The living room is where a mural makes the biggest impression. One feature wall behind the sofa or the TV is enough to set the mood for the whole space. Here are six styles that work, and how to choose between them.
1. Retro Wildflowers for a Cheerful Room
Colorful wildflowers on a warm beige background add energy without feeling loud. This style pairs well with wood furniture, rattan and linen, and suits family living rooms that get plenty of daylight.
2. Soft Tropical Leaves for Calm Modern Spaces
Tone on tone banana leaves and palms in beige or sage give a relaxed resort feeling. Because the colors are muted, they work with grey or cream sofas and keep a modern room calm. See more in our tropical collection.
3. Vintage Engravings for Character
Engraving style landscapes and animals drawn in fine lines bring the charm of an old print to a large wall. They suit classic and transitional interiors, libraries and reading corners.
4. Chinoiserie for an Elegant Feature Wall
Birds, peonies and blossoming branches in the chinoiserie tradition feel refined and timeless. Salmon pink, teal and gold backgrounds are bold choices that look stunning behind a neutral sofa. Browse chinoiserie murals.
5. Marble for a Luxurious Finish
A marble mural gives the look of a stone wall without the weight or cost. White marble with gold veins works well behind a TV unit or a fireplace and suits minimal and glam interiors alike.
6. World Maps for Travelers
A vintage world map is a conversation starter and fits living rooms, home offices and hallways. Blue and cream maps feel classic; sepia maps feel warm and rustic. See the world map collection.
Where to Put the Mural
- Behind the sofa: the most common choice, visible from the entrance.
- TV wall: choose calmer designs so the screen does not compete with the image. See TV wall murals.
- Fireplace or alcoves: a small area with a bold design makes a strong statement.
Large scale designs (big flowers, wide landscapes) suit big walls. On narrow walls, choose a pattern with smaller details so the image is not cut awkwardly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which wall should get the mural in a living room?
Usually the wall behind the sofa or the TV, because it is the first wall you see and the one the room is arranged around.
Does a dark mural make a living room look smaller?
A dark mural on one wall adds depth rather than shrinking the room, especially when the other walls stay light.
What mural works behind a TV?
Calmer designs such as misty landscapes, soft tropical leaves or marble, so the image frames the screen instead of competing with it.
