England 12/08/2013 – For those looking for a quick and simple way to transform a room, wall murals provide the perfect answer.
This innovative and relatively new decorating product is proving popular with all kinds of people. These days, you will find wall murals being used in practically every kind of building and by people from all walks of life.
The fact that there are so many different kinds to choose from is part of the reason they are so popular. They come in literally thousands of different designs and are a quick and easy way to give a completely different look and feel to any room.
Murals can be printed up in a variety of sizes. This means that a mural designed for the dining room of a large contemporary home can easily be reduced in size and used in a normal urban home, as well.
Another reason for their popularity is the fact that they are so easy to apply. The wall they are to be applied to just needs to be smoothed out and cleaned, which is a task most DIY enthusiasts can manage. Naturally, care has to be taken during the application process, but once the leading edge is in place, applying the rest of the mural is quite literally child’s play.
Murals have come a long way since the 1970s, when they were effectively just stickers of cartoon characters, like Brian the snail. Today, they can feature an entire scene.
Children’s murals are still extremely popular, but these days they are far more interesting and varied. Natural scenes such as fields of flowers or forests are extremely popular and are a great addition to the communal rooms of care homes and hospitals bringing the beauty of nature into what would otherwise be bland, unfriendly, cold and clinical spaces.
Bespoke Murals
Modern print techniques mean that bespoke murals can be produced. Firms like Murals Wallpaper are occasionally commissioned by interior designers to produce one off murals for use in public buildings and high-end homes. As one of the pioneers of mural decor, they are especially pleased to see that their products are now popular, and are a feature of all kinds of UK homes.
