How to Use Wall Murals for Living Rooms

Wall murals can elevate a room’s decor and add visual interest to any living space. A painted mural can be more cost effective than wallpaper and is easier to install, too. You’ll need your favorite paint colors, frog tape and a few brushes – with the right amount of skill, you can create a mural that rivals a professional job.

Murals can be as simple or complex as you wish, and they’re a great option for those who want to change their style often. The possibilities are endless: a geometric mural will brighten a living room with its bold design, while a floral mural can add a whimsical touch to a living room. There are even a number of photorealistic mural options, including tropical forests, icebergs, beaches and marble walls.

If you’re not confident in your own painting skills, you can easily purchase a pre-painted wall mural from companies like Wallsauce or MJ Atelier. They’re perfect for renters, who can simply peel them off when they move out of a rental home. Or, you can also hire a local artist to create a custom mural for your home. While these may be more expensive, they can make a dramatic statement that will truly transform your space.

A mural can create a focal point in any living room, or it can add a backdrop to a sitting area that enhances your furniture. For example, a forest-like mural can be a great background for a reading nook, while a mountain-like mural can create an ideal spot for relaxing after work.

You can even choose a mural that blends with your furniture to create a cohesive look. For example, this nautical-themed mural features a boat and sails at the same height, making it easy to place sofas and tables in front of it without having to worry about the furniture blocking the mural or looking too large for the wall.

Another way to use a mural is to add it behind a television or console. This will provide an eye-catching focal point that will draw the viewer’s attention away from the electronics and toward the natural scenery.

A mural can be a perfect solution for an awkward nook or angled wall in a room, as seen here in this bedroom. The lined arch of the mural begins on the wall, then continues onto the angled ceiling for an eye-catching accent that eliminates the need for a headboard.

You can even use a mural to cover an entire wall in your dining room. This will create a beautiful backdrop that’s sure to impress your dinner guests and will be the perfect background for family photos. Just be careful not to overwhelm the space with a too-big mural, as this can make the room feel crowded. If you’re going for a more understated look, try a neutral-colored mural instead of a bolder color that will be harder to keep clean. This is particularly important for high-traffic areas, such as a dining room.
