DNA Mumbai Anniversary: 'Wall murals can be used to make style statement & personalise look of your residence'

Wallpapers are usually made of patterns that repeat and are mass produced. A mural on the other hand is a painting or an artwork done directly on the wall. Artists can always personalize the artwork for your room and can be made to suit your preferences and make sure your space stands out from the masses. Murals have a much larger variety and the scope of artworks that can be done is unlimited. 

Gaining preference 

One of the basic principles of interiors is to have a focus point of the room. A focus point is the point which brings the aesthetics and vibe of the interiors together. It is the cherry on top of your cake which when combined with a mural, is sheer perfection. It enhances the beauty of your surroundings. Add one mural on one of your four plain white walls and that’s all you’ll need to separate yourself from the others. It has the capability to combine your personality with your profession and customize your room to show exactly who you are. This is one of the main reasons why a mural is gaining much preference in recent times. 

People are beginning to understand the versatility and beauty of art. No human is the same and each one has their own distinctive characteristics that make them different. Creativity understands that aspect of human nature and muralists execute that nature.

Space perception 

There is a visible rising trend of wall murals on the whole. The main reason why it is rising is because people are gradually realising that the majority of the crowd is ending up with similar designs. As far as home offices are concerned, when each home is made, the interiors are made to personalize the space and make it comfortable. 

A home office is just one room in the house given solely to your profession. The reason this room needs to be distinctive is because this room showcases you and your ability in your profession. 

Hence, entrepreneurs of home offices make sure their office room stands out. A mural in a home office is perfect as it can project your profession and what you can do creatively and artistically. 

One look at this room and you won’t get the ‘What do you do for a living?’ question. One image can speak volumes of your ability and profession and when done right, the positive image your client has of you is also accelerated by leaps and bounds. It helps you professionally much more than you know. It projects a more professional outlook for what you do.

Every room when designed meets together at one point, known as the focal point. This point can either be made to stand out and make the room look distinctive or vibe with the theme of the room. Due to the personalised and customised nature of every home it’s interiors, décor, look and feel differ as well. 

A mural blends just right as it gives you the freedom and versatility required to bring the room together. Elements in a mural are myriad such as different colour schemes, patterns, caricatures, portraits, abstracts, and a lot more which provide you with the liberty to make your home one of a kind; one wall mural can do the major job for you when it comes to standing out. 

Latest themes 

Wall murals are a rising trend when it comes to commercial and professional spaces. Many home owners are beginning to realise its potential and are opting for the same. Patterns such as stripes and checks, shapes under geometric design, repetitive patterns such as tessellations, beautiful abstract patterns are on the rise. 

From last year we have a lot of clients with an increasing demand for 3D and conceptual murals. 3D perspective murals make a room look bigger and more spacious. It is a very creative form of mural and definitely one of a kind.

Along with that you can have educational themes on the walls in a fun and creative manner which teaches them something new every day. Or your teen can have illustrations or their favourite sitcoms, bands, or even their aim when they grow up and showcase their passion in a creative way.
