Modern Murals: The New Wallpaper?
Perhaps it’s a continuation of the oversized art trend and a backlash against gallery walls, or perhaps it’s the natural next step for wallpaper to take. Either way, murals are hot. No longer relegated to children’s rooms and DIY efforts, the full-wall image has gone mainstream.

Many wallpaper companies now offer non-repeating, large-scale images, usually printed on one or multiple panels, as an alternative to the traditional wallpaper. Companies like Pixers, Surface View, and IXXI offer a variety of images and even do bespoke options, meaning you can have just about anything you want on your wall.
