For wallpaper you'll never see anywhere else, do a mural.

If you want the instant cohesion, fun, and sophistication wallpaper brings to a room and you’re an art lover, maybe it’s time to jazz things up with a mural?!

A mural is a completely original version of wallpaper; it’s wallpaper and art in one.

Do a search for muralists in your area. Mary Stengel Bentley, Maggie Sanger, and Ellie Caudill are several in Nashville.

If the cost of doing a mural sounds too hefty for you, don’t rule it out; in some cases a mural can be much less expensive than doing wallpaper. Start by looking for artists from a nearby art school as up-and-coming artists are often particularly eager to knock it out of the park and ensure their earliest paying clients are happy customers!

You can even DIY it and grab a paintbrush and a fun paint color and go at it yourself.
