Wall Mural Ideas for Your Interior

Wall mural ideas can be used to add subtle interest to walls or create an instant impact within your home. Standard wallpaper for walls features a repeating design. Mural wallpaper, however, typically consists of a single image. This is usually designed to sit as a feature wall or piece of eye-catching artwork. That's why wall murals are also known as wallpaper panels or wall art because of how you hang wallpaper and the large designs.

Using a mural within home decoration opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. It transforms walls from being simply a patterned surface into almost anything. The only limit is your imagination!

The Benefits of Mural Wallpaper

Murals come on a roll, in clearly defined strips, with markings showing you exactly where to cut. This makes them easy to hang.
There’s no need for struggling to align a pattern. The strips are designed to be placed side by side to form the wall art.
Most wall panels can be printed to size, so there’s no wastage.
With a huge range of designs in big and bold or subtle yet stylish varieties, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Where to Use Wall Murals

Give it Space

Wall art works best on large walls where its impact can be best felt. Spaces such as hallways, living rooms and studies are ideal.

If you’re struggling for space - wall art lends itself beautifully to ceilings as well.

Let There Be Light

Ensure you place your mural in a room with lots of light, as many designs, such as those containing maps or documents, have very fine, exquisite details which are not to be missed.

Use Wall Art as a Backdrop

The primarily appeal of feature wallpaper is its ability to catch your attention, to ensure you're not overwhelmed, consider placing your wall art behind areas in which you will be relaxing.

Choosing the wall behind the sofa or headboard means you'll always appreciate the beauty of your wall art when you enter the room. You won't, however, be disturbed by the design when trying to unwind.
