YOU’LL BE ON CLOUD 9 WITH THESE BEDROOM WALL MURALS

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Ben - Bedroom Ideas

We don’t think so. That’s why, if you’re after a bedroom wall mural, we recommend opting for a vista like the ones below.

Some are designed to be calming, some dramatic and some a little bit of both. We hope you’ll find some inspiration here and opt for cloud-based photo wallpaper for your bedroom, which we would be more than happy to print for you on one of our high quality wallpapers, of course!

Blue skies, white clouds…ideal for waking up to and sure to put you in a good mood for the rest of your day…every day.

Think about the layout of your bedroom and what, if anything, is going to go against the wall where your mural sits. This busier cloud formation works well with a bed against it.

There are many cloud formations to choose from – this one introduces an element of movement to your bedroom.

You can add just a splash of colour to your cloud mural with a rainbow. Positioned properly, a rainbow can be used to make your bed a centrepiece too.

Or you can offset it to create a more striking effect – this one even has a double rainbow going on!

Imagine waking up to every morning to this glorious sunrise? It doesn’t always have to be blue skies…

Or perhaps this warm, cloudy sunset is more to your taste? The oranges and yellows will really stand out in any bedroom.

Reminiscent of the sun setting over the Serengeti – at least to us – this mural retains the cloud theme but brings in a stunning array of hues. Relaxing and dynamic at the same time.

If you’ve got a hankering for the dramatic though…this is the type of wall mural you could be looking for. Choose wisely in terms of photo and positioning and you have a genuinely stunning bit of wall art.

We hope this gives you some ideas for a wall mural for your bedroom and illustrates how diverse even one theme can be. If you’ve got a cloud or sky themed wall mural in your home, why not share it with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?

BRING YOUR LOVE OF THE OUTDOORS IN WITH A STUNNING WALL MURAL

Posted on October 2, 2018 by Ben - Bathroom Ideas, Bedroom Ideas, Dining Room Ideas, Kitchen Ideas, Living Room Ideas

Do you prefer being outdoors than in? Do you have a love of nature, animals and the world at large?

If so, we imagine that being indoors has you feeling a little claustrophobic, pining for the space you enjoy beyond your front door. Well, we can help.

Wallbeard has a wide selection of wall murals featuring scenery, animals and nature in general which you can use to create a feature wall in any room in your house – your bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom or dining room included.

By using photo wallpaper you really can create a ‘window’ into nature – nature from anywhere in the world!

Take a look at these brilliant examples.

Bathroom Wall Murals

What better room in the house is there for an underwater wall mural? This one displays the beauty of a coral reef.

Relax in the bath with this stunning waterfall backdrop, perfectly combining natural greens and the flow of water. Ideal for bathroom décor.

Kitchen Wall Murals

There is no better room in the house to introduce a window onto nature – this one shows the splendour of the Yorkshire countryside.

Look out onto the calm of the lake, the majesty of the mountains and the splendour of the forest.

Living Room Wall Murals

A wall mural doesn’t have to be colourful – when you have the amazing elephant as your subject, it’s all you need. A stunning wildlife mural for the living room.

The living room seems the ideal room to show your love of animals to us – this tiger wall mural creates quite an effect, don’t you think?

Dining Room Wall Murals

Gaze out across the sea to this tropical island while dining with friends and family. A great idea for a dining room wall mural.

In the jungle, the mighty jungle…you’ll often find bamboo! Which makes for a stunning backdrop for your dining room with its vibrant colours.

Bedroom Wall Murals

Look from the comfort of your bed out of this coastal cave to the beach and sea beyond. Stunning wall mural.

Peace and tranquillity is what you want in your bedroom and this avenue of trees brings it in spades. For a bedroom wall mural it’s perfect.

Perhaps you’re a keen photographer – at Wallbeard we give you the opportunity to use your own high resolution photographs to create natural wall murals with a far more personal touch.

Just choose the image you want, upload it to our Wallbuilder and away you go. For a long lasting mural, we recommend choosing our Paste the Wall wallpaper. It’s 250gsm and ideally suited to high traffic areas and durable enough to last for years.

As ever, we’d love to see the wall mural(s) you choose for your home. Email them in to hello@wallbeard.com or share them with us on Facebook and we’ll publish them right here on the Wallblog.

TOP 10 MOST VISITED CITIES IN THE WORLD IN 2018

Posted on October 1, 2018 by Ben - Dining Room Ideas, Living Room Ideas, Office Ideas

Each year Mastercard publishes its Global Destination Cities Index, which ranks over 160 cities on how popular they will be with tourists.

The top 10 rarely changes, except in order, so we thought it would be fun to see how cityscape photos from each of these 10 cities would look on a wall mural in your home or office.

Is your favourite city on the list? If so, perhaps you’d like a mural of your very own?

