Wall Mural Ideas for "Mural Design Block"

By Sam Smith

So you've seen your' friends house with the mural designs on their walls, and you're pretty jealous. You want to get a beautiful mural on your house as well, and you just aren't sure how? Well, here's the good news. Below are a number of ideas.

The initial step to take is outlining your project. You need to start with a budget. Once you've decided on the budget, you can now choose the style's you want, and what rooms to paint those on.

The style you use will affect everything else, and it really depends on your personality, hobbies, what type of house you have, and what you want to see,feel and or express when you see those murals. In short, here are some themes to start you off:

1) Religious themes - Religious themes are very useful. Most religions have many fabled images that convey dramatic messages. You can use religious themes anywhere in your house, depending on the message.

2) Cultural Message - Every culture, either the one you've grown up with, or the one that attracts you has messages that are very special to them. Cultural messages are especially powerful when they are placed prominently in your house, and will give you and your family a much bigger attachment to the culture.

3) Country Themes - If you love different imagery worldwide, the best way to remember it as you go about your daily life is having your murals painted to resemble the places you love the most.

4) Hobbies - If you have a specific hobby that you love, there is no better way to enjoy it than placing parts of your hobby on the wall as a background to however you decorate the rest of your house.

5) Beauty themes - Some of the most beautiful scenery comes from the outdoors, be it a picture in the wilds of Africa, the rainforests of South America, or just the ocean. If you find that these scenes mean alot to you, those are great ideas to put on your wall murals. - 16035
