Wall mural ideas

Choosing a wall mural behind a sofa

Give the artwork a place in the room, with the furniture you already love.

A wall mural behind the sofa of a living room

Look above the furniture.

Consider the height of your sofa, shelves and lamps. Forest in the Mist carries its trees upwards, while Earth in Motion spreads its curves across the wall. Compare the complete artwork before you choose the crop.

Balance detail and open space.

If the room has patterned fabrics or busy shelving, try a design with more breathing room. If the furnishings are simple, a bolder composition can become the wall’s main feature. These are starting points, not rules about room size.

Connect the colours.

Pick out one or two tones that already appear in your rug, upholstery or wood. A printed sample helps you judge those relationships in your own light. Keep the design you enjoy, rather than forcing an exact match.
