Custom Wallpaper: Turn Your Own Photo or Design Into a Wall

Your Walls Can Now Be Entirely Your Own

If you have ever scrolled through hundreds of catalogue designs thinking "I wish the exact one I want existed", here is the answer: custom wallpaper. With DEKOARTİZAN's digital printing setup we turn your own photo, artwork or a completely original design into personalised wallpaper sized to your exact wall. No pattern repeat, millimetre-accurate, a single seamless piece.

For years this service was a luxury reserved for big brands and high-end hotels. In 2026, thanks to DEKOARTİZAN, you can commission a custom print for a single accent wall too — with no middleman commission, at factory price.

Which Images Can You Use?

• Personal photos: holiday shots, family portraits, city skylines, drone footage, seascapes.
• Artworks: a reproduction of your favourite painter, watercolour, an expressionist print, an abstract composition.
• Graphic designs: vector logos, typography, abstract geometric designs, brand visual identity.
• Nature photography: forest, mountain peak, coral reef, galaxy, the poles.
• Custom illustrations: hand-drawn or digital illustrations, your child's drawing, a cartoon.
• Maps and plans: city maps, neighbourhood layouts, the satellite view of a coordinate that means something to you.

File Requirements

Supported formats: JPG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, AI, SVG

• A minimum of 72 DPI is enough; for large-format prints (2 m² and over) 150 DPI or higher is recommended.
• Photos taken with a recent smartphone are usually sufficient for large format.
• If the image resolution is too low the system warns you — you can share it before ordering and have it checked.

The Most Popular Uses for Custom Designs

• Headboard mural: a wedding photo, honeymoon destination or favourite nature shot as a giant mural above the bed.
• Personalising a child's room: the child's name, favourite character or a drawing they made themselves. Children's room guide →
• Office identity: a company logo, brand colours or custom typography with an inspiring message. Office collection →
• Restaurants and cafés: a custom illustration or city map that tells the story of the venue.
• Meaningful coordinates: the GPS coordinates of where you met, your home or a special moment, with a satellite view.

File Requirements: Which Image Is Print-Ready?

The quality of a custom design starts with the file you send. The practical threshold is this: if the short edge of your image is at least 3000 pixels, you will get a sharp result on walls up to 8–10 m²; vector files (AI, PDF, SVG) scale to any size regardless of dimensions. Phone photos taken in daylight are usually enough; compressed images saved from social media fall apart when enlarged — ask for the original file. Whenever you are unsure, send the file to us; we run the pre-print enlargement test and report for free whether it will be sharp at your wall size.

Wall Size	Min. Short-Edge Resolution	Recommended DPI	Note
Up to 4 m²	2000 px	150 DPI	Most recent phone photos work
4–8 m²	3000 px	150 DPI	Daylight phone photos usually fine
8–15 m²	4000 px+	150+ DPI	Use the original, uncompressed file
Any size (vector)	AI / PDF / SVG	Scalable	Scales losslessly to any wall

Copyright and Personal Image Rules

In custom design, copyright matters at least as much as the technical side. Photos you took yourself and your own designs are no problem; images found online, film and cartoon characters and brand logos (other than your own brand) are protected by copyright and cannot be printed commercially. As a middle ground, instead of unlicensed stock you can use openly licensed sources or personalise our catalogue patterns (colour changes, adding a name, combining compositions). Name prints for children's rooms, wall compositions from family photos and corporate logo walls — all three are clean copyright-wise and are the three custom design types we work on most often.

From Design to Approval: How the Process Works

The process becomes clear in four steps. You send us your image and wall measurements; the design team places the image into the wall ratio and, if needed, fills any gaps (extending the sky, completing the ground); you receive a scaled digital preview — you see exactly where the composition will land on the wall, accurate to the centimetre; with your approval we go to print. Revisions are unlimited because no changes are possible after printing; that is why we specifically ask you to check furniture alignments in the preview (the top of the sofa back, above the headboard). The time from approval to delivery is the same as standard production: 2–4 business days + shipping. The price holds no surprises either — a custom design is produced at the same per-m² rate as the catalogue.

The Five Most Requested Custom Designs

For those looking for ideas, the top five from our order archive: a named theme for a child's room (number one by a wide margin); an illustration/watercolour interpretation of a wedding or engagement photo for the bedroom; a logo and corporate pattern wall for businesses; a modern composition of a family-tree and portrait collage; and personal interpretations of an Istanbul or hometown skyline. Let us add the newcomer climbing fast to sixth place: a pet portrait turned into a drawing style and printed for the home office. They all share the same process — image, measurement, preview, approval.

Turnaround and Revision Expectations

Custom design is assumed to be a "long job"; the real schedule is short. Simple edits (adding a name, adapting colours) come back to preview the same day; jobs that need a composition setup take 1–2 business days. Including revision rounds, the average custom design order is only 2–3 days longer than a catalogue order. The only scenario that drags on is insufficient file quality — which is why we run the enlargement test at the very start, so a "non-starter" is settled at the table, not at the production door.

The First Step to Custom Wallpaper: Send Us Your Image

The custom design process may sound layered, but the work on your side is a single step: sending the image and the wall measurement. The enlargement test, composition suggestion and scaled preview are on us; the decision and approval are on you. If you are hesitating with "will this photo work?", do not try to guess the answer — send the file and the technical report will arrive the same day. The cost of carrying a story on your wall that exists in no other home is the same as a catalogue design; the only thing that makes the difference is that image in your archive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum order for custom designs?
No. We can produce personalised wallpaper even for a single accent wall; there is no minimum square-metre requirement.

I entered the measurements wrong, can I change them?
You can update the measurements before the order is confirmed. No changes can be made once production has started; measure your wall twice.

Will the seams be visible?
Large prints are shipped as numbered panels. With careful application the strips become almost invisible.

Can I use copyrighted images?
There is no problem with photos you took yourself or designs you created. To use copyrighted third-party images you need to obtain the relevant permissions.

Will my design be sold to someone else?

No — designs produced with your personal images are printed only for you, never published in the catalogue and never shared with third parties. For corporate projects this commitment is also given in writing. The reverse is also true: we cannot print someone else's copyrighted image for you; the process is protected by the same principle in both directions.
