First Steps to Your Custom Murals

By Sam Smith

So you have finally decided to get your wall done with some custom murals from a muralist, and you want some fresh ideas of how to make your house stand out. So how should you decorate your house? There are so many things you can do?

First, you want to figure out how fancy you can get. That means, how many rooms can you afford to get painted. Once you've figured that out, you're next step is to figure out which rooms you will decide to decorate. Will it be just your living room where you entertain guests, or perhaps you would like to have your bedroom done as well? The last thing to do is figure out what style do you want to use.

Your style reflects your personal taste, and is the most exciting part of the project! Now that you have your' budget, and you have your choice of a couple of rooms, you get to decide where you want to place your murals, and what you want them to express. Here are some ideas to start you off:

1) Philosophical Message - Philosophical messages are often used in religious imagery, and can be very dramatic. Whatever religion you believe in, you can often find famed stories to use to post on your walls.

2) Cultural Message - Every culture, either the one you've grown up with, or the one that attracts you has messages that are very special to them. Cultural messages are especially powerful when they are placed prominently in your house, and will give you and your family a much bigger attachment to the culture.

3) Countries - If you are a perrenial explorer, and have different trips that you've went on to other countries, a great way to have those beautiful moments remembered is by posting some of the most special parts on your wall. You can have the muralist start with a photo you've taken, or simply use other famous photographs.

4) Hobby Themes - Some people really love certain hobbies. Be it writing, art, cars, history, sailing or anything else. Having photos up on the wall not only makes your whole day more relaxing, it allows you to express that part of yourself to everyone who walks in the door.

5) Beauty themes - Some of the most beautiful scenery comes from the outdoors, be it a picture in the wilds of Africa, the rainforests of South America, or just the ocean. If you find that these scenes mean alot to you, those are great ideas to put on your wall murals.
