The sky seriously is the limit when it comes to mural painting ideas. Most people just need a springboard to get them thinking because the possibilities are so vast. My name is Michael Cooper and I have been painting murals for about 20 years! I know, way too long! But I know a thing or two about it and I\'ve seen just about everything you can imagine!
Here\'s one thig you have to know about murals and muralists when it comes to massive-scale murals with a focus on trompe l\'oeil and 1 point perspective: If you can envision it, it can much more than likely be created.
Now, feel large and peruse the below lists of mural painting suggestions and get ready to turn that hum-drum playroom, bedroom, foyer or kitchen into something that transcends space, depth and time!
Kids\' Mural Painting Ideas
I have to admit that the popularity of this is beyond my wildest imagination. It is definitely not child\'s play! This is huge business! Interior designers, retailers, artists, even parents and grandparents are locating a lot of freedom of expression in making the best mural for a child\'s room.
It\'s my opinion that anything goes in a child\'s room as it relates to color. It doesn\'t have to flow with the rest of the colors in your property so just enable your imagination to run wild. And keep in mind, most children view their rooms as their \"fort\" or \"princess castle\" so don't be too serious. This is their space - where they get to be creative and...they get to be kids!
Here\'s a couple of of the most common ones I see and get asked about for both nurseries and children\'s rooms:
