The Beauty Of A Custom Mural Design

By Debra Baker


It's important in today's world to stand out from the crowd and express your individuality. You can do this on many levels, from personal to business. Being able to capture someone's attention with great visuals can help propel you or your business into the spotlight and a custom mural design might be exactly what you need.

Custom murals have become increasingly popular over the years as a way to target a particular audience. Many times this tends to be a younger, more active one. Brands like Converse and other sports brands have been known to use custom designs on walls in stores around the world for the sake of attracting new customers. This is an excellent business move, but also provides a forum for undiscovered artists to get noticed.

A custom design could work wonders in a business space. It should be thought of as part of the decor and will become an important component to the overall look of the space. Choosing colors and images wisely is important, as these elements can and will affect the mood of the location, which will influence both employees and clientele alike.

You can even use artwork like this for outside in order to attract clientele to come inside. Place a great mural on a wall where there is lots of visibility. An eye-catching design will make any person curious to come inside and see what's going on or get them interested in your brand and product.

Murals are also great for at home. A lot of people will say that this is only the type of thing to go in a child's room, but a properly-done mural could actually be the perfect detail in any part of the home. Turn a great design into a conversation starter in one of the home's social rooms instead of hanging a painting on the wall. Placement is key and you can be as creative as you want, like putting a mural on the ceiling if it works!

When it comes to children and murals, it's always a good idea to let them have a say. Better yet, get them in on the action by allowing them to assist with the design or even the execution. This is a great group project for a school or community space, to liven up an old building or drab location and get everyone working together towards something great.

Your mural can be abstract or as specific as you like. Younger kids generally lean towards things with brighter colors, shapes and animal themes. Something psychedelic is great in a space like a dance studio or where yoga is done, but an office space might need something more streamlined and specific. It's a good idea here to use something that blends into the company's key objectives.

Mural painters are not difficult to find if you don't want to do it yourself. You can hire someone easily by searching artists you know or art forums online. Better yet, just ask around and you may come across someone you know who is willing to work with you to execute what you have in mind; it could very well be a friend or relative!
