Your Wallpaper Mural Design Kit - Ideal for "Shut Ins"!

I know what you are thinking. I’m inside, avoiding the Covid-19 virus. I’ve caught up with my reading, my binge watching my favorite TV shows, and now I’d like to do something with my home to liven it up. Change the look in a big way. But I’m in a stay-at-home situation like the rest of the country. What can I do?

Well, how about turn yourself into your own interior designer and do a mural on that wall you’ve been staring at for the past several weeks? All you need is an interior design kit.

And here it is. A tape measure, some graph paper, and your smart phone. What? you don’t have graph paper?

Sure you do. Go to https://www.printablepaper.net/click2.php and print out that page for a couple of sheets.

Now that your kit is complete, here’s what you do.

1. Measure the height of your mural area on the wall, from the top of the baseboard to the bottom of the crown molding (or ceiling) Do this is two or three places and write down the largest of the measurements.

2. Measure the width of your mural area on the wall, from the highest point you can reach safely to an place in the middle of the wall and lower on the wall. Write down the largest of the measurements.

3. Using your graph paper, draw a rectangle of the mural area of your wall where one square equals 3 or 4 inches. The rectangle you arrive at is the exact height-to-width proportion of your mural.

4. Now look at your wall. If there is a window, mirror, doorway or some obstacle, draw it in to your rectangle so that it appears proportionately where it is located. If there is something of particular interest such as a town or geographic feature, mark that on your graph paper.

5. Now, what about the subject of your mural? If it is a nautical chart, click here and then choose the “Paper Chart” tab and zoom in until you find the chart you like. Write down the 5-digit number somewhere on your graph paper. If it is an idea of a photo, you can find a royalty-free photo from unsplash.com or if you have your own high definition photo, we can use that too.

6. With your smartphone, take a picture of your completed graph paper drawing and your art and text it to: 801-367-7945. That’s it!
