You either like them or hate them.
I'm a huge fan - if it's hung by someone who knows what they're doing that is.
Of course the photo or art design needs to be pretty cool too and hung in the correct place.
Nothing like the wallpapers I remember in my teens like when my stepfather had cartoons of topless women hung in our toilet (says alot about the man). This was the 70's and anything out rages was the go back then, the amount of drunken parties saw every nipple raised over the years by p*ssed guest sticking pins in them. Wow... thems were the days!!
Also those shocking, bright orange ring wallpapers... OMG!
Enough of the 70's...
Check these photos of wallpapers and murals out!
The wall I'm wanting to cover is in a spare bedroom - 3.4 mt (w) x 2,3 mt (h) clear of any windows or furniture.
The murals come in 3.8 x 2.7 seem standard size.
I like this one the best so far;
Any one had experience with murals able to give me some first hand knowledge would be great please. ♥

I like it, lets see how many guests we can get to walk into a wall trying to go stand on the balcany. Do they have one of a car crashing through a wall? lets see how many guests we can scare under the coffee table. lol

I have knockdown texture on my walls, so a mural is out of the question.........

The best way to work it out is to print a copy and then cover all four section,eg: top,bottom and sides(then move
each section in turn until you get the look you want),
That will give you the final view of how it will look.

Thanks guys, I've slept on it and decided it's the one I want too.
I rang the shop and spoke with the owner this morning. She a switched on lady with great passion and product knowledge... I enjoyed my chat with her. I'm going to meet her next week.
Kilroy, I asked her about the uv coating and she suggested we use Robertsons acrylic clear - gloss or matt paint over the paper to protect the mural for the best results.
I'm very excited to get this started. She did suggest a professional do the job!!
