INDUSTRY-INSPIRED WALL MURALS FOR OFFICES

Posted on March 11, 2019 by Ben - Office Ideas

Not only that, it can impress existing and prospective clients, motivate your employees and leave a lasting, positive impression.

The possibilities are endless. You could use photos that hint at your company’s name, simply show what the business does, photos of your locations, photos that play to your company’s heritage, more abstract murals that look fantastic and demonstrate at what you’re all about…the only real limitation is your imagination.

Even better, you can use photos you’ve taken of your premises, your staff, your processes…anything that genuinely shows how you operate. Again…your imagination is your only limit!

We’ve put together a few ideas that we hope will inspire you to consider a photo wall mural the next time you decorate your offices. Take a look…

: You can have a little fun with your wall mural too – this one was installed at a digital agency in Manchester.

: Space invaders style wall mural – fun for the employees.

: In the digital industry? Then an abstract mural like this would be great for a meeting room, your reception area or even breakout rooms.

: Showing your business premises by night is a great way to make them look fantastic – even a factory like this one!

: In the music industry or associated with it? Black and white photographs like this can create extremely atmospheric wall murals for your offices.

: It doesn’t have to be a photo – this illustration would be great for a holiday company or travel agency.

: Whether you work directly in the pharmaceutical industry or just supply them – a mural depicting the business and/or your products will impress clients and visitors.

: Installed in a meeting room in a Manchester office, this office mural is bright and cheerful.

: Calling all florists, wedding businesses or even funeral directors – a tasteful, subtle wall mural like this could suit your offices.

: Any businesses in the travel industry would benefit from a photo mural like this one.

: Black and white photos of your premises – like this steel works for example – are great for meeting rooms.

: An overhead view of your business – especially if it covers a large area – is not only impressive, but lets visitors know they’re in the right place!

: Striking photographs of processes would work well for a manufacturing company. Makes for a great reception wall mural.

: You eat with your eyes – so show your food off in style with a wall mural.

: Take to the skies – a colourful image of a plane taking off could suit a number of industries, not least travel.

: Restaurants, catering companies and other food manufacturing businesses could showcase their experts.

: For boudoir photographers – or any photographer – showcasing your work on a large scale with a wall mural will help you win more clients.

Hopefully you understand what we’re trying to show you and you’ve already got some great ideas for your office makeover. Oh, and you’re office décor, branding and the like doesn’t have to be restricted to wallpaper. We can print your images to a number of materials suitable for almost any area of your premises.

The quality of the print using this high definition image, combined with the correct choice of wallpaper, is what makes this look soooooooo good. See?

The mural is the feature wall in this office.

Stark contrast to the other, plain, walls.

WINTER MURALS AREN’T JUST FOR CHRISTMAS

Posted on November 22, 2018 by Ben - Bathroom Ideas, Bedroom Ideas, Dining Room Ideas, Kitchen Ideas, Living Room Ideas, Office Ideas

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.

: Careful choice of mural composition positions the bath at the end of a path through the winter woods – a nice place to be relaxing, all warm and cosy, while the weather batters away outside.

: The combination of wintry mountains and blanket of clouds is ideal for a bedroom wall mural – the mountains frame the bed, while the clouds provide a soft and inviting surround. Cosy.

: The choice of super stunning imagery like the Aurora Borealis as viewed from a frozen Iceland can act as a real counterpoint to the rest of your décor.

: There are plenty of ways to introduce a winter theme to your children’s bedroom too – instead of a photograph, a cartoon style winter scene looks amazing when positioned correctly.

: For the kitchen we’ve opted for a stark image in terms of colour, but beautiful in its composition.

: Alternatively, a bit of that out of the box thinking gave us the idea of using winter vegetables for the kitchen wall mural. And you don’t HAVE to paper all the way to the floor. Here we have stopped at the same level as the worktops, with plain white below. Works quite well, don’t you think?

: Got a passion for winter sports? This example shows what can be done with a well shot photo – and with Wallbeard’s Wallbuilder technology you can use your OWN photos, so if you’ve got a great shot of yourself or someone else skiing, snowboarding or whatever, you can use that!

: The natural winter world teems with wildlife – this arctic wolf image works fantastically well in the living room, and would make a great counterpoint to a roaring log fire.

: Winter also lends itself well to office wall murals – here we’ve used the image of a train, but it could be a winter/cityscape combination, perhaps where the business is based, or something more appropriate to the nature of the specific industry.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…DECORATE ACCORDINGLY

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Ben - Bathroom Ideas, Kitchen Ideas, Living Room Ideas, Office Ideas

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.

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!

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

: Family

: Goals

: Hobbies

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.

: New York, New York

: Abstract

The choice, as ever with Wallbeard, is yours!
