My living room used to be, well, living room-ish 😁. Beige walls, a tired old rug, the usual furniture arrangement. It was functional, but lacked any spark, any personality. It felt like a holding space, not a haven. Then, one day, I stumbled upon a breathtaking forest mural painted by an artist on the streets of London. Suddenly, a wild idea bloomed: what if I could bring nature designs indoors, just like the mural I saw? That was the start of a journey that transformed my living room - and my life. It wasn't easy, but it was worth every step. Let me walk you through my process of selecting the best themed wall murals, share some ideas, and hopefully inspire you to bring a little bit of nature into your own space.

The Inspiration:

That London street mural has wakened something in me. It wasn't just the beauty of the artwork, but the feeling it evoked. The artist had captured the essence of a sun-drenched forest, with vibrant greens, golden sunlight filtering through the leaves, and a sense of tranquility that seemed to emanate from the canvas. I stood there, captivated by the detail, the colors, the way it seemed to pull me into the heart of the woods. It was exactly the kind of feeling I craved for my living room. I wanted to escape the mundane, the beige walls, and create a space that felt alive, refreshing, and connected to nature.

The Research:

Inspired by that street mural, I dove headfirst into the world of nature-themed murals. I started by searching online, browsing through countless websites showcasing stunning artwork. I quickly discovered that the possibilities were endless. There were murals depicting lush rainforests, serene beaches, majestic mountains, and vibrant gardens. Each theme offered a different kind of escape, a different way to bring the outdoors in.

It was exciting and overwhelming at the same time! I wanted to explore all of them, to immerse myself in each world. But, I knew I had to focus on my own vision. What kind of feeling did I want to create in my living room? What kind of nature would best complement my space and my personality?

The Challenges:

This journey into the world of nature murals wasn't just about picking a pretty picture. It was a bit like planning a real-life outdoor adventure!

    Budget

    Nature murals could range from affordable prints to custom-made masterpieces. I needed to find a balance, a price point that fit my budget without sacrificing other home improvements.

    Size

    My living room wasn't huge, so I had to consider the scale of the mural. Would it overwhelm the room, or would it create a sense of spaciousness?

    Placement

    Where would the mural go? Would it be a statement piece on a focal wall, or would it be incorporated into a larger design scheme?

The Decision:

With the challenges in mind, I started to narrow down my choices. I realized that I was drawn to forest murals. The idea of bringing a piece of the woods into my home appealed to me the most. I loved the way they evoked a sense of peace and tranquility, of escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

I searched through online galleries like Pinterest and art marketplaces, looking for murals that captured the essence of the forest, but also fit within my budget and the dimensions of my living room.

I looked at various styles, from realistic depictions to abstract interpretations. One day, while browsing a website specializing in nature murals, I stumbled upon a piece that stopped me in my tracks.

It was a breathtaking depiction of a 3D style blue forest clearing, with a winding path leading into the heart of the woods. The artist had captured the light and shadow, the textures of the leaves, the feeling of being surrounded by an abstract nature. It was the perfect blend of realism and artistry, a piece that spoke to my soul.

And there it was - my "aha" moment. I knew I had found the perfect mural for my living room 🥰

The Installation:

Now came the exciting part – bringing the forest mural into my living room! I knew I couldn't just slap it up on the wall myself. It was a large piece, and I wanted to make sure it was installed properly. I researched local artists and found one who specialized in murals and had experience with wall preparation and installation.

It wasn't a quick process. The artist spent time preparing the wall, ensuring it was smooth and even. He also helped me decide on the placement, making sure the mural was centered and balanced (if you're a DIYer, check this guide of wall mural installation). As he unrolled the mural, the calming colors of blues and textures came to life. I could almost smell the fresh pine needles and hear the rustling leaves. The installation itself was a bit of a ballet, with careful measurements, precise cuts, and a lot of patience. The artist worked diligently, ensuring every detail was perfect.

By the end of the day, the mural was complete, a magnificent tapestry of color and light adorning my living room wall.

The Reveal and the Transformation:

The moment I stepped into my living room after the mural was installed, my breath caught in my throat. It was like stepping into a magical forest clearing. The vibrant blues & gray hues, and winding path seemed to draw me in, inviting me to explore. The sunlight filtering through my windows danced on the leaves, creating an ever-changing play of light and shadow. It was more than just a picture on the wall; it was a window into a world of peace and tranquility.

The mural transformed the space entirely. The beige walls were gone, replaced by a vibrant canvas that brought an abstract nature indoors. My living room felt alive, fresh, and connected to the world outside. It was no longer a holding space, but a haven, a place of respite from the city's noise and chaos. I found myself & my cute dog spending more time in my living room, reading, meditating, simply enjoying the tranquility of the forest scene. It was a constant reminder to slow down, to breathe deeply, to appreciate the beauty of nature, here's a video showcase of my new Living room:
