Although there are many ways to decorate a wall with style, murals and photomurals are options that give fantastic results and are capable of dressing a room. Next, we expose several ideas regarding murals to decorate our walls according to the tastes and needs of each person.
The murals can occupy a whole wall, or only part of it. Also, we can form triptychs in separate pieces. There are murals painted directly on the wall or murals that adhere to it. In this article we are going to discover different ideas of decorative wall murals.
Drawings on the wall
The most positive of the murals is that we can make our house what we want and provide our walls with an unparalleled decoration. Thus, it is possible to recreate our room in the middle of a street in Rome, make the children's room a circus or feel in the middle of nature, for a price not very high. The large murals, in addition, will be a perfect option to dress large rooms, or homes with very high walls that give us the feeling of emptiness.
Murals are a trend in interior decoration, which is why we often find them in houses. They are perfect for the living room and the bedrooms, although we can also place them in corridors, bathrooms and kitchens. It is not advisable to integrate one in each room unless they are very discreet, but, with the right decorative decisions, we can give a totally new air to our rooms.
The murals that are drawn directly on the wall, as if it were a fresco, are the most expensive, but the result is much more natural. You can ask for a quote on a drawing that you like, be it an animal, a landscape or a large poppy that decorates your living room, without forgetting the abstract compositions that will give a modern and minimalist touch. If you are an artist, you can draw them yourself and recreate the best of abstract art or figurative works. Simply colored polka dots or horizontal stripes can result in a delicious decoration.
Wallpapers
An easy-to-install and economical option (a 150 x 230 mural can cost approximately 40 or 50 euros) are the wallpapers. Being a trend, there is more and more demand for them and also more options. They usually come with tail included and in separate parts, to favor their placement.
We just have to place each piece carefully, using a cloth to remove the excess glue from the edges and avoiding air bubbles that can ruin the composition. They are perfect for kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms, and in general, for smooth walls.
Wall decals
You will have heard of the decorative options that vinyls give us, and not only in walls, but also in furniture, windows or even shower screens. For walls we find interesting alternatives, such as a vinyl that recreates a Skyline of your favorite city, a great animal that will decorate your door, lyrics, musical notes ... the options are very numerous.
Decorative photos for walls
If you are a lover of photos and you like personal memories, you have found the perfect way to decorate the walls. We can make compositions using photos of ourselves or our friends with round shapes of different sizes, or line a corridor or a small wall with many of them cut into squares of uniform size.
They will dress the walls, attract the attention of the visitors and make us spend long moments contemplating them while they are part of a personalized decoration of the home.
Compositions that we can make
We can always dress the walls with elements created by ourselves. For example, butterflies or paper flowers. Also, we can place a fabric and fill it with brights (a perfect option to visually enlarge a room) or even incredible compositions with painted paper rolls. The fantasy is infinite to dress our walls.
Great murals that recreate cities
Without a doubt, one of the most demanded options. How would you like to have in the middle of your living room the Eiffel Tower in Paris, a rainy street in London, the Times Square in New York, any other city that has fallen in love with you or means something to you? It provides an aspect of the most romantic and is very personal. A perfect decoration for travelers that gives great results in both color and black and white.
In addition, we can play with the effect that the murals give us and increase the depth of the stay with an open street like the one in the image. Murals are also a good resource for enlarging small environments.
Nature elements
You can move your living room to a paradisiacal beach in Thailand, and feel all the peace and joy that these pictures and their colors give. Or install our lounge in the middle of a jungle. Another option is to recreate an aquarium in your living room, or even a safari for those with a wild spirit. After placing these murals, your house will cease to be standard and you will feel in it better than ever.
Textures and borders
Gradients, rhombuses that hypnotize us, polka dots or texture that imitates crumpled paper.. Anything that we like and combine with the chosen style of our rooms will result in a design that is as aesthetic and innovative. You can paint the walls of a room with paint yourself, using the base of a broom.
Drawings without coloring or in the form of comics
For the children's room, or for people who always love comics, it's perfect to recreate our favorite comic book character in the living room or create uncoloured silhouettes, which give a childish appearance, while fresh and Bohemian.
Maps to decorate the walls

Letters for the walls
Words, letters of an alphabet that we like or beautiful poems. In addition, we can combine the size of the words to achieve a more modern composition. Dress the house without recharging, so it is a highly recommended option in hallways, kitchens or bedrooms.
