When a single image occupies an entire wall it adds a specific atmosphere to a room
My fondness for elaborately decorated walls – painted, stenciled, fabric-lined or papered — ranges from the crazy colors of Rome and Pompeii to the pastels and pastoral greens of 18th century Sweden and France, plus everything in between. Today, it takes a refined eye and keen design sense to produce a great accent wall, especially one based on a mural.
New York designer John Saladino produces masterful wall designs with amazing effects. And while his style is stately, each of his murals contributes both a sense of architecture and atmosphere to a room.
The mystery of a golden garden infuses and enriches a monochromatic dining room where there’s no rug and very little furniture in the relatively large space. While the table is round, it’s centered on the mural wall.
In an intimate sitting area adjacent to a garden, a grisaille mural with classical columns and arches enclosing landscapes acts as a pair of windows adjacent to an actual door.
