Big Mural in a Little Bedroom

Okay, forget just hanging a painting at the head of the bed. This hyper-color bedroom takes it a step further with an entire mural wall acting as a headboard...

This bedroom looks like it might just be nestled into a little alcove that's partitioned off by those bright red drapes. The rear wall has been covered with what appears to be a gigantic blow-up of a mountain scene photograph. Between the mural, the bedspread and the curtains, this little bedroom nook packs quite a colorful punch.

We could see recreating this look in any number of the closet bedrooms we've seen here on AT. If you like the look and have a mural in mind for yourself, you might consult these guys from Maxwell's 11.07.08 email. Photo: Annie Schlechter

Ummm
Those giant posters with mountainscapes and coconut trees on the shore fascinated me as a kid in the 1984 Sears' catalog, but today, for some very odd reason, I don't really regret that my parent's never actually put one up in my room...

I like it. But I'm a sucker for fantastical, kitschy decor.

Photomurals are so 2005...

It looks pretty...more power to the sleeping beauty! don't be haters!

A really good use of the photomural.

I had a mural of a forest in autumn on my bedroom wall when I was in college - complete with a winding path to infinity. Many a night I wished I was on that path and away from all the studying.

I could do it again.... but with something like this:

Sorry, this seems cheesy to me.

of course its cheesy. thats why its so fantastic! I'd love a room with a deer in the forest mural.

I was instrumental once in installing a photo mural of the Neuschwanstein castle in an office that was otherwise pretty boring. (That is one of the ones Disney used as a model.) I'd consider something that fanciful in a home, if the space were right... Or one of my favorites, the photo of Earth from space, usually called "Earthrise". I think that would be cool in a dining alcove, for example.