So here we go…starting with the 10th most visited city in 2018…

10. Seoul, South Korea

The Lotte Tower dominates the Seoul skyline. Makes for a stunning office wall mural.

9. Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul’s colourful buildings make for a great backdrop wall mural.

8. Tokyo, Japan

One of the most technologically advanced cities in the world, Tokyo’s skyline at night lights up like Christmas – perfect wall mural for the dining room or living room.

7. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

When you think KL, you think Petronas Towers. An ideal wall mural for an international office.

6. New York City, USA

A different take on the standard New York skyline murals we see – this one shot from above, showing New York’s grid layout at night.

5. Singapore

Singapore could be described as the home of the skyscraper these days – as evidenced by this fantastic wall mural!

4. Dubai, UAE

Dubai has a plethora of recognisable landmarks and continues to develop at rapid speed. But we bet you’ve never seen anything like this view before!

3. Paris, France

You can’t have a Paris wall mural without including the Eiffel Tower! This one looks great in the living room.

2. London, England

With its blend of historic and modern architecture, it’s no wonder London is the second most visited city on the planet. Here you can see Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf in the same shot – super mural!

1. Bangkok, Thailand

And finally…the world’s most visited city, Bangkok in Thailand. The city has so much to offer but for this mural we chose one from the streets. Gives you a real flavour of the city, don’t you think?

You can search for your own city wall mural in each of these cities just by clicking on the name above. Or, indeed, any city of your choice on the Search page. There are hundreds of images to choose from to create the PERFECT skyline or cityscape wall mural for your home or office.

Oh, and as a bonus, as Wallbeard is based in Manchester, we thought we’d pick a Manchester skyline to show you!

The famous Manchester Ship Canal with the Beetham Tower sitting in the background. Manchester all over!

SUPER SCI-FI WALLPAPER FOR YOUR INNER GEEK

Posted on September 24, 2018 by Ben - Bedroom Ideas, Dining Room Ideas, Living Room Ideas, Office Ideas

We love a bit of scifi here at Wallbeard which is why we have a collection of murals ideally suited to satisfying your inner geek.

You can give any room in your house that futuristic feel by dedicating an entire wall to science fiction splendour, whether it’s a space scene, spacecraft, a planetscape, uber-modern cityscape or even something abstract but recognisably scifi.

And, of course, a sci-fi wall mural is PERFECT for kids’ bedrooms! They even work in offices…

We’ve mocked a few up below as inspiration for you. When you’re ready, you can browse all our sci-fi images here – or upload your own.

Please note: Not all wall murals shown here may be available

INTRODUCE NATURAL MATERIALS THE EASY WAY WITH PHOTO WALLPAPER

Posted on September 11, 2018 by Ben - Interior Design Ideas

There are many examples where natural materials have been used to create amazing spaces. Exposed brickwork, wood panelling, natural stone, granite and marble are all materials used by interior designers and architects to make feature walls or convey a feeling in certain rooms.

The problem? Yes, they can look stunning…but they’re usually very expensive.

How can you create the same effect in your own home on a budget then? With custom photo wallpaper. We’ve got some examples below for you to look at but first here’s the benefits of using photo wallpaper to create your own natural feature wall:

as we said, it’s incredibly cheap compared to using the real thing
the choice of not only material but style and design is vast
it’s really easy to hang, far easier than applying panelling or building a wall
it can easily be replaced, whereas a stone wall is a major job
it looks just as good, if not better. UV printing of high resolution photos gives fantastic results

Hopefully you can see that photo wallpaper is the way to go. Now here’s what you can achieve…

Wood Effect Murals

Stone Wall Murals

Brick Wall Murals

There are hundreds of natural material wall murals to choose from in our database – or you can upload your own photo of the exact matrial you’d like on your walls. The choice is yours.

BRING YOUR HOLIDAY HOME WITH CUSTOM PHOTO WALLPAPER

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Ben - Dining Room Ideas, Kitchen Ideas, Living Room Ideas

We all enjoy looking though snaps of holidays from days gone by. Doing so brings back the memories, the sights, the sounds, the smells, the experiences.

You’ve no doubt got at least one photo from past holidays that says it all.

It could be a sunset, a group shot, a beach shot, a landmark…anything, really.

Now imagine that one photo that says it all could be displayed across an entire wall of your living room, dining room or kitchen.

With Wallbeard’s Wallbuilder that can become a reality.

Simply upload your photo, position how you’d like it and let us do the rest. We’re experts at creating custom wallpaper that will bring that holiday right back home to you.

Have a look at these examples to see what can be achieved in YOUR home.

WALL MURALS FOR MANCAVES

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Ben - Interior Design Ideas

You might already have one or you might be planning one – a mancave, that is. That one room in the house, or perhaps a converted shed or garage, where you can escape to and enjoy the thing YOU love. Watching football, rugby, Formula 1 or some other sport, binge watching movies or your favourite TV shows, playing games on your PC, Xbox or Playstation or perhaps sinking a few beers with mates and enjoying a game of snooker or pool.

