Sea mural: which room to use

Seascapes
The simplest and easiest way is, of course, to paste marine murals on the walls, and it is precisely about them that will be discussed in this article. And, it would seem, what can I talk about? The sea is the sea, but one cannot disagree that the landscape of the tropical beach and the huge wave rushing through the vast expanses are two completely different subjects, each of which carries its own semantic and emotional load.
And since there is a difference in the perception of photo reproductions, then, accordingly, you will have to choose a wallpaper for each interior and purpose of the room. But first things first.
Open spaces
The most common photo wallpaper sea ocean, which shows a clear expanse of water with small ripples. Such wallpapers are suitable for any interior, and you can use them in every room of the apartment. But not only versatility can be considered a hallmark of such prints, it is equally important that they visually expand the space both horizontally and vertically.
It should be noted that photowall-paper with the image of the open sea, are great for a children's room. Here they will set the child up for positive thinking and even contribute to healthy sleep.
Storm and waves
Here, the storyline is somewhat different from a simple and calm sea, so just list a number of nuances that need to be taken into account wall mural ocean sea in a storm.
- A storm at sea is a rather emotional image, so you should not use it in a nursery.
- As a rule, such images have mostly dark shades, so you should not glue such wallpapers in an interior saturated with paints.
- With low ceilings in the room, it is advisable to use paintings with high waves, they will visually increase the height of the room.
- Due to the possible predominance of dark tones on the wallpaper, it is desirable to use a hidden LED backlight, it will dilute the gloom of the image.
Important! In no case can LEDs of different colors be used with photo wallpaper, they can refract the spectrum and completely change the image. As a result, perception also changes.
Sunset at sea
Sunset is a spectacular phenomenon in itself, even in the city, let alone the sea, which in the rays of the setting sun turns yellow and red. It is unlikely that such a view can leave anyone indifferent.
But here there are several secrets to use:
- Sunset at sea is the perfect print for a bedroom or a nursery. Wall mural will set in a positive mood and will contribute to healthy sleep and easy awakening.
- Hidden LED backlighting is able to give photos with sunset realism.
- Similar paintings visually expand the space, so they can and should even be used in rooms with a small area.
- The lower the sun has fallen over the horizon on the photo wallpaper, the darker the colors will be, and therefore it is better to avoid such drawings in the living room, but the bedroom will do just fine for them.
- Since a sunset photograph is very difficult to distinguish from a sunrise photograph, it’s better to choose something average, then the picture will create the right background at any time of the day.
Tropical beach
A tropical beach is the place that most people dream of, especially those who live permanently in cold latitudes. Holidays at sea is associated with heavenly enjoyment, and apparently this is the reason for such a desire to use the sea beach wall murals in the interior.
- The bedroom is the best place for sticking such photo wallpaper (see How the interior of the bedroom and the wallpaper are connected) This will contribute to the emotional background of those who are often in this room.
- Often you can find murals not only with the image of a sandy coastal zone, but also with an abundance of other objects, such as palm trees, mountains and the like. Such wallpapers are better not to use in small rooms, as they will overload the interior and will put pressure on your eyesight.
- The higher the palm trees in the image, the more they will visually raise the ceiling.
- Wall mural with the image of the beach is perfect for the kitchen.
Important! The instructions for gluing wallpapers in the kitchen are slightly different from how they are done in other rooms, so before you start gluing yourself without the appropriate experience, it is advisable to read several relevant articles on the Internet, or watch a training video.
The sea and not only
As we said at the beginning of the article, seascapes can be very diverse, and this is not necessarily a pure expanse of water or a beach with palm trees. There may be many objects on the sea, most of which are fanned with a certain halo of romance.
The difficulty lies in the fact that wallpaper with some objects is much more difficult to fit into a ready-made interior, since they can contradict the general concept and clearly stand out, and not always in a good way. Next, we will describe some of the most popular marine species using any attributes.
House on the shore
A bungalow on the shores of the warm ocean is a pipe dream for many. Of course, we all go on vacation to warm countries and often stay in such houses, but we would like to live there permanently. It is this goal and the wall mural view from the terrace of the sea is pursued. They will allow you to feel yourself somewhere far away in warm countries, even if there is snow and a blizzard outside the window.
