Full-wall murals can completely open up a room visually. Using a vinyl wall mural is also a cheap and quick way to change a room’s theme, without trying to create a wall mural on your own, or hiring someone to do it for you. Forget flowers and intricately designed Arts and Crafts style wallpaper. Opt for mural wallpaper, and create an entire scene in your room. Wall mural wallpaper can make a room seem bigger when you use an outdoor scene.
Advantages to Decorating With Wall Murals
1. Cheaper Than Hand-Painted Murals
Hanging up vinyl wall murals in a DIY home improvement project is cheaper than hiring someone else to paint a wall mural.
2. Quick and Easy
It’s quick and easy to hang full-wall vinyl murals, when compared to other wall treatments including painting.
3. Illusion of Space
A full-wall mural can create the illusion of open space and of a bigger room. A design which includes an outdoor scene combined with architectural elements makes it look like you added a whole new entry to your home, overlooking a dreamy landscape.
4. Fake Architectural Elements
A design with architectural elements, windows or doors can be hung in the room. This is an easier alternative than installing actual architectural features to the home decor.
5. Instant Theme
Create an instant theme in the bedroom, kitchen or bathroom with one of these products.
Installation
Wall murals can either be un-pasted and hung like wallpaper, or they can be mounted on the wall with wood supports. Different wall mural companies sell different types, and some sell wall murals with a variety of hanging options.
Custom vs. Pre-Cut
Wall murals can come pre-sized or some are are conveniently sold by the square foot. Custom wall murals are ideal for ordering a wall mural to cover an entire wall.
Designs for Home Decor Themes
Wall murals come in a wide array of designs. To make a room seem bigger, and add an element of the outdoors opt for a Trompe L’Oeil wall mural. A Trompe L’Oeil wall mural may include an image of an open door or window, and a landscape, garden or beach scene.
For a smaller space, consider a wall mural accent designed to look like a framed image or a window.
Photo murals will add some realism to a room. A photo mural will dominate a room, and the rest of the room should be decorated to complement the photo mural.
For a surprising touch, consider a door mural which can completely cover the inside or outside of an interior door.
Wall Murals just for kids are also available. They come in playful outdoor themes and animal themes.
