More Than Wallpaper: Creative Ways to Use Wall Murals
Wallpaper is no longer limited to walls.
One of the biggest advantages of peel and stick wall murals in Canada is how flexible they are, not just in homes, but in completely unexpected spaces.
At Urbanwalls, we love seeing our designs used in creative ways, and one of our favourite projects brought that idea to life in a wedding setting.
A Floral Wall Mural Used for a Wedding Design
This styled shoot, featured in Real Weddings, transformed our Primrose design into something far beyond traditional wall decor.
Instead of installing it on a wall, the design was used:
- As a statement backdrop behind a stylized bar
- As a completely original aisle runner
The result felt soft, romantic, and modern, showing how floral wall murals can be used as design elements, not just finishes.
Why Peel and Stick Wall Murals Work for Canadian Events
Designing for events often comes with limitations, especially when working in rented venues or temporary spaces.
With removable wall murals made in Canada, you get:
- Easy installation and removal
- No damage to floors, walls, or surfaces
- Flexibility for one-time use or short-term setups
- A high-end look without custom fabrication
This makes them ideal for:
- Weddings
- Event backdrops
- Retail displays
- Photoshoots
Wallpaper vs Wall Mural: What’s the Difference?
If you’re deciding between wallpaper and a wall mural, the difference comes down to scale and layout.
- Wallpaper (like our Primrose Wallpaper) features a repeating pattern, making it ideal for full-room coverage
- Wall murals (like our Primrose Wall Mural) create a larger, more organic design that flows across a space
For this project, the design worked beautifully in both formats, showing how versatile the Primrose pattern can be.

The Primrose Design: A Soft Floral Statement
The Primrose design features cascading florals in soft neutrals, accented with blush and green tones.
The delicate linework keeps the look light and refined, while still adding enough detail to feel intentional and elevated.
As Real Weddings described it:
“The clean line drawings help to maintain a dainty look throughout the design, while also feeling modern and minimalist.”
It’s a perfect example of how a floral wall mural can feel both timeless and current.
