  • Make sure to clean your wall before getting started. You don’t want all your hard work to be for naught.
  • The pros make sure to gather all the necessary supplies before getting started.
  • Choose your project carefully. Not all mural projects are created equal and some might just be too difficult for inexperienced muralists. Make sure you don’t bite off more than you can accomplish with your skills and budget.
  • Even accomplished muralists use some technique to transfer their image onto the wall. Your two options are the grid method or using a projector. The grid method is more challenging and involves creating a grid on the wall and a grid on your image, which is used as a guide to freehand your image on the wall. The projector method is much simpler and a better choice for beginners. Projectors can be expensive to purchase, so your best bet is to try and borrow one. With this method, you can can use any type of projector to project your image onto the wall and trace the outline in pencil.
  • Besides painting, there are some other ways to create murals. For example, using creating an image using over-sized photo printing and creating a repeating pattern from washi tape are two alternative wall art ideas.
  • Finally, sometimes you don’t actually need to do the work of a mural to get the look of one. Consider using wall decals, which you can purchase at many do-it-yourself stores, on Etsy and from other online shops.
