chameleon interiors: walls

I've long wanted to do a bold mural or wallpaper background in a space - either my own or a client's. I seriously considered doing something here at Nook Cottage, but I have a lot of art to hang and not a lot of wall space, so the mural concept hasn't come to fruition. But, it hasn't stopped me from collecting some great image ideas.  <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/14/78/90/1478901e7fc55482fff2634c274806ba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/14/78/90/1478901e7fc55482fff2634c274806ba.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Wallpaper from <a href="http://www.mrperswall.com/" target="_blank">Mr. Perswall</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/03/ce/b4/03ceb417248b0d8939eb22592f644e8f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/03/ce/b4/03ceb417248b0d8939eb22592f644e8f.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Designer <a href="http://www.jarlathmellett.com/?page_id=173&pid=131" target="_blank">Jarlath Mellett</a></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/db/68/77/db68774746f77e6420de6f4ff25f6532.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/db/68/77/db68774746f77e6420de6f4ff25f6532.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">via <a href="http://www.housetohome.co.uk/room-idea/picture/weird-and-wonderful-living-rooms/2" target="_blank">House to Home</a>.

In some cases they are the true focal point of the design and in others, they ground the space. You can use real art, paint a mural, wallpaper murals or photo murals - there are so many options and resources available. Some are listed above in the credits. I would also like to point you to Laurie Laizure's <a href="http://www.customizedwalls.com/" target="_blank">Customized Walls </a>company. They have a wide selection of artwork available or you can send them a photo for them to reproduce on a large scale.  While mural wallpaper can be very expensive, photo murals can be a very well-priced option. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIWxy5ObKmMr0ehLoKpgdNlBWDmiV9zorM3FOGB-3N0AOwqcwCLIyc4Ubg2sOCMFWkNiS9T7Vev1MQC12lcko24wvux9dsn3uo4EsZQXAZXO7dowWp41R4KhyphenhyphenDfh9BmofeTEFFGRHU8Kk/s1600/Linda+sig2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIWxy5ObKmMr0ehLoKpgdNlBWDmiV9zorM3FOGB-3N0AOwqcwCLIyc4Ubg2sOCMFWkNiS9T7Vev1MQC12lcko24wvux9dsn3uo4EsZQXAZXO7dowWp41R4KhyphenhyphenDfh9BmofeTEFFGRHU8Kk/s1600/Linda+sig2.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br />

<p> I have to say that I am just loving <a href="http://www.royaldesignstudio.com/" target="_self" title="">Royal Design Studios</a>' collection of wall stencils. Modern, budget friendly and completely customizable - the sky's the limit for color palette and application technique. Particularly notable is their <a href="http://www.royaldesignstudio.com/blogs/how-to-stencil/8000811-stencil-how-to-ikat-fabric-effect" target="_blank" title="">tutorial</a> for creating an Ikat fabric effect  on the wall. </p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://http://www.flickr.com/photos/chameleon-interiors/9063376020/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" title=""><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="867" id="blogsy-1371428283108.9902" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5541/9063376020_71a6df63be_c.jpg" width="650"></a></div> <p> Readers of <a href="http://purestylehome.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="">Lauren Liess' Pure Style Home</a> blog will surely recognize the painter's drop cloth panel she hung in one of her son's rooms a couple of years ago.
