Landscapes are the most popular images for murals, giving depth and beauty to your living space. Here we have an epic sunrise vista over a mountain lake. The cool crystal clear water will give a calming influence to your home, with gorgeous use of color and scale. If only this was your real window view! 

Dark colors are more pronounced in this mural so will need a bright, light wall to place against. The watery theme would really suit a bathroom or kitchen.

Superb tones in this print from Little Valley Studios. The composition brings a real sense of calm and wonderment. I would love this in my bedroom, with a window open to help transport me to the breezy plains and drift away to sleep.

The soft tones in this wall mural make this suitable for most decors, but it would work particularly well in a nursery or master bedroom – or anywhere you want to create a calming environment.

Cityscapes are a very popular choice for accent wall murals. What could be more iconic than the big apple itself? I love that the artist has included the window frames in this piece. With a moment frozen in time from the city that never sleeps.

This would work incredibly well on an empty wall in an urban apartment, placed carefully you may even trick yourself into thinking it’s real.

A slightly chillier landscape in this epic glacial scene. Painted with light reflection in mind, some carefully placed downlights will highlight the frosted sky. I would love this in a cozy bedroom to make me want to bury myself deeper in the duvet.

A deep-colored rug or wooden flooring beneath this painting would really compliment the deep blues in this stunning wall mural. 

Neon City Blues

This image has captured the glorious colors you’ll find in a modern City center in the rain, with a dark sky and watery neon reflections bouncing off the rain-soaked streets. 

Unusually, the artist has captured a moment with no signs of life, titled “post-apocalyptic neon city blues, this was clearly no accident, and you can let your imagination decide why that might be. Like most cityscapes, this will be perfect in your urban apartment living space.

This striking oil painting looks so immersive blown up to these proportions, I feel like an ant looking from this point of view. This really maximises the effect you get from wall murals, giving you so much impact you just wouldn’t get with wallpaper. 

The towering poppies are literally bursting above the grass in a cascade of colors. As pictured, this would go beautifully in a white themed lounge or drawing room.

Another iconic skyline is easily recognizable as the Big Smoke. Lots to remind you of the historic capital, from the old Tower of London to the modern Shard. The inky colors used remind me of the great literature that comes from here, from Shakespeare and Dickens to Bowie and Elton John. 

Superb contrasts in this print, dark blues and greys against white walls are a must. 

Sunset Countryside Tree

There are plenty of bird murals to choose from, forever popular for their varied colors and beauty. This is one of our favorites, with a flock of various breeds perched in a sprawling tree sprouting from your floorboards, if placed correctly.
