Faded Mural as Background

When people think of a mural, they usually think of full color painting directly on the wall that demands first billing in the room. To an interior designer, a mural can be like that annoying theater major she knew in college, never content to be anything but the center of attention.

But the truth is, great murals can often be a great backdrop that allow other element to shine. Like the furnishing, accessories, drapes. This is most easily achieved by making the mural soft, muted and faded. Using only a two to five colors is a great way to go with this idea. Check back later, I will post some great photos that exemplify this concept.
