Cave Paintings to Wall Murals

Would you like wall murals from one of the masterpieces, something unique or one from your own collection of digital photos? Two ways to put one of these on your wall... First, you can purchase a mural in different mediums to put on your wall. Or second, you can paint one on yourself - no, really, not your toddler's wall doodling either! - or have one painted by someone else. You'd be amazed at how far cave paintings have come.

How to Make a Scene on Your Walls

You have various mural types. If you're brave, you can take palette in hand and go at it free-hand! Not all of us can do that. But most can do the "assisted versions."

Want Your Own Image on the Wall?

Did you color outside the lines as a child? Great! Then you want more flexibility than most places offer. Total flexibility comes with a challenge. But you're up to it, right?! You want to pick or design your own image. You want to paint it on the wall yourself. Then, take a look at these instructions and dream away!

Where to Buy

One of the great places to look is Murals Your Way. They offer over 5,000 mural images which you can preview in a "room setting" and you can customize the design of any of their images as well as use one of your own.

Another fun place to look for a mural is Wall Decor Shops. They give their website the look of small downtown shops - remember those where you have to slow down to 20 miles an hour?

Want to look locally for a mural? Go to Environmental Graphics and put your zip code in to get a list of local merchants.

What if you want a professional artist to paint a mural on your wall. If you have don't have anyone in your family who does that for a living - who does?! - then look for a local muralist at the International Directory of Decorative Painters.
