+ megapixels) is usually enough.
What won’t work
- A photo sent via WhatsApp (compressed to low quality)
- A photo of a screen
- A low-quality JPG (pixelation will be visible)
- A photo with a lot of noise
How to get the best quality
- Send the file by email, not WhatsApp
- If it’s a photo of a document or drawing — shoot it in good light, straight from above
- Preferred format: PNG or JPG at the highest quality
- Not sure? Send it to us and we’ll check it before you order
5 popular ideas
1. A family photo in the living room
The main living room wall with a large family portrait = a declaration of love. Black-and-white or retro tones add depth.
2. A view from your last trip
A beach in Cyprus, a street in Paris, or a national park summit — turned into an everyday memory on your wall.
3. Your child’s drawing
Instead of folding it away in a binder — turn the artwork into a wall in their room. They’ll remember it for a lifetime.
4. A logo on the office door
The wall behind the register / the logo on the entrance glass = branding at low cost. See the wall branding collection.
5. A quote that means something to you
A verse, a poem, a line from a favorite book — in large letters on the wall. A big emotional impact.
