"Cityscape Mural" - YouthfulNest
Picture
Cityscape Mural: The inspiration for this accent wall’s mural was this bright pop art look of the NYC skyline. In keeping with the rooms grey & gold color theme I swapped out color for a monochromatic graphic look.

The process was rather detailed, but well worth it: first drawing out the buildings in a graphic design program (I used Illustrator); creating a grid on the digital file matching the wall specs; transferring each individual building onto the wall with a pencil; taping off each building in preparation for painting; and finally painting each building.

To keep on budget I narrowed the colors to only three of the small containers of paint samples that I had already purchased when deciding on the room’s wall color.

Looking for a simpler way to integrate a personally painted statement wall into a room? These two ideas bring the "WOW" factor without being "WOW, this is hard".
Two-Toned: This approach can be budget friendly, like the "Cityscape Mural" above, use old paint samples. The result is fresh, minimalistic and manages to look effortless, but charming. (via Nordic Design)
