Murals and wallpaper murals are a creative and fun weekend project. Wall murals shouldn’t take all day to apply, if you prepare your murals and organize your tools. It is a good idea to go through all the instructions before trying to hang a mural if you are uncomfortable with the process. You should protect your flooring and furniture by using coverings or paper. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself, you could always call on a professional.
The wall you choose to put the mural on should be out of the way of direct sunlight because it can cause the colors to fade. You also want to pick a wall where you don’t move furniture around it too much because it may scuff of chip the design. By selecting a good space for your mural, it should last for many years. Before applying the wall mural, paint the wall so that the plaster will adhere to it better. Wall murals stick better with at least 2 fresh coats of paint being applied before the application. Use the plaster as instructed and most kits require that you mix the powder with water to make the plaster mixture. For the best results make sure to use as instructed.
A fresh color can brighten up a dull room but a mural can give the room personality. You can also create some new special effects with stencils and stamps. Walls can have a three-dimensional effect by using shading and faux finishes. If you don’t want to stop at a wall, an entire room can be transformed with murals. You have your choices of many different themes and you can create your own wall mural from a photograph. A personal photograph can add a personal touch to the mural and your home. Bedrooms, kitchens, bathroom and children’s room can be made into magical playrooms and unique spaces. Faux finishes can make windows and other illusions look real in the mural. A local artist can be commissioned to paint a mural for your home.
Wall murals can be found on company websites and in local markets. The adhesive that is included must be used properly for you to achieve the desired results with the mural. You want your mural to last awhile but you don’t want to waste time doing it over because it was applied correctly. Organization is important when taking on a project like this. If you get everything set up in advance, it can make the job much easier.
