Custom Wall Mural Inspiration: Industrial Design

A few months back we were contracted to photograph a number of industrial machines housed at a machine shop.  The interior designers at Art Harrison were assisting the company by bringing their decor up to more modern standards, which included a series of photos we shot produced as art pieces.  The pieces featured the images of the machines at abstracted angles, turning everyday tools and equipment into art.  We have used one of these images as an inspiration mural for the room above, which features a series of concentric circles; the brushed metal finish adds even more visual interest to the custom mural.

Custom Wall Mural Inspiration: Lunar Surface

For all of you stargazers out there who are looking to add touch of cosmic fancy to your walls, check out this lunar surface wall mural. The mural simply uses a photograph of the moon's surface, in all of it's cratered and crusty glory. The mural adds subtle texture while still being instantly recognizable as the moon. There are scores of different shots of the moon that could be used for a custom mural, with more crater impacted areas for a dramatic look, to the seas of the moon which will offer a more static appearance.

Using Vintage Imagery For Wall Murals

Today we are sharing an inspiration piece that uses vintage artwork for a wall mural.

Custom Wallpaper: Masculine Design

People can sometimes have the misconception that wall murals are always over the top with bright colors and overly saturated tones. While this may be true with some mural designs, a wide range of imagery exists that would be suitable for even the most reserved gentleman. Take for instance the wall mural in the inspiration room above. The mountains in their neutral tones are accented by the lines of green pine trees; the waterfall creating the perfect focal point just above the bed. A great example of how custom wallpaper may be used as a creative and non-traditional headboard.

Wall Mural Imagery: Satellite Photos

Today we're featuring an awesome wall mural of the Ganges River. You probably can't tell at first glance that the mural is of that sacred river system, but that's what we love about this wall mural design. The photograph was taken by a satellite and shows the many tributaries of the Ganges, but looks more like an abstract work of art. The Ganges River wall mural is available for purchase on our website here in multiple size and material options. If you don't want to cover a full wall, you can purchase a poster of this image for only $24.99. Custom wall mural sizes are also available to fit most any wall.
