I have a thing for photo art… it was what I went to college for and a long unused and missed talent. So when I ran across these DIY photo mural projects, I was really intrigued. What a cool way to make an instant statement in a room, and instead of just buying some nice pic that you like, you can totally make it your own. And make it huge! If you have a boring room that needs some oomph, these are the projects for you. Then I found a few mural art projects that also couldn’t be ignored, so I threw them in!
Our featured photo above is from a company called Customized Walls. You can upload your own photo and have them print a peel and stick fabric mural! Really cool idea!
From ‘Wit and Whistle’, Amanda created this DIY photo mural from smaller prints put together to make one large image… Totally transformed her husbands office!
‘The Band Wife’ made this amazing Snow Leopard Mural from engineering prints! I like how she gives great tips on how to hang this like walloper, including how to get the bubbles out. Wow!
This personalized wall photo mural by HGTV also uses engineering prints, and they show you some good tips on resizing the photos within a photo editing program.
‘The Granny Girls’ made a DIY photo mural for less than $50, and theirs is temporary, so it’s great for renters or those who don’t want to fully commit a whole wall. And they show you how to add a logo onto your mural!
Create a wall mural with an overhead projector, just like ‘Design Mom’ did for her teenage son! She did this for less than $20, with no art skills.
