Using Custom Wallpaper With Out Of The Box Elements

When using a custom wallpaper installation in your home, it's important to keep in mind how the wallpaper will interact with your present decor scheme. But if you're starting over with a brand new themed room, you can purchase your out of the box decor elements to meld harmoniously with your custom wall mural.

Take for instance the inspiration room above. Our client wanted to create a desert themed environment that was in keeping with a very popular CG film. Though we couldn't brand the wall mural with characters from the film, the client easily found mass produced decals to place on top of the wallpaper, getting the scenic effect that was desired, with the characters that his son loved.

Above and beyond the wall treatments, the client also brought in other decor pieces and furnishings to fully complete the look. You'll notice in the image that our client also painted out the ceiling to extend the wall mural overhead. In all, this is a perfect representation of the successful outcome of marrying custom wallpaper and store bought accessories.

Custom Wallpaper Project: Kids' Arts & Crafts Room

We're all about creativity when it comes to custom wallpaper projects. Even though we're chocked full of original ideas, imaginative kids can always give us a run for our money. We always hear that our custom wall mural installations inspire their viewers, so placing a mural in your kids' arts and crafts room will certainly aid in the inspiration of your children in their art projects.

Before we continue, the first concern of parents is the durability of the wallpaper, as well as if the mural can be cleaned. We print our custom wallpaper with inks that are waterproof, and may be cleaned with mild, non-solvent cleansers. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or pads in favor of soft cloths to ensure that the wallpaper will not be scratched. Of course, if the mural is drawn on with permanent markers, this will not be able to be easily removed. At the end of the day though, wallpaper isn't bulletproof, and our custom wallpaper follows suit.

We like the mural image as shown above as it focuses on the central theme of the arts and craft room: art supplies. The colored pencils' repetition offers visual interest compositionally, while the bright colors will engage your child's interest and surely spur them on to new heights of creativity. A custom wall mural in the arts and crafts room is not only great for the kids, but can be engaging for Mom and Dad during scrap booking projects, while gift wrapping, or whatever activities you undertake with a craft table.