However you enjoy your mancave, you’ll want it to reflect your passions and pleasures. That’s where Wallbeard comes in. Imagine dedicating an entire wall of your mancave to that singular love of yours, whether it’s film, TV, sports, gaming or socialising – well, we’re here to tell you we’ve got the wall mural for you.

Just take a look at these!

For the socialiser…

To give your mancave a more bar like feel, these two wall murals are absolutely ideal. Position behind your home bar or use as a feature wall, it’s really up to you.

A classic beer barrel, just ready to pour you your next libation…

Game of pool, anyone?

Rack ’em!

For the sports enthusiast…

Football…rugby…Formula 1…cricket…whatever your favourite sport, you’ll find an appropriate wall mural here at Wallbeard. Alternatively, you could use one of your own photos. Either way, something like these examples will transform your mancave.

Kick off with this wall mural!

VROOOOM!

Legendary. Iconic.

Glory, glory…

For the film buff…

Turned your mancave into the ultimate cinematic experience? Top it off with a mural featuring an iconic scene from your favourite movie (you’ll need permission to use the image though!), choose from one of our relevant wall murals or simply celebrate the art of film with a cinematic image like this first one…

Give your film-centric mancave a retro look.

“Punch it!”

Celebrating Marvel, the Avengers and Ironman.

For the Star Wars fans, of course.

Finally, for the gamer…

Many mancaves are dedicated to the pleasures of gaming. PC and console set ups, lighting and uber comfortable furniture are all a requirement. What will really set your gaming mancave apart, though, is photo wallpaper dedicated to the genre. We think these are AWESOME.

Classic Mario wall art – accompanied by Luigi and Yoshi!

For the Minecraft officianado.

Retro gaming with a Space Invaders mural.

The point of this wallblog is to show you just how AMAZING your mancave can be with the addition of a photowallpaper wall mural. It’ll be even more ‘you’ if you use one of your own photos too. Just think about it…could be a photo you’ve taken at a football match, a pic of you and your mates or a screenshot of your best ever score. Whatever you like. You supply it, we’ll print it on high quality wallpaper and you just stick it up.

Go forth, men, and decorate!

PERFECT PHOTO WALLPAPER FOR YOUR HOME OFFICE

Posted on August 10, 2018 by Ben - Office Ideas

Whether you work from home, have a sideline business or just do the odd bit of overtime from the comfort of your own home office, you’re going to want it to be an environment that both motivates AND provides a reasonable level of comfort. That goes as much for the décor as it does the furniture.

Plain old wallpaper or paint just isn’t going to cut it – that’s why photo wallpaper murals are an ideal choice for this increasingly common room. While our collection of amazing murals will contain images that would suit, we feel that a photo of your own is likely to serve you best as they will better reflect you, your personality and the reasons you have for creating an office in your own home.

Consider these options:

Photos of family – the reason you work so hard
Holiday photos – the goals you set for your work
Hobby photos – the things you do to put the working day behind you

Whichever you choose, you can create your unique wall mural using our Wallbuilder tool. Just upload your photo, tweak it until your happy and buy!

Of course, if you’d prefer to use one of our own images then you could choose from many cityscapes, perhaps one you’d like to visit, or maybe a brightly coloured abstract to help motivate your mind when you’re feeling the pace.

The choice, as ever with Wallbeard, is yours!

BEDROOM WALL MURALS TO INSPIRE AND EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN

Posted on August 10, 2018 by Ben - Bedroom Ideas

Every child has a passion or two at any one time, one that we as parents often want to encourage. Whether it’s the a passion for learning about a particular subject, a passion for a current trend or just their favourite subject, a related wall mural displayed in their bedroom will not only encourage that passion but also amaze the child!

Wallbeard has a wide range of photo wallpaper designs created specifically to help in the education of everyone – whether it’s a map of the world, a chart of the solar system or a busy “under the sea” mural, you (or your child!) can choose from 100s of designs that will, without doubt, match your child’s interests and help them grow their knowledge and passion for it.

UNDER THE SEA

For those children who adore Spongebob Squarepants (or any other kind of marine life!) then a wall mural like this is sure to amaze.

OUTER SPACE

There’s nothing more awe-inspiring than planets, moons, stars and space rockets. So if your child is into “all that space stuff” then an equally awe-inspiring photo
wallpaper mural such as this one is just the thing for the bedroom. Add a little clever lighting and some accessories and there’s no end to what you could create.

Solar System Wall Mural

ANIMALS & WILDLIFE

If your child is an animal lover – be it pets or wild animals – then a wall mural of their favourite animal will be ideal for his or her bedroom.

Penguin Wall Mural

Installing a wall mural such as this in your child’s bedroom is ideal – it’s where they work, where they play, where they sleep – so they’ll enjoy and benefit from it almost all the time.
