Home Office Murals
The wall behind your desk is on every video call, every day — which makes it one of the most considered mural placements in the house. Applied Coverings prints every home office mural to your exact wall dimensions, so the design fills the wall as intended without visible seams at eye level during calls.
Mural styles that work well in home offices
Nature and landscape — a forest scene, mountain panorama, or botanical composition behind the desk provides calming visual stimulus without the distraction of a busy repeating pattern.
Abstract and painterly — a color-field or brushstroke mural functions like a piece of original art on camera, suited to creative fields.
Cityscape and skyline — a skyline mural signals a modern, professional backdrop for calls.
Textured and minimalist — a subtle abstract or textured composition keeps the background composed rather than busy on video.
Sizing a mural to your home office wall
Because a mural is a single image rather than a repeating pattern, Applied Coverings scales your chosen design — or an uploaded photo — to the exact width and height of your wall, positioned so the composition reads cleanly at eye level during video calls. Larger murals print in panels with a 1" overlap between each one, hung left to right in numbered order, positioned away from eye level where possible; an optional double-cut technique creates a tight, flush seam that's typically invisible at normal viewing distance.

Frequently asked questions about home office wall murals
Will a mural look good on video calls?
Yes, when sized correctly. Applied Coverings scales the design to your exact wall dimensions, and an optional double-cut seam keeps the panel joins tight and unobtrusive, so the mural reads as a clean, intentional backdrop on camera rather than a busy or cropped pattern.
Can I upload my own photo for a home office mural?
Yes. Applied Coverings' custom upload tool accepts high-resolution JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files. Enter your wall dimensions and we scale and print your photo as a single image.
What's the best material for a home office mural?
Peel & Stick Canvas works well for most home offices and is removable if you rent. Suede Type II Vinyl or Terralon Smooth Type II are better suited to shared or corporate offices that need commercial-grade durability.
How long does a home office mural take to install?
A standard accent wall takes 2–4 hours to install professionally. Applied Coverings offers installation services in San Jose, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
