Before you buy an image from these websites:
The images available on these websites are also shown with their size in 'pixels' ('px'). Always buy the largest available file as higher resolution images result in better print quality of your wallpaper. If your wall is 3500 mm wide and 2700 mm high, the minimum files size if you want to get it printed as a wallpaper mural must be higher than 3500px x 2700px. In other words px >= mm, the pixel size of the image has to be larger than the width and height of the wall in mm.
This advice is not valid if you choose a vector file or a pattern.