The uniqueness of such species lies in the fact that they can be used without any fear that they will not fit into the interior. Wall mural terrace overlooking the sea equally organically fit both in the bedroom and in the kitchen, and it does not matter what style is used in the interior.
Well, in order to make the wallpaper look more organically, choosing a place for them in the apartment, you should be guided by several simple rules:
- Since the murals with a veranda overlooking the sea are designed to imitate a real window, you should not use them on the wall along which the furniture is already standing. It is much better to give them a whole wall, well, or its free fragment.
- Truly realistic wallpapers are distinguished by a high price, but in any case it will be less than the cost of a bungalow on the sea coast, so to achieve the corresponding effect, you should not save and choose cheaper material. They will bring nothing but disappointment from the poor appearance.
- Wall murals with views of the terrace or veranda are ideal for small rooms, as they can significantly expand the space.
Ships and yachts
What a sea without a ship plowing it, especially in resort areas, which are replete with all kinds of yachts. The use of such wallpapers can not only decorate the interior with a beautiful view, but also emphasize the inner world and the preferences of the owners, because the ships can be very different.
For example, an old sailboat will take you to an age of discovery and adventure. Such wallpapers will constantly paint before your eyes pictures of the great naval battles and pirate raids.
If, on the contrary, hunting is something more calm, then the look of a snow-white sailing yacht peacefully swaying on the azure waves is perfect. Looking at such a print will always be calm and serene in the soul.
But not only large ships can become a subject for printing on wallpaper, for example, in a small room a simple boat with oars or a small sail will look much more harmonious.
The boat can be both in the middle of the sea, and moored on the shore, it all depends on personal preferences.
Advice! Do not use images of ships on decks, which are attended by a large number of people. With such wallpaper in the room there will always be a sense of presence and some discomfort.
Promenade
If you move a little away from the romance of tropical beaches and uninhabited islands, you can see the sea from its slightly different side, namely from the city embankment. As a rule, resort towns on the coast have very beautiful and well-groomed embankments, and the most interesting is that it does not have to be a distant country, there are no less such Rivieres on the Black Sea coast.
Wall murals with a view of the embankment successfully combine the romance of the sea and the city, there may be burning lanterns in the sunset, or people walking peacefully.
Also often used are prints depicting a coastal cafe. These wallpapers are ideal for the living room, as they will constantly create a sense of presence, and to achieve full authenticity, you can glue them in the kitchen, in the dining area. This technique allows not only to expand the space of the kitchen, which is constantly lacking, but also to set the right emotional mood for everyone present.
Advice! You should not use such wallpaper in the bedroom, as this will contradict the originality and authenticity, but if the desire to see the embankment in the room is very great, then it will be much better and more correct to make some kind of mural with photowall-paper.
Berth
Another very popular print is the image of a berth distant or going into the distance. Here, too, there is a place where fantasies can take a walk, as the berths can be very different, for example, a modern, concrete pier, looking at which one gets the impression that a snow-white yacht has just departed from it.
It can also be a wooden pier with handrails, which is especially nice to sit in the evening, admiring the setting sun, and with such photo wallpaper you will have such an opportunity every day.
Such wallpapers are especially popular among owners of small apartments, since they visually lengthen the room due to the fact that the berths of the pier seem to go into the distance, and this creates a certain visual illusion.
View from the window
The use of photo wallpaper in the interior is often complicated by the fact that in a city apartment it is very difficult to separate a separate wall for them. In this case, a view from the window on the sea will come to the rescue.
Firstly, they do not have to occupy a whole wall, it’s enough to just select a small area on which that window will be located.Another very important nuance of such wallpapers is that they can depict anything you want, and it will not dissonant with the general concept of the interior.
The most important thing in using such wallpapers is to achieve the correct effect, and for this you need a printed window with a sea view to be combined in appearance with other windows in the room. But thanks to the huge selection presented in stores today, it will not be so difficult to do this.
Well, as a last resort, you can always contact a company engaged in large format printing, and they will make the print that you need.
To summarize
As you can see, marine wall murals can be very diverse, and you can pick them up for any interior just starting from personal preferences. The main thing is not to overdo it with naturalness, since there is a very thin line between style and tasteless, which is sometimes so difficult to catch.
