Are wall murals a good idea?

Murals are becoming increasingly popular in children’s rooms, living rooms, hallways, and commercial spaces. Here’s why:

• Reusable – If you choose a wall mural that comes on a sheet, it can often be removed and used again elsewhere
• Damage-free – Applying a sheet wall mural means no damage to your wall
• Easy to remove – Painted murals can be easily painted over when it's time for a change-up
• Cost-effective – Compared to bespoke wallpaper
• Variety of options – Can be customised to your design style
• Easy installation – Sheet wall murals are easy and quick to install

What are the disadvantages of murals?

While murals look impressive, consider these downsides:

• Not suitable for humid rooms, like kitchens or utility rooms
• May overwhelm small rooms if the design is too busy
• Damaged sections are harder to repair than standard paint or wallpaper
• Requires precise installation to avoid bubbles or misalignment

Hire an experienced wall murals specialist and they can advise on what's best for your space.

Do you need planning permission to paint a mural on your house?

If you're thinking about painting a mural on your house exterior, planning permission may be required if:

• Your home is listed
• You live in a conservation area
• The mural faces a roadside or public space
• The artwork is considered advertising

If in doubt, always check with your local council before starting exterior work.

A wall murals specialist will also know the ins and outs of it all.

Are wall murals easy to apply?

Printed murals can be DIY-friendly. But remember – much like hanging wallpaper, precise alignment is key.

For hand-painted murals, nothing is stopping you from having a go yourself if you've got an artistic flourish. But if you’re after a perfect finish, hiring a wall murals specialist is the way forward.
