Using Wall Murals to Create a Themed Room

Looking for an easy way to update the overall theme a room without spending a lot of time? Wall murals are the answer. Usually reinventing a room's look requires the purchase of new linens, curtains, pillows, lamps and all the accessories. Purchasing these coordinating items can really hit the pocketbook. Putting up a wall mural instantly creates a new theme, and requires less coordinating items to create an overall look. Often times, solid-colored accents already coordinate with the new look and can be re-used.

So what theme to choose? Today's wall mural manufacturers offer almost any theme imaginable in their products. From children's designs to contemporary images to garden scenes, the possibilities are endless.

Children's bedrooms and nurseries are where most people think to put up wall murals. Examples of themes for these kinds of room include princess and fairies for girls, and sports and construction for boys. Unisex designs include sea creatures, tree houses and much more. Just about any of a child's favorite things can be found in a mural scene. Nursery options include many whimsical nursery rhyme scenes such as "The Cow Jumped Over The Moon." Many mural manufacturers also offer personalization to truly create a one-of-a-kind theme for a child.

However, children's rooms are only the beginning for the use of murals. Other rooms of the house and even office spaces can benefit from the theme of a wall mural. Art deco designs, floral patterns and even full "window scenes" can complement your other living spaces and office walls.

With today's new technologies used in the manufacturing of wall murals, printed images are more crisp and vibrant than ever before. Murals are bright, with color depth unlike murals of the past. Today's murals are printed on heavy-duty wallpaper material for durability and longevity.

Murals are typically available in larger (full wall) sizes, but also come in smaller versions (such as half-wall and poster size) to allow for flexibility in the location of the hanging. Many manufacturers also offer coordinating borders and cutouts to accent your mural for a complete look.

Large murals are usually in two or three pieces, to make hanging easier than ever before. Higher quality murals actually do not come pre-pasted. Applying the wallpaper paste as you hang will make for a smoother hanging process and a stronger bond to the wall.

Wall murals can be the answer you are looking for to completely overhaul a room or simply to add a new element of design. Whatever theme you decide will be sure to add a whole new level of design and atmosphere to your room!
