Begin by considering the existing colors in your home. Neutral tones on your sofa or in your kitchen can be the perfect backdrop for a vibrant, bold mural. Then think about the colors you like and you want in your life. Opt for colors that complement or contrast with your current decor to create a dynamic interplay of hues. Create a mood board first. Set it aside, then come back to it later (even after a few days) to see which choices you still love. Keep only those. You can repeat this exercise a couple of times to filter down to the very essence of your personal taste.
Think about the ambiance you want to create. For a lively, energetic vibe, go for bright, bold patterns. If you prefer a more serene environment, our delicate hand-drawn designs in pastel shades can add a touch of tranquility while still being visually captivating. Never be afraid to make a decision—go for the wallpaper or mural that brings you a full-body ‘YES’ when you see it. Let your heart guide you to bright places.
Determine which areas of your home you want to highlight. Whether it’s a feature wall in the living room, a statement piece in the dining area, or an accent in the bedroom, choose spots that naturally draw the eye and can handle a burst of color and pattern. Alternatively, consider adding accent designs to unexpected spaces, such as the backdrop of a cupboard or a single strip of wallpaper paired with a matching wall color.
Don’t be afraid to combine different patterns and textures. Maximalism thrives on the unexpected. Pair a bold, geometric mural with softer, organic patterns or layer different styles to create depth and intrigue in your space. Enhance your decor with matching pillows, small accessories like candleholders, or collections of small vases.
