You can order the samples.

Posting in the UK forum is a good idea, thanks. I did order samples, but it's hard to visualize a roomful of sandy textured, vinyl wallpaper. We're travelling soon. I'll have to pay close attention to the hotel walls. Hotels use a lot of vinyl wall coverings, I've noticed, & some of them are rather nice.

That is so pretty! I've never used Bobbi Beck, I hope you get some helpful responses.

Thank you, deegw! I've dreamed of having a scenic mural in a dining room for 30 years. Now, thanks to computer graphics, it's accessible to us common folks. The scene actually resembles some of the vistas near my new home.

Are you installing a wainscoting? That would handle any possible damage from children.

I believe the intention of the murals is to appear to look like a hand painted scene on the walls, not to look photographic. An impressionistic appearance is desirable.

The murals offered on Etsy, seem to have many more choices of printing material and texture. You might want to compare.

Yes, wainscoting will be installed in a few weeks. Thanks very much for the Etsy suggestions, BeverlyFLD, will take a look at them.

Just a follow up for anybody considering hanging a Bobbi Beck mural.

Paper hangers are starting on my 16 × 14 ft dining room today. I had a chair rail installed earlier. Fortunately the walls & chair rail are *mostly* plumb & square, but of course there are some minor deviations here & there. There are two windows & two doorways to work around.

With 32 mural panels, it is not an easy install, say the hangers. Thank goodness I went with a highly experienced company. They like challenges, & this certainly qualifies. They mapped out the panels with pencil marks on the walls so that they don't end up trying to hang a half inch strip along side a window.

The main hitch is Bobbi Beck asked for exact measurements & they would provide enough allowance for any adjustments. My height measured 70 inches; Bobbi Beck only gave 1 3/4 inches extra height for adjustments. My hangers would have preferred 4 inches for height adjustment. So hanging in the minor deviation spots will be very, very tight. If I had to do it over again with what I know now, I would have not gone with exact height measurements like Bobbi Beck wanted; I would have added a few inches in addition to Bobbi Beck's 1 3/4 allowance.

Anyway, please keep your fingers crossed for me for this two day project.

Hitch # 2: hangers are more comfortable now with the small allowances, but are not happy with Roman 838 heavy duty wall paste & the vinyl paper. They are off in search of a super tack paste, Vinyl over Vinyl, & will try again tomorrow. They're not frustrated yet, so I won't be either. Taking lots of deep breaths & doing much busy work though.

Please post after photos!!!

Yes would love to see after photos - sounds like you have a great team helping out, which makes a huge difference

Thanks for responding. I certainly will post pictures, providing the hangers have success today!

Disastrous. My paper hangers with 45 years of experience with commercial & residential wall cover hanging could not get the paper-backed vinyl panels to stick. The panels curled and bubbled.

Yes, my walls were clean to begin with & were primed with Sherwin Williams wall cover primer. The hangers were pleased with the wall prep.

The hangers tried heavy duty paste & pasting the wall first per Bobbi Beck's instructions. Curling & bubbling. They thought the paper backing wasn't absorbing enough paste from the wall that way, so they tried pasting the paper & booking to let the paper absorb the paste. No improvement. They tried super tack vinyl over vinyl paste. No luck. The hangers weren't happy with the dark visible seams either. In their opinion, the paper backing quality isn't up to the heavy textured vinyl and separates from the vinyl.

"Didn't the company field test this product?" they wondered.

I have contacted Bobbi Beck & sent these pictures. I hope to resolve the issue by getting a refund and reordering the mural in regular paper, which the hangers think might be better to work with.

I tried to get a photo of the bubbling, but couldn't. There are actually 3 bubbles in this photo, about the size of two sticks of gum side by side.

So Bobbi Beck Co. graciously worked out a deal with me, and I got the Super Luxe Silk vinyl paper with the nonwoven backing. My paper hanger had us reprime with extra tacky Roman R35 primer as a precaution. He used Roman 838 heavy duty paste.

Night & day difference from the paper backed vinyl! My paper hanger gives this product version an A+. He said the nonwoven backing is superior, the vinyl is excellent, and the finish is absolutely beautiful. The finish has the most subtle sheen in certain light. It was a dream to hang. And my hanger did a fantastic job: can you notice the kill spot?

So here are the long awaited results of the Bobbi Beck Agnew mural (31 panels) in SuperLuxe Silk (vinyl). It was all worth it in the end.

Thank you for the update as I wondered how this turned out for you. The wallpaper looks fabulous!!

Thank you, Design Fan! I'm so happy with the mural. It looks New England-y & is a great fit for the house.

That room is a stunner! you must be thrilled - glad it worked out so well ✨ thanks for sharing pics

Thank you, la_la Girl, I appreciate your support!

Nice end result and good info about the type you ended up having success with!

I have a painted mural in my dining room, and didn’t want to muck it up with holes either.
I solved the curtain problem by attaching a valance on a board to the top of the window casing and then hid a very basic curtain rod, also attached to the window trim, to hold the side panels.

For the mirror you could probably sink a couple of strong eye hooks into the crown moulding, and then use an adjustable cord mounting system with invisible cord to hang the mirror.

(STAS is one brand)

Thanks, thinkdesignliving. There's not much experience with this brand on the internet, so I hope my details help others.

The SuperLuxe vinyl is Bobbi Beck's priciest product. But the finish & colors are truly fabulous; if you want to invest in a fine wallpaper for your home, it's a brand to consider. Compared to the old line mural companies, which are stratospherically expensive & inaccessible to the average home owner, the Bobbi Beck papers are a way to have the look at a fraction of the cost.

AC M, thanks so much! What a great suggestion!

Wish you'd attached a picture of your painted mural -- the star attraction :)

I added a thought above about mirror hanging too.You're dining room is beautiful!

Again, very grateful for the problem solving, AC M. Off to look up STAS...
