Wall mural or….? What do you suggest?

2 years ago

This bathroom wall needs help! I like the idea of a wall mural - peel and stick or pre-pasted. But this is a very tall ceiling. Are there companies that have extra tall, custom murals? Or would you suggest some other type of wall decoration?
Thank you!

    I am a huge fan of murals! I am sure any size can be purchased for the right price. Do you have any designs in mind? Can you post a photo of the entire wall?

    Thank you. This is the entire wall. It’s the wall with the hanging picture. What mural companies should I search? We’re into a mid-century, Nordic or nature-themed look. Nothing too bold, but a bit more muted and subtle.

    since the ceiling is so tall, I'd look at doing a nice light of some type.

    You could also do a wall treatment w/wood trim molding and paint.

    Or in this case, a tile wainscot






    Maybe some wood shelves over the toilet. You could do something in a marble w/brackets if youlike:




    Or wood shelves and style,,


    You'll notice on this wall there is a horizontal wood plank accent design. you could also do vertical.

    Here's the vertical wall treatment. you could paint it any color, and the wall a diff color.


    I like this option and would take it around all of the walls possible.

    more modern design, the wood slat accent wall. these can be painted or stained in black if you want more contrast




    do some more plants on shelving above toilet


    (Your art is hung way to high btw, should be from floor to CENTER of pic, about 56" )

    speaking of art, since you have the high ceiling, you could do gallery wall of sorts:


    another cool idea is painting the ceiling (since it is so high) a darker color. this helps bring it down. Then bring in some type of pendant or chandelier.

    see this room w/the black ceiling? something like this. (you can use any color you like)



    here's a quick photoshop w/some of the things I've mentioned.


    diff light and shelving


    I'd do one of those wall trim treatments to finish it up.

    I like either of these


    Can't find a vertical wall treatment, so use your imagination. but this black/white would look good in your room




    Or you could just paint one of the walls a dark contrasting color, bring in a nice rug and the light

    Just a visual. if you did the white lower portion w/tile or a wood trim wainscot, vertical shiplap, board/batten, etc, then you paint the upper portion a contrasting color.



    When you cut the wall in half w/colors like this, it brings down the ceiling a bit.

    here's the wall mural idea





    Or, you could just get some type of stencil and use paint to make your own design

    I would do some shelves over the toilet with a large piece of wall art.

    Some mural companies on Etsy will work with your proportions. I have a narrow powder room with a 10 foot ceiling so I’ve also looked into a mural on one wall. The companies I got samples from will work with the exact size you want to make the artwork look “right”. And Beth gave you a ton of other ideas for tall, narrow walls in bathrooms.

    Can't help but notice that a lot of things being suggested are not going to survive a frequently steamed up bathroom, and/or will need to be cleaned frequently (do you really want to be wiping down multime picture frames, or cleaning wood slats?)


    Must add that if you put any pendant or decorative light in the bathroom please be sure it can withstand moist envorionments and won't be hazardous.


    Your plant looks very happy and more of them would look great

    Not sure I understand the shape of the room without a picture of the entire wall but I think a mural would be great.

    You all are so very helpful. I never considered shelving above the toilet. But I can see it now. Thank you so much!!!
