Wall murals can visually increase the space in your kitchen with landscape designs that seem to stretch into forever or with an outdoor patio that beckons you to sit and enjoy. You can paint your own murals by projecting any image onto the wall, tracing the outline and filling it in with colorful acrylics. Does this Spark an idea?
Vineyard Landscape
Open up your kitchen visually with a vineyard landscape made up of rolling hills, covered with grape vines, that stretch into a distant mountain range. You can adjust the colors of your vineyard landscape to fit the color scheme in your kitchen based on the time of day reflected in the vineyard mural. For a softer palette, depict the landscape as if it were early morning with muted shades of blue along the horizon and misty fog along the tops of the vines. You could also embrace the vibrant colors of a sunset in the distance to complement a kitchen decorated in shades of red, orange or yellow. Midday in the vineyard can incorporate bright hues of green vines, blue skies and cobalt mountains, with our without snow.
Courtyard Patio
Enlarge a breakfast nook in your kitchen with a corner mural of a courtyard patio. Consider cobblestone pavers as the flooring for your patio with a white wrought iron table and chairs surrounded by a black wrought iron fence covered in flowering vines of wisteria and clematis. Add a mosaic fountain along one wall of the mural and place a small fountain in the center of your breakfast table to create the sound effects. You can also include images of your pets into the mural, like your cat curled up asleep beneath the wisteria or your dog stretched out alongside the table.
Farmyard
Add a farmyard mural to a country kitchen with green meadow pastures and horses in the distance, roosters and chickens pecking around the yard and a barn off to one side. Place colorful ceramic pots overflowing with herbs along the pathway to the barn and an old water well complete with a dipping bucket in the center of the yard. You could also run a line of fencing that runs from the barn, between the yard and the pastures. Decorate the side of the barn with images of old metal signs or hanging farm tools and remember to place a weather vane on top.
