Bedroom Wall Murals Part 2: Personalized Sanctuaries

Bedroom wall murals part 2! (if you missed part 1 you can find it here)

Wall murals are usually created in one of two ways: painted by hand, or applied as pre-printed designs in wallpaper-like sections. I'm not going to bother with the ins and outs of each option; today is just about looking at styles. If you were going to add a bedroom wall mural to your home, which style would you prefer? Check out these creative ideas:

Here, the rug motif is reflected in wall art that creates a great combination of street style industrial with the ethnic design motifs. Painted in an abstract style with added texture.

Whimsical motifs and bright colors create fantasy vibes.

A tropical paradise is created with wonderful wall motifs. This mural really works due to the neutral, toned down bedding and furniture.

Luxurious fabrics and textures combined with the cool color tones give this space a dusk-like luminosity.

The monotone wall mural keeps this space looking clean and balanced.

The warm tones of orange lend a warm glow to this tropical paradise mural.

A fantastic renaissance-style mural with muted colors.

For the beach lover, airy and tropical

I love the loose watercolor style of this mural and its vibrant colors.

This mural has an asian themed motif.

I'll be back soon with some Valentine's Day-inspired designs. Stay warm!

Bedroom Wall Murals Bring The Outdoors Inside

Wall murals Part 1! I had too many great examples to share, so I thought it best to split them into two manageable blog posts. Here's the first.

Large florals in a tropical design, combined with dark-wood antique furniture, give off vintage vibes.

Full moon mystique

White and bright tropicals are airy and light

A vintage nautical scene for a more masculine vibe

Dreamy and romantic fantasy- note the use of string lights mounted over the mural

A more colorful beach scene incorporates blue and purple

A green forest theme brings the outdoors inside

For the skier or cold-weather enthusiast

Stay tuned for part 2!

Upcycled Chandelier Crystals for Your Winter Garden

As if snowy pine branches weren't beautiful enough! What to do with those odds and ends of old chandelier crystals you may have lying around? Here's an idea!

Hang them individually or in groups from a favorite tree branch (maybe the one you can see from your kitchen window?) and enjoy them year-round.

How to? Stringing them with fishing line is usually a smart option - not only is it strong and sturdy, but it's also transparent, which doesn't distract from the scene. Wire or other types of cord and yarn can work too.

Here's some cold-weather inspiration...
