Traditional Mural Meets Contemporary Style!
I LOVE murals! I am partial to them because I use to be a muralist before transitioning into interior decorating. I know that murals seem to have fallen out of favor with those who want a more contemporary style in their home. However, you can still have your cake and eat it too, with murals! The mural should have historic or modern roots in order to have staying power. It has the ability to appear as a great antique being mixed into a modern setting. I chose Steven Gambrel's Room to show the mural mixing perfection. Maybe it's time for some mural amore!

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing talent to be able to paint murals! My favorite spot for them is in the Dining Room or Powder bath if it's big enough. This Steven Gambrel room is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI love murals too! They can be a great focal point when well done. Have you shared any of your work? Hope your week is off to a great start!

I have been oil painting these days and once in a while I post on Instagram, I hope to do a mural in my butlers pantry after the kitchen is done!
