Murals Instead Of Wallpaper - What's That All About?

Tweet

I have said many times that I like prints and my idea of fun would be to collect a few - but not too many as it can get out of hand lol. Now, murals are designed to cover a huge expanse of wall at the fraction of the cost of wallpapering. The thing is, if a mural isn't put on right 1) It will start to annoy a lot quicker than a wallpaper or paint job would and 2) Your partner will delight in telling you (often) 'What a waste of money!' Also, you wouldn't be able to put any pictures up as they'd all clash with the mural! I can't see the attraction of them myself. I can't be doing with those twigs and bits of metal you can fix onto walls as well. Unless you're an artist with bits of er..bits lying around why would you go out and BUY a twig for the wall? I don't get it. Please feel free to read the description VERY CAREFULLY of a mural I was looking at. It's on a very pretentious site called ACHICA (members only no less but free), a site with lots and lots of things we don't need..like hammocks. I mean, where would I put a hammock? [i]Product Information Add some colour and inspiration to your home with this stunning Iconic London wallpaper mural. 1 Wall’s high quality wall murals are made from durable wallpaper and come with full hanging instructions.

Product Code LONDON-A-004 [/i] Now, there are problems I have with the above description. For starters, it says it is 'presented in four easy to hang pieces' and the dimensions are not THAT massive really. I mean, the photograph I saw had the mural covering the whole wall. It would take some feat to do that in here I tell you. Notice the words 'trim the tops and sides without any loss to the main image.' Yeh, right, not in this house! How much is the one in the photograph? £29.00. A bargain when you consider it's a penny off £60 normally. However, why can't they be made as one panel, rather like a massive poster? Perhaps posters only go up to a certain size. Yeh, that must be it! God, I hope there isn't a 'Keep Calm & Carry On' Mural. That would be my idea of Hell to have one of those or ANYTHING with 'Keep Calm..' on it. Whoever is responsible for all that 'Keep Calm..' tat, please STOP IT!
