Trompe L'Oeil Wall Decor and Wall Mural Ideas

Some of the larger ones - especially Trompe L'Oeil wall decor (French for ‘deceive the eye’) are quite lovely. These are the ones that might look like an open window and the view beyond.

Equally, a photo wall mural can make a stunning impact on a large plain wall, perhaps a conservatory or sun room.

There are many themes available including bookcase murals - great for a library or den area.

Many murals have a sports theme that would be just right in a Game Room - especially if you have gone the route of converting a garage into a game room and have large, uninspiring whitewashed walls to cover.

Stick on wall murals are particularly useful as you can easily remove them and re-apply if you make a mistake or replace them completely when you feel a change would be good.

Another option would be to have a hand painted scene on one wall in your vacation property. This can be designed to reflect your style and also the area where your property is located.

If you don't have the skills yourself, one cheaper option would be to contact a local art club and ask if any of their members may be up to the task.

My personal favourite though has to be the photo wall mural. Some of them are not too large so may suit those who aren't quite looking for a full-on whole wall design but something a little smaller. Some come with a picture hanger strip, some are stick on wall murals and others are more like a wallpaper mural which will need to be treated like wallpaper and have wallpaper paste applied in order to hang.

Of all the topics covered on this website, wall murals is perhaps the only one of which I have no personal knowledge.

I have never used one and, come to think of it, I don’t know anyone else who has either. I think that to many of us Brits, it is synonymous with Hilda Ogden in Coronation Street - so delighted with her 'muriel'.

For the sake of completeness though, I thought it was something I should look into and I must say that I was surprised.
