Does anyone have any experience with installing &/or living with an entire photowall / wall poster / wallpaper?

Thought that I might brighten up my office with something, but not sure if I would tire of the image, or spend years focussing in on any imperfections in the image - or more likely on my wallpaper hanging skills.

The wall is 480cm x 180cm (down to the top of my furniture which goes full width and is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future). Something like https://www.photowall.co.uk/wall-murals/nature?&p=2 might suit.

TIA

Something like this?

I just knew I remembered the idea from somewhere. Pretty sure the Grundy's have one too

I thought about it for my new office but then realised that I'd rather fill the wallspace with photographs and other things which really meant something to me. So, that's what I'm in the process of doing. Lots of things I'd had for years and they were unframed, so I'm working on that.

Do any companies do wallpaper from supplied photos?

The link that @Colonel Panic supplied in his original post is to a company that does.
They recommend a resolution of at least 1pixel per mm for the supplied photos so you better have a good camera!

We're just about to buy from these:

Can't recommend them yet, but in a couple of weeks we may.

Whilst I'm at, maybe I should just wallpaper over the windows too. #downwind_for_gatwick

Quite a few of my clients have whole wall vinyls in their offices. They look great, but (and I might just be a bit OCD) I just seem to constantly notice the imperfections.

Of course I cannot find it now, but there is somewhere a Jodel wall that would be even better as - well...

This is the nearest a quick rummage can find and it's neither Jodel nor similar....

My parents has a 'Lakes and Mountains' mural (~12' x 8') of somewhere in Scandanavia on their sitting room wall for many years until it was damaged in the 2007 floods. We replaced it with this scene:


Unfortunately the website of the company we got it from seems to be broken.

Mrs.G and I have been looking for wallpaper ourselves recently. This isn't what we want, but looking online there are loads of companies online selling "mural" size pictures for use as wallpaper. If our plans were otherwise, a nice Hokusai quite appealed.

I've been narrowing down my options over the weekend; decided I don't want visitors to say "did you take it" or "where is that", so something non-photographical is probably best. Will check out the Hokusai.

In the customer office where I've worked a lot in Slough, they have an aerial photo as wallpaper, google map image sort of thing. Of course, there are bits of furniture hiding some of it. I was sitting there one day with a colleague when he was musing about the wallpaper, thinking that it was just something generic. Although the bits you could see were mostly fields, there were some prominent roads on it. I said to him, "That's the M40, and that's where the new part up to Birmingham started. That's the bit that goes into Oxford."

My colleague was skeptical that a) I knew what I was talking about from a few bits of road and fields, and b) that I wasn't bull****ing him, and called my bluff. He said, "So if we move this filing cabinet, Oxford should be behind it?"

"Yes."

Of course, having laid down the challenge, we then had to move the filing cabinet out of the way, and lo and behold, there was Oxford.

My colleague was most bemused! "How on earth did you recognise that?" "I'm a pilot, it's how I look at the world."
