Morphology
The meaning is directly built from the constituents: 'mural' (on a wall) modifies 'wallpaper' (decorative paper), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer 'wallpaper that forms a mural or large scene'. This follows a regular adjective + noun composition pattern common across languages, making the phrase immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
The term mural wallpaper comes from the idea of a mural, a big picture painted on a wall, printed on wallpaper and put on a single wall. So it means 'decorative wallpaper' with a large scene that is the room's 'focal point'.
