Make your room look bigger with a mural

You have heard of all kinds of tricks to make a room look larger than it is. Put mirrors on one side of the wall. Paint everything a light color, maybe even white.

But if you are clever, you can make a room look larger with a mural that takes the view outside of the walls of your home or office. We used one in December that did so with ranges of mountains that fade a little with each successive range.

Here’s an idea that we got from working with a client in Savannah. A canopy of trees with Spanish moss over a road makes a wall look like it continues out in a lush, green pathway.

I’ve sung the praises of the photographers on unsplash.com and this is another opportunity to do so again. If it has been a while since you last took a look, pull up unsplash.com again and do some searching. There are thousands of splendid photos shot by skilled photographers that could be made into a mural perfect for that wall needing some attention.

These are photos free to use, but it would be nice to give the photographer some credit in the corner of your mural.

  "Skipper" Steve Morris has been sailing for more than 45 years. Whenever Skipper's sailor friends used to talk about their sailing adventures, it was not unusual for them to grab a chart, unroll it to a certain island or waterway, and tell a story of what happened during a particular voyage. As Skipper realized that nautical charts are used for navigating stories as well as passageways, the idea of nautical chart murals came naturally. What better place to tell a tale of the sea than in one's own home or office than with a beautiful nautical chart mural as the visual aid!

   In 2013, he moved to the Coeur d'Alene area of Northern Idaho with his wife Linda. When Skipper is not working on murals, you can find him sailing his Erickson 27' on Lake Coeur d’Alene.

   He continues to design custom-made wallpaper from nautical charts, satellite photos, topographical maps and favorite photos.
