In the colorful world of interior design, nature-inspired mural wallpapers are currently a testament to the ever-evolving trends entering our homes. Lately, I’ve noticed that murals are often at the forefront of many of my recently saved spaces. And while they’re a little on-trend right now, their appeal to me lies in their rich historical tapestry, which helps give it a completely timeless feel. It’s always that fusion of now and before forever that makes my heart sing.
I feel there are a few key ways to ensure your mural stands the test of time, though. Consider choosing muted shades, for example. I find this helps avoid any overpowering effects. In my opinion, muted tones have a much better chance of overcoming passing trends.
Additionally, incorporating natural and organic elements into your mural really adds to the soothing ambiance. I noticed that it was often (not always, of course) a quiet/quiet space that lasts.

And finally, try to choose wallpaper that combines both warm and cool colors. Color temperature preferences tend to flip from cool (everyone remember millennial gray?) to warm (hello, our current camel/brown/burgundy phase!) every decade. I find that mixing both in the space covers you regardless of the temperature modern.
Check out a few of the spaces I love – all of which absolutely nailed the mural wallpaper trend. They not only reflect current design sensibilities, but also enduring beauty. For lasting impact, always let history (and nature!) guide your design choices.
