Living Room Murals
The wall behind the sofa is the most common home for a mural in the house — it's the backdrop to every gathering and the focal point the rest of the room gets arranged around. Applied Coverings prints every living room mural to your exact wall dimensions, including the wide walls and tall ceilings that make living rooms both the most rewarding and the most demanding room for a single-image design.
Mural styles that work well in living rooms
Nature and landscape — panoramic forest, mountain, or coastal scenes behind the sofa read as art and architecture at once, with no standard tile breaks or cropped edges.
Abstract and painterly — large-scale color-field or brushstroke murals add presence without requiring additional wall art, well suited to contemporary and transitional living rooms.
Botanical and floral — oversized leaf and floral compositions bring warmth and scale to a living room wall without needing the rest of the room designed around them.
Cityscape and skyline — a wide-format skyline mural suits lofts, media rooms, and living rooms with a more graphic, urban aesthetic.
Sizing a mural to your living room 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, including the wide walls and vaulted ceilings common in living rooms. Larger murals print in panels with a 1" overlap between each one, hung left to right in numbered order; an optional double-cut technique creates a tight, flush seam that's typically invisible at normal viewing distance. There's no maximum size — provide your exact dimensions and Applied Coverings produces accordingly.
