When you think of a large mural - you will probably think painting.
This involves commissioning a mural by an artist if you are not artistic yourself at all.
These can be expensive not to mention taking hours, even weeks to complete - that is a lot of disruption to your home or office or wherever you are choosing to place your mural.
If you are a little bit creative yourself you could attempt a mural yourself.
One easy way is to project an outline onto your wall using an overhead projector - you can then paint in an outline and complete your mural easily.
You could leave the projector on and paint between the lines - take care not to bump the projector though or you will waste much time trying to realign your design.
For a quick and easy mural effect you could paint a background scene and then add the detail with adhesive wall decals.
Some decals are permanent and glued in place whilst others are designed to be removable and re-positionable.
There are so many designs of decal on the market these days that you will easily find a design you like.
These first few ideas require hours of painting and preparation to reach the desired effect of a large wall mural on an interior wall.
Another option is to consider the use of a wallpaper mural.
These are large images which are printed as wallpaper but in easy to hang sections that you align easily on the wall (no pasting large rolls of wallpaper, no measuring and cutting (except a little trimming should the mural be larger than the wall you are covering).
There are hundreds of designs for you to choose from and some companies are even creating wall paper murals from designs you send them! Wall paper murals are cheaper than a commissioned painted mural and take just a few hours to put up and are usually supplied with easy to understand installation instructions.
Wall paper murals are available in a variety of sizes so you should be able to source one to suit the dimensions of the interior space you wish to cover with a wallpaper mural.
Common size seems to be 396cm x 264cm or 13' x 8'8" and provided in 8 panels (4 on the top row and 4 on the bottom row).
Choose from: world maps, dinosaurs, fairy kingdoms, undersea adventures, pirate treasure island, city scenes, countryside designs, outer space, florals, jungle, stone wall effects, Disney characters, movie scenes and don't forget about customising your own with an image you took!
