Which motifs for living room murals are trendy?

That cannot be answered in general, since there are usually different parallel directions, but flowers are definitely there. Whether a wide variety of colorful flowers in a bouquet or in the meadow or a monochrome collection of flowers of the same variety - many things are possible and invite you to look at them.

Dandelions, poppies, sunflowers? What color fits in well and corresponds to your preferences? Some colors appear warm and others appear cool. The red of the poppy, for example, is associated with joie de vivre and with an increase in attention and a new dynamic. The yellow of the sunflower, on the other hand, is used to brighten the mood, it increases vitality and strength. The green of plants is often associated with growth and balance, but also with the power that comes from nature.

Just like different colors, different motifs have different effects. For example, some motifs seem relaxing and others are just full of tension.

Murals for the living room in gigantic formats

XXL formats clearly ensure the wow effect in your home. If you want to make a lasting impression on your guests or would like to dream yourself into other worlds, this is most easily achieved with the XXL murals . The motifs are impressive and an eye-catcher - not only for visitors.

In any case, the murals should underline your individuality. In combination with your existing pieces of furniture, which in the best case also underline your personality, a coherent overall concept is created.

Furnishing tip: hang up modern collages

Collages made from murals are also very popular at the moment. Square or multi-piece, colorful or black and white, a mix of styles or a classic selection – there are few limits to your imagination. Nevertheless, there are a few tips that influence the result:

• Smaller formats are a good choice for modern collages and an arrangement from these is easy to implement.

• Collages can be arranged on the floor beforehand and rearranged until you like the result and create the effect you want. Sorting the favorites can already be a lot of fun.

• The distance between the different parts of the image can be varied and you can also experiment with different distances. Of course, the available space on the wall also plays a role. In general, however, an even distance of 2 centimeters is perceived as harmonious, and it is precisely this perceived harmony that can also be played with.

Frame or canvas - what should it be?

Regardless of the motifs chosen, a fundamental question arises: Does the motif belong in a frame or is a canvas more harmonious? Posters in a frame are classics in the living room. But they are also used in the bedroom or in the children's room. Here it is important to pay attention to a coherent framework that also survives the annually changing trend. Light oak wood is a classic for such a frame and has a subtle effect.

On the other hand , plastic frames in bright colors or black are more contrasting. With colorful frames, it is important to ensure that they provide support for the picture, but do not overpower it or even make it disappear if the frame is in the foreground.

A canvas, on the other hand, has a very natural effect. Since we are particularly impressed by this effect, we also use canvas and apply printed images to it. The resulting effect is very natural and the effect is much lighter. Especially with large pictures, an additional frame would bring additional weight that should not be underestimated. A canvas picture is much more informal and usually achieves remarkable effects even with little paint.

Tips for your canvas paintings

Are you a fan of landscape paintings? Or are holiday or family pictures among your favorites? Then give exactly this one place on your walls. Photo albums are rarely dug out, but immortalizing selected motifs on canvas makes a difference. The selected motifs can be printed after they have been transmitted online. But before you start looking for your perfect motif, read through the additional tips.

motive

Canvas prints can be made from landscape motifs and buildings or things also come into their own on them. Motifs can even be reminiscent of paintings in this case. This effect can be intensified by using certain filters. Portrait shots can also be taken in this way, although some of the photo sharpness is lost when printing on canvas. Details can disappear in this way, which is why they should not have any importance in the selected images.

background

The background that matches the picture can still be created if it is not already available. If you like it more comfortable, you can of course leave a white wall as the background. But more interesting effects can be achieved with a colored wall in the background , which takes up the color of the picture and gives it a larger-scale effect.

Can't find the same tone? This isn't a drama either, since relying on contrasts in particular can produce the desired wow effect. For example, a bright landscape can be particularly impressive on a dark-colored wall. Are completely dark walls too dark for you? Then an alternative would be to delete a narrower section or a line, which of course also keeps the amount of work within limits and still looks good.

symmetry

The human eye perceives symmetry as beautiful, which is why it is advisable to take advantage of it - or, on the other hand, to consciously violate it. If you choose the symmetrical way, then rely on consistent formats with several coherent motifs. Their arrangement should also take place with due regard to symmetry and lead to an evenly acting arrangement.

Orderly chaos

An opposite effect can also be used. Known as the "Petersburger Hängung", images of the same format are placed side by side in a chaotic manner. Chaos is the goal, but this should also lead to a coherent overall picture, otherwise there will be unrest. It is therefore advisable, particularly when aiming to create an orderly chaos, to move the pictures around on the floor until each has found its place and the viewer is completely satisfied with the result.

FAQ

Further questions on the topic of screens and living rooms are answered below.

Which picture for the living room?
