OH, THAT’S CLEVER! INNOVATIVE USE FOR A WALL MURAL

Posted on July 29, 2019 by Ben - Kitchen Ideas

We love it when our customers share their wall murals with us. We love it even more when they’ve done something unusual with them!

Hannah used the photo above – one of her own – to create a mural for her kitchen that would serve as the splashback to her cooker. Having installed the mural as usual it was then covered with a sheet of glass fixed to the wall, a trick Hannah had seen on Pinterest.

So…what does she have to say about it?

The mural looks great. I had it made to go behind my glass splash-back in the kitchen. I’d seen it been done on Pinterest! So thought I’d give it a go. I absolutely love it and have had so many comments from friends and family. It was so easy to put up and I am just in love with it. It finishes off my kitchen and adds a bit of my personality!

What a brilliant idea – We reckon if you’ve got the right photo you could use a Wallbeard wall mural to create a splashback like this all around the kitchen or even in the bathroom, perhaps in a shower cubicle or just above the bath. If you’re worried about using glass, clear acrylic would do just as good a job.

So there you have it – a Pinterest-inspired wall mural splashback idea for you to consider.

Remember, you can use your own photo, just like Hannah, or choose from hundreds of thousands from our library.

CUSTOMER INSTALL: CITY OF LIVERPOOL SKYLINE WALL MURAL

John and Susan N. chose this wonderful black and white image of Liverpool, which clearly features Liverpool’s famous liver birds atop the Grade I listed Royal Liver Building, for their kitchen and it matches well with their existing décor.

The couple chose our Paste the Wall wallpaper, which can be hung easily with almost no mess and no need for a pasting table.

We think it looks superb.

You can share your Wallbeard wall murals with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (tag us – @wallbeard) – and if you need some inspiration, check out our Pinterest boards.

There are few more stunning sights in the world than ‘winterscapes’. Indeed, such scenes make remarkably striking wall murals and they can suit a well decorated room all year round – not just for Christmas!

Avoiding any obvious Christmas references when choosing a winter wall mural is a must, but from there the options are endless. A little bit of out of the box thinking can get you a genuinely unique look and feel, as we hope to demonstrate here with these ideas. Let us know what you think on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…DECORATE ACCORDINGLY

Have you ever considered a Christmas themed wall mural though? We’re betting you haven’t. And yet they can be incredibly versatile. Not only can they turn a room into your own private Santa’s Grotto, but they can also make even the smallest space feel suitably Christmas-y – without the need for other decorations or even that blasted tree!

You may prefer a winter-y scene designed to compliment your Christmas decorations in the living room, or a kid’s Christmas theme for their bedrooms, or even something extremely stylish for the office that brings the Christmas feeling in without compromising on the professional look. You see? VERSATILE.

“Why would I decorate a room with wallpaper for only two weeks or so?” I hear you cry. Good question!

If you choose our self adhesive wallpaper you can have a semi-permanent Christmas wall mural that is relatively easy to remove after the holiday. The wallpaper is super simple to put up, will STAY up for as long as you need it and should come down from most wall surfaces just as easily and in one piece*.

That’s the technical bit out of the way – now let these examples inspire you!

Just a touch of Christmas can be introduced into your office reception area – here it’s just a touch of green and a couple of balls!

A shower of golden stars to bring that festive feeling into your living room.

Food is a big deal at Christmas and the kitchen is often the base for parties – so why not bring a bit of festive cheer into yours?

No fireplace? No problem! Introduce one with a warming wall mural (and yes, we know there’s a fireplace in this particular living room!).

Of course, you can’t have Christmas without presents, can you!

A beautiful mural for the children’s bedroom – simple, elegant and oh so Christmas-y!

And a slightly more grown up version for the living room!

Who doesn’t love a snowman? This fun one is great for kid’s bedrooms.

Another snowman theme, but this one is a bit warmer and includes a lit Christmas tree – ideal for the kids again.

Classy, Christmas-y and Corporate…well, sort of. But we think this wall mural is perfect for offices, don’t you?

Honestly, there are hundreds of Christmas themed wall murals to choose from, or maybe you have your own? Either way, it’s a great way to invoke the Christmas spirit in your own home or in the office. And remember, choose our self adhesive wallpaper and it’ll be super simple to take it down in the New Year too!

*Assuming you hang your wallpaper on a surface as described in the instructions we send. If used to overlay painted walls or other wallpaper, self adhesive wallpaper my not stay up as intended and will likely damage the underlying surface on removal.
