Murals with wall decals - need design ideas and help

10 years ago

I would love to purchase a bunch of wall mural stickers of animals and plants like these that I found on Houzz. Not to figure out how to arrange them on the walls. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm going to do this in an adult space (not kids). I have two walls similar to this picture, but with even more room.

I want to sort of create a sea to jungle kind of scene. Like underwater on one end and treetop on the other.

Should I start with ocean near the window? Or on the other wall?

They have all kinds of plants also.

Unless you're very artistic, you might be happier with a mural that already has the artistic touch.

Yes decoenthusiaste - that's the issue. I am not artistic. Do you think I should just buy some of these stickers and try to put them up and not try to paint anything? I can't afford to pay someone to do a mural.

I think you should not try to combine both themes. stick to either sea or tropical, but both will be too much and may end up looking amateurish vs sophisticated.

Yes that is a good point. Maybe I will just do the jungle. But...They have these cool palm trees and fish and dolphins and stuff like that. That's why I liked the idea of having the sea. Hmmm. decisions.

Not sure what you're going for in this adult space, but I agree with the above suggestion to do a mural on one wall instead of trying to individually piece something together. I have a "Murals Your Way" mural and they are very reasonably priced, well made and customer service is excellent. Here is one example, but check other jungle themes on their website

Hm. Those murals from murals your way are cool and they would look good but I really like the art on the walls of the wild pieces. Maybe I will just put a few of them up on their own. I also think as I look at it that an entire mural might actually NOT be what I'm going for after all. Maybe just some of the animals and a palm tree or two would work well. I could maybe put a few of the fish up in my bathroom. I think they work in the shower/tub. They are waterproof.

I'm open to more suggestions if anyone has them and thanks for what you've offered so far.

Hi kbodhi,

I second the suggestion of a wall mural for this project.

It would easier than applying several decals one by one.

Here are some suggestions:
