All the walls of our house are a great canvas to paint and enjoy. There are those who leave them naked, simple and without details, to create a feeling of space, but there are also those who decide to use them to add details that allow us to create a unique and different decoration.
The importance of decorative and color details it is larger in children's spaces. If we are talking about decorating the walls of children's rooms, we can think of the great children's murals, drawings that cover the walls and that surprise anyone.
What are the murals
The murals are like large pictures that are put on the walls, occupying one wall or all. They are usually inspired by landscapes or drawings. The material is like wallpaper, but the wallpaper is not a kind of giant-size painting, it usually uses decorative patterns. In the case of children's murals, we have a very special detail that will help us give the walls of their rooms much more color and character. They are a piece that can create amazing effects and that also usually uses themes such as children's favorite characters or beautiful drawings.
Put the murals at home
These murals can be put up by anyone in your home. You buy the mural that comes in rolls to apply on the walls as it is done with the wallpaper. We will also need scissors, a cutter, glue, brushes and spatulas, a cloth and a bucket and a long ruler to measure. To add the mural to the walls we have to unroll the rolls in which they come, which will also be numbered so that we do not get confused when mounting it on the wall. The wall is glued and the strips are applied one by one pressing with the spatula to avoid bubbles. You have to be very careful with the joints so that the drawing looks good on the wall. Finally, what is left is cut with the cutter to adapt it to the walls. It is good to let the paper dry and especially be very careful to properly fix each part of the paper so that everything is well even and without wrinkles or bubbles, which would give a sloppy appearance. Once the glue dries we will no longer be able to change the place of paper, so it is the most important part.
Animal murals
One of the most recurrent themes when adding children's murals on the walls is that of animals. To the kids little ones love animals of all kinds. From those in the jungle to those who live on a farm or domestic animals. These murals usually feature characters they like and animals are among the most common. So you can turn your room into a jungle with monkeys and lions, or into a farm. You will love the color and fun that the characters will bring you.
Character-inspired murals
Cartoon or Disney characters are a great inspiration for the little ones, as they grow up with their incredible stories and they like them very much. If the children have a character that is their favorite, you can look for a mural inspired by him to decorate an entire wall. There are of all kinds and they give a lot of color to the space. If your tastes change, you can always remove the mural as you remove the wallpaper and add another or paint the wall.
Landscape murals
Landscapes are another beautiful theme that is very popular, for all types of spaces, not only for children. Between the murals for children's spaces there are very different ideas, with painted landscapes of farms and other types of spaces, such as a jungle. These types of ideas are colorful and full of details. They can be seascapes or other landscapes. It is important to search among what the little ones like to add those motifs and look for murals with those themes.
How to combine furniture
If we use a children's mural on the walls of the children's room, we must bear in mind that we are going to create a very colorful space, with a large number of details. When adding furniture it is better to choose those that are simple, since we can easily use them with that colorful background. Furniture in shades like white is perfect, you should always create a certain contrast to make them stand out. If possible, it is better to choose murals that have few shades because it will be much easier to combine them with the rest of the furniture. The mural must stand out on only one of the walls, which will have prominence, in which not many pieces of furniture should be displayed, because this will make it easier for it to stand out.
