The chosen format should be in harmony with the proportions of your room. A picture that is too large and takes up more than 75% of the wall can overwhelm the room, while a single picture or one that is too small and takes up less than 25% of the wall could be lost.
Take into account the distances to windows, corners, plants and furniture. An appropriate distance around the picture is usually around 15-30 centimeters. This creates a balanced aesthetic and prevents the picture from looking like a foreign object. The distance to furniture should be around 20-30 centimeters to ensure harmonious integration.
Determine whether the mural should be the focal point of the room or whether it should blend in with the existing room design. One large, eye-catching picture can dominate a room, while several smaller pictures can create a subtle yet effective atmosphere.
When deciding on the right format, take into account the interior style of the room in which the picture will later be hung. A modern and minimalist interior can benefit from an abstract, large-format picture, while a traditional decor may harmonize better with a classic landscape picture.
Ultimately, the format you choose should match your personal preferences and individual style. Choose an image that inspires you and brings you joy every time you look at it.
The living room is often the centerpiece of a home, and the mural above the couch plays a central role in the design of this space. Large formats such as panoramic images or engaging landscape photographs at least 100cm wide are particularly suitable for creating a captivating focal point and dominating the room. An impressive picture above the couch can bring the whole room together and create a coherent aesthetic. The artwork should be mounted on the wall at least 30 centimeters above the couch below.
Consider the size and format to ensure that there is sufficient distance from the ceiling. A carefully selected mural in the right format, with impressive details and vibrant colors can enhance the atmosphere of the living room and add a touch of luxury and sophistication to the room.
In the bedroom above the bed, a wall mural is a wonderful way to add personality and character to the room. Medium to large sizes are often popular here as they have enough presence to enhance the room but are not too overwhelming.
Above a double bed, formats from a width of 120 centimetres or several narrower murals that visually frame the bed are suitable. This creates a cozy atmosphere that invites you to relax and dream. In addition, choosing a mural that features calming nature motifs or soft colors can create a soothing and harmonious environment that is perfect for bedtime.
The hallway is often an underestimated room that nevertheless plays an important role in creating the overall impression of a home. A mural in the hallway can not only visually enhance the room, but also create an inviting environment to welcome your guests.
Due to the typically elongated and narrow shape of the hallway, elongated panoramic formats or a collage of several images are suitable. This allows you to create an interesting visual effect and turn the hallway into an inviting space that reflects the personality of the house as soon as you enter.
The dining area is a place where family and friends come together to enjoy meals and create memories. The mural above the dining table can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Medium to large formats from 100 centimetres wide are often preferred here. The mural should be large enough to be viewed from the entire table, but it should not overload the room.
Rectangular or square formats suit this area well and can fill the space nicely without overwhelming it. Choosing a picture with inspiring motifs or vibrant colors can liven up the dining area and create a stimulating environment for shared experiences that invites you to linger.
