Description
What colours are in this mural and will they work in my room?
The mural runs through burnt orange, deep red and warm gold, with a pale misty background. Orange and red read as energising rather than restful, so the design suits rooms used for gathering and conversation more than rooms meant for sleep. The soft background keeps the overall effect warm rather than overwhelming.
Will this mural still look good if my wall isn't huge?
The scene is composed with a long avenue of trees fading into fog, so it reads best on a wall you can stand back from and take in as a whole. A wall only glimpsed while passing through won't show off the depth, so a living room or dining room wall facing the room works better than a short passage wall.
Is this design too busy for a room with a lot of furniture?
The canopy is dense but the lower third of the scene, the misty field and tree trunks, is calmer, which gives furniture placed against it room to breathe. Keeping the furniture simple in front of this wall lets the autumn colour do the work rather than competing with it.
Which wall should I put this mural on?
It suits the wall you see first on entering a room, or the one the furniture is already arranged to face, since that is where a scene like this gets properly looked at. Putting it on a wall nobody faces directly means the detail in the foliage and mist goes unnoticed.
Will the colours hold up on a sunny wall?
Highveld daylight is bright and direct, and it will push the oranges and reds towards their fullest saturation rather than washing them out, so the mural should look even richer on a sunlit wall than it does on screen. Deeper tones like these also tend to hold their character longer under sustained sun than paler designs.
