Sometimes you just have to get creative. It can often be due to budget, or maybe the ceiling is just too high. Sometimes its because a wallpaper has gone out of production and there just isn't enough. Or maybe the shape just doesn't suit (especially in the case of world maps). Whatever the reason do not be afraid of the DADO or sometimes just paint. Sometimes I think (my humble opinion) it can soften the look and actually add to the overall effect.
Not going full wall is sometimes better.
In the case of a mural.
Say your wall is 3.2 high (that's high but common in villas, architectural homes or stairways) and the width is 3.5 metres then you looking at 12 square metres. It adds up. But why go full wall when you could print at 2.8 H x 3.5 W (changing your square metre rate to 10 square metres and potentially saving you a few hundred dollars).
