Introduction: One Wall, Endless Possibilities—So Where Do You Start?
You’ve decided to add a mural to your space (yay!). But now comes the fun—and slightly overwhelming—part:
Which design should you choose?
From lush florals to modern abstracts, soothing landscapes to playful patterns, the options are nearly endless. And since a wall mural has the power to define a room, you want to choose something that feels just right—for your space, your style, and your lifestyle.
Let’s walk through 7 expert tips from the Zeekohome team to help you confidently pick a mural design you’ll love every time you walk through the door.
🎨 1. Know Your Mood: What Do You Want the Space to Feel Like?
Your mural sets the tone. Ask yourself:
-
Do you want your space to feel calm and peaceful? Try watercolor textures, soft neutrals, or nature landscapes.
-
Do you crave energy and movement? Look for bold abstracts or geometric patterns.
-
Want to feel inspired or creative? Choose vibrant botanicals, hand-drawn sketches, or artistic compositions.
A mural isn’t just decoration—it’s an emotion on your wall.
🏡 2. Match the Room’s Purpose and Personality
Different rooms call for different vibes:
-
Bedroom: Soft, serene, romantic
-
Living Room: Expressive, stylish, conversational
-
Office: Focused, clean, motivational
-
Kids’ Room: Playful, imaginative, colorful
-
Bathroom or Hallway: Unexpected, textural, elegant
The right design brings the room’s function to life while making it uniquely yours.
🧱 3. Consider the Wall Size and Layout
A mural that looks stunning in a wide living room may not translate well to a narrow hallway. Choose your design based on:
-
Orientation: Horizontal murals for wide spaces, vertical flow for tall ones
-
Focal point: Center key elements (florals, sunbursts, etc.) where the eye naturally falls
-
Obstacles: Avoid placing intricate designs behind furniture or windows
Tip: Zeekohome offers custom sizing and layout previews to ensure the design fits beautifully.
🎨 4. Balance With Your Existing Decor
Look around the room:
-
What colors already exist?
-
What’s the general style—modern, boho, vintage, Scandinavian?
-
Do you have a neutral palette that could use a pop? Or bold accents that need balance?
Your mural should complement, not compete. It can echo a color in your rug, mirror a texture in your furniture, or simply create contrast in a monochrome space.
🖼️ 5. Choose a Theme You Won’t Outgrow
Trends come and go—but your wall is here to stay (at least for a while). Choose something timeless to you:
-
🌸 Florals are always in style
-
🌊 Landscapes soothe across seasons
-
🎨 Abstracts adapt with changing decor
-
🌿 Botanicals offer a grounded, natural feel
Pro tip: If you love to redecorate, opt for removable peel and stick murals—so you can update without commitment.
👀 6. Think About Daily Visibility
Ask yourself: Will I be looking at this mural every day?
If yes (e.g., bedroom, office, living room), you’ll want something that feels restful or uplifting over time, not overwhelming or distracting.
For less-used areas like hallways or guest baths, go bold! These are great spots for daring designs or intricate details that surprise and delight.
