Bedroom Wall Murals Bring The Outdoors Inside

 

Wall murals Part 1! I had too many great examples to share, so I thought it best to split them into two manageable blog posts. Here's the first. 

Wall murals are usually created in one of two ways: painted by hand, or applied as pre-printed designs in wallpaper-like sections. I'm not going to bother with the ins and outs of each option; today is just about looking at styles. If you were going to add a bedroom wall mural to your home, which style would you prefer? Check out these creative ideas:

Large florals in a tropical design, combined with dark-wood antique furniture, give off vintage vibes.

Full moon mystique

White and bright tropicals are airy and light

A vintage nautical scene for a more masculine vibe

Dreamy and romantic fantasy- note the use of string lights mounted over the mural

A more colorful beach scene incorporates blue and purple

A green forest theme brings the outdoors inside

For the skier or cold-weather enthusiast

Stay tuned for part 2!

Cozy Art Places for Small Spaces

 

What do you envision as a cozy creative space?

You don't need a great deal of space or fancy furniture to create a cozy art space for yourself.

Pick up a few pieces at your favorite thrift shops (this is half the fun, right?) and of course they don't even have to match.  

Here's some small space creative space inspiration!

 Happy New Year!
