Wall Decor with Window Murals
Creating Interest in Your Wall Decor Using Window Murals
- Do you have a large, open wall with few visual points of interest?
- Does your house have a large entry way enclosed with wall space?
- Do you have a bathroom with a lot of wall space and no or few windows?
- Is there a room where you want to provide depth?
If you were able to shake your head yes on any of the above questions, you are looking for a window mural.
A window mural is a combination of trompe l'oeil and a wall mural scene. Trompe L'oeil, as discussed on the Home Decorating with Trompe L'oeil page, is a technique used to create the illusion of depth. By utilizing the technique effectively, muralists are able to creat realistic windows. When an observer looks at the window, they believe they are looking a a real window. That is the beauty and the fun aspect of window murals.
The scene that appears in the window is than a matter of preference. Some may wish to carry the trick a little further and actually mimic what would be outside the window. In this case, custom work would be required. In other cases, the scene is of a favorite landscape or vaction spot. Either way, you are able to create a wall covering that is of visual interest in a space that was otherwise plain.
