So You Want to Know About Wall Murals

You know, I get a lot of e-mails from members of my e-letter asking about information on a number of different topics. Recently I have been receiving quite a few messages from those of you who are interested in getting a wall mural for one or more rooms in your home. This sudden influx of e-mails concerning wall murals intrigued me, so I decided to write about Wall Murals.

So I thought to myself, “Where should I start?” Then it came to me. A good place to start would be what rooms of your home would be appropriate for displaying a wall mural. This may surprise some of you, but wall murals go quite well in bathrooms, bedrooms, child’s playroom, family room, living room, game room, garage, kitchen, dining room, sunroom, outdoors, ceiling, foyer, hall and staircase. If you stop to think about it, this is ideal for every room in your home.

Next I thought, “Why not go over the variety of subjects these wall murals are available in?” This will give you an idea of the subject options that are yours for the choosing. You can find wall murals in Animals & Wildlife, Astronomy & Celestial, Beach, Boating, Coastal & Nautical, Camping & Fishing, Cities, Places & Landmarks, Dinosaurs, Exteriors, Fantasy, Flags, Food, Drink & Entertainment, Interiors & Windows, Maps, Mediterranean, Old World & Tuscan, Modern Graphics & Florals, Nature, Objet D'art, People, Religious, Retro, Sports, Transportation, Tropical Non-Beach Scenes, Underwater, Vintage Posters and Words.

Now you have the option to choose your wall mural by decor style. The decor style can either match up with the theme of the room or you can create a new theme to a room by installing your wall mural first, then matching the theme of your wall mural with the appropriate room decor.

With decor style you have the options to choose from such as Asian, Children's, Classic/Traditional, Colonial, Contemporary, Country, Jungle/Safari, Nautical, Northwoods, Retro, Southwestern, Tropical, Urban and Victorian. You may have noticed that some of the decor style and wall mural subjects are close in their topic matter.

Next, let’s explore the Art Genre of wall murals. Here too you have a good selection such as Abstract, American Nostalgic, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Contemporary, Expressionism, Fantasy, Folk, Graphic Patterns, Impressionism, Photo-Realism, Pop Art, Post-Impressionism, Primitivism, Renaissance, Surrealism, Trompe L'Oeil and Urban.

These words alone cannot express how truly beautiful all these wall murals are. Only by going online and seeing for yourself, will you be able to appreciate the different ways these murals will transform a room into a splendid new atmosphere.

Now let’s take a look at what is available from a cultural aspect. From only one source I found African American, Africana, Asian & Indian, Caribbean/Tropical, Egyptian, French, Italian/Mediterranean/Tuscan, Mexican/Adobe, Native American, Old World Europe, Spanish, USA and Western USA. If your room has an ethnic theme, perhaps one of these cultural wall murals is the perfect fit.

So now we’ve come to photographic wall murals. This is a library of actual photos that have been made into wall murals. This particular source has Animals & Wildlife, Astronomy & Celestial, Beach, Boating, Coastal & Nautical, Camping & Fishing, Cities, Places & Landmarks, Exteriors, Food, Drink & Entertainment, Interiors & Windows, Mediterranean, Old World & Tuscan, Modern Graphics & Florals, Nature, Objet D'art, People, Sports, Transportation, Tropical Non-Beach Scenes and Underwater.

As you can see, the large variety of wall murals to choose from is spellbinding. To add to the confusion, you also have the option to have a custom wall mural made from any photo or artwork. You may also personalize any wall mural by adding a photo of any person, pet or image into the any of the appropriate available murals.

Just remember that whatever you decide on, the room in which you apply the wall mural will be transformed into whatever atmosphere you desire. There is no limit on your creativity. You have the power to express yourself in a way like no other…
