Get artistic; make your own wall murals!
Bare blank walls can look quite boring and monotonous. It is said that walls have ears, so why not give them an interesting look also so they can make your living room or bedroom look more appealing and beautiful. After all it’s better to stare at a wall with an intriguing mural or painting rather than to stare at a blank wall. Painting murals is not a tough task and does not require you to have any artistic skills. All you would need are paints, brushes, glue, old magazines, storybooks and a joint compound or Plaster of Paris. Painted wall murals can be very tedious but its fun and creative.
You just need to keep a few tips in mind.
- Always cover your woodwork and furniture with newspapers and tape it so that your furniture polish does not get damaged with the paints.
- It is always advisable to apply a base coat or a neutral coat to your wall first if you have not got it painted for a long time. Make sure the base coat is light in colour like Beige, White and Fawn or off white.
- Refer to a paint specialist to find out the kind of paint you should use for your wall, whether it should be acrylic or latex.
- Don’t be afraid of getting messy while painting just enjoy it.
- Make sure you have all the paint colours and different sizes of brushes to paint on the wall.
- You have the plain white wall in front of you, so what are you waiting for? Go on and paint your imagination.
- You can also paste cut outs from old storybooks or magazines onto the scenery that you painted on the wall.
- Use a joint compound or POP to get a texture or a fossil rock look on your wall and then paint on it. It will look nice and unique.
Don’t worry about how it good your strokes or drawing is. If it makes sense then it will you will be called a good artist and if it doesn’t make sense, it will be called Modern art. Just be aesthetic and enjoy painting your wall.
