There is absolutely nothing better than going into a space knowing that you were not only part of every step of the way but that you were able to bring in a personalized touch that allows you to see yourself in rooms and allows you to tailor things to your specific needs. This is especially true when it comes to wall murals, wallpapers or canvas prints. If you find a design you like and at a high quality, the design options are endless.
This article aims to shed light on how, when and why you can bring wall murals and wallpapers into your space, be it your home, office or even agym. There is always room for stunning walls, wouldn’t you agree?
Spruce Up Home With Main Attractions
One of the best ways to bring design into your home, without it costing you an arm and a leg, is by having a focus wall. This allows you to make the rest of the room a little more ‘bland’ for lack of a better word but still brings in a fun and exciting element through a focus wall. The easiest way to do this is through something like wallpaper.
Wallpapers are great because there are many different colors, designs and finishes to choose from. Also, they’re relatively easy to apply, so there isn’t a big amount needed in terms of time demands and also, if you ever get tired of it, it’s simple and easy to take off and then re-apply a new design that you’re looking at.
The most important thing with wall murals, wallpapers or even canvas prints is that you need to source them for a reliable business that believes in high quality. This is honestly one of the most important things, after choosing your design, of course, and trying a Swedish design company like Photowall is an idea, as they bring in Swedish style with the precision and quality that they’re known for.
Bring Creativity to Small Spaces
Another really nice way of using wallpapers or even posters is to improve upon a small space in your home. Every home has one, a little corner that doesn’t make much sense and therefore isn’t used very often. Or a little side room that inevitably gets used as a makeshift storage room that you are so annoyed with that you’ve considered building a little door for it that you can slam shut just so you never see that room’s stored contents.
This is where wallpaper can come in handy because it can bring new meaning and purpose to small spaces. And if there is one thing that design is meant for, it’s to bring meaning to spaces, not just beauty. Therefore, if you have a little nook under your stairs tucked away to the side of the kitchen, why not consider getting a lovely wallpaper that has dark stripes, stars or little pictures of books so that you can create your very own reading nook? Or fill the little wall space up with intricate posters so that whenever someone sits under the stairs, they can gaze up at the posters and try to spot something new every time.
Bring in a Voice and Style
A further element that wall murals or wallpaper can do is actively bring in a voice and a style to your home and certain rooms. If you want your living room to scream “tropical holiday destination” then popping in a wallpaper filled with palm trees, deep shades of green, burnt oranges and navy blues might be the answer. Or if you want it to say “epitome of relaxation” then a wallpaper in light blue shades or soft pastel hues might be smart.
The wallpaper is not limited to the living room, you can make it say something in any room. Bringing in textures or symbols, such as fruits or vegetables into the kitchen could say “cuisine connoisseur” and bringing your favorite color into the bedroom might just make your retreat space that much more comfortable.
You can also allow the kids to pick and choose between a few of their favorite ones, depending on what they’re interested in at the time to make their bedrooms more unique. The great thing about a wall paper, as touched on above, is that it can age as you age. So once the kids are out of their spaceships and astronaut phases and promptly in their teenage years, you can try a new style of wall paper to age with the child as they grow up.
Also, this isn’t limited to a home. You can also decorate your office or if you have a gym space, with wall murals and wallpaper. This will allow you to add your own touch to a space and is much faster and easier to do than painting the room.
Worth Considering It?
Going the wall mural and wallpaper route isn’t for everyone, however, now that you know a little bit more about it, it’s quite interesting, wouldn’t you agree? Having an endless array and access to many different styles is key to making your space not only unique but also have a voice. It’s also lovely that you can chop and change between certain ones rather easily, as the application process is straightforward.
