The Beauty Of A Custom Mural Design

By Debra Baker


Nowadays, people are looking for numerous ways to stand out from the crowd and express their individuality and creativity. This could be on a personal level or on a business level. Being visually captivating can garner all the right kinds of attention, and a custom mural design could be just the way to do it.

Custom murals are becoming more and more popular for brands with specific target markets, usually the younger, active generation. Sportswear brands have been using custom designs on their walls throughout stores globally to attract a new wave of customers, such as Converse. Not only is this a great business move, but it also provides a great outlet for artists to showcase their work.

A custom mural could be just the thing that a business location needs. Undoubtedly, it comprises a part of the interior design and is instrumental to the overall effect. As such, the right colors and content is key, as these are aspects that will affect the mood of that environment. This has the ability to positively or negatively influence those working there and also those visiting.

Artwork can be used in this way to attract attention before a client even comes through your doors. Consider the effect of a mural in a public area, on a wall facing a main road. A bright and intriguing design will spark anyone's curiosity to find out more about the space or building. A great design will invite the viewer to step inside.

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!

Children love having a say when it comes to murals for their space. Let them help you to design it or even to help with getting it done. This is the type of project that really helps teamwork and bonding in a group or community when executed for a school or other rundown building. It's a great way to get everyone to work towards a common cause.

Murals can be abstract or theme-specific. Good themes for a younger audience include animals, bright colors and lots of shapes. A psychedelic-style mural might work better in a more abstract space like a yoga or dance studio, while an office or organization may prefer a design that serves as a reminder of the company manifesto or cause.

You don't have to be an artist yourself to get something like this done. There are many individuals out there looking for outlets to express their own creativity or who will work with you to create something unique and special and to your requirements. They can be found through artists' forums and even by asking around. Who knows, you may have a creative family member or friend willing to do this type of work that you never knew about!
