Create a personalized feature wall in your home with a mural. Add a realistic forest scene to your den or a playful cartoon to your nursery without opening a can of paint. Although some wall scenes are peel-and-stick wall murals, many are installed like wallpaper. Simply wet the pre-pasted panels or apply paste as instructed to hang the panels.Â

Choose Your SpaceÂ
A
full wall mural makes a statement on a large, empty canvas, but you can include them in less obvious spaces, too. Cover the walls of a small home office or a powder room with a wraparound mural for an immersive effect. Since murals can be trimmed to fit your space, consider applying one to your stairwell or landing.Â
Â
For smaller areas, you can stick to individual
wall decals.Â

Choose Your StyleÂ
Once you’ve chosen a spot in your home for a mural, it’s time to pick a theme. Here are some top ideas:Â
• Nature Scenes. For a calming and peaceful vibe, go with nature wall murals. Pick from a detailed forest or ocean mural, or one with soaring mountaintops for a tranquil getaway. Photo wall murals of animals in nature are another great option.
• Maps. A beautifully designed map wall mural is a great accent in an office or den, and it doubles as a reference guide. It’s also a sweet addition to a playroom for the budding traveler.
• Kids’ Wall Murals. Add some whimsy to the playroom or bedroom with a
movie mural that borrows a scene from your child’s favorite flick.
• Textured Graphics. Mural wallpaper doesn’t have to be a photograph or illustration. Choose from options that depict stone, shiplap or brick for a striking accent wall.Â
Whether you have a flair for the dramatic or prefer calming scenery, murals are easy to install and can help bring personalized style and character to any blank wall in your home.
