Custom Wall Murals – A Strong Communication Tool for Your Office

It was just two weeks ago, we were called in by Mr. Jacob from New York City for an assignment to create custom Wall Murals for his office. Jacob runs a training institute for air hostesses and flight stewards. We requested for some pictures of his existing office and had a detailed discussion with him regarding his business strategy.

The pictures we received were of a neatly laid out office, which could have been for any kind of business. It could have been a law firm, finance adivsor or a real estate agent. The office had no personality, to show that it was of a business which trained air hostesses and flight stewards.

After  almost 3 to 4 long discussions we presented Mr. Jacob with some radical wall decor design ideas for his office walls. We wanted to create the busy world of flying and show the galmour attached right within his office. So here are some of the pictures showing how our Custom Wallpaper and Modern Wallpaper concepts brought a radical change in the office decor.



A sky with clouds was added to the ceiling of the main administrative office. This easily Removable Wallpaper created the feeling of space and at the same time created the ambience as if we were out in the open skies.

Custom Wall Mural with the picture of the inside of a cockpit was added to one of the meeting rooms, where the admission counsel had a meeting with the prospective students and guided them about the career opportunity as a flight attendant and air hostess.

A side profile of a being with steps leading into the plane were used as a Wallpaper for Walls in the reception area.



Apart from this a map of USA, depicting the presence of this institute was prominently displayed in one of Directors cabin. In another executive cabin we used a World Map Wallpaper depicting various time zones. A photo mural showing the interior of passenger cabin was used in one of the lecture rooms and a view of the outside sky through the windows of the plane were used in the main conference room to create the aura of the inside of a plane.

The above pictures have affirmed our belief that Custom Wallpaper is not only for homes but if used with proper concepts and imagination Custom Wallpaper for Office can be a very strong communication tool for any kind of business. 



Modern Wallpaper ideas can be used to motivate the employees, impress prospective clients, show the organisations strengths, growth and corporate philosophy. The use of Custom Wallpaper in business and corporate world is restricted only by your imagination and creativity.


With the option of easily Removable Wallpaper and Peel and Stick Wallpaper, you can also go for quick changes in your office decor. This can be a very good advantage point to adapt your business decor to your overall marketing strategy and can be beneficial for each and every kind of business.

3 Quick Tips To Get Your Home Ready For Autumn

Hi friends, it is mid September now. It is really hard to believe, how fast the time flies. It seems as if just a few days ago we were discussing design ideas for summer. But there is one great thing about the change of seasons. You get to play with your interiors and adjust according to the changing seasons. So here are some of my favorite interior design tips to prepare for autumn.

1. Autumn is the right time to add snugness to your interiors. Through in soft rugs, adorn sofas and beds with heavy throws and add some blankets. They immediately add to the feeling of warmth in the rooms. What about those decorative runners or artificial fur blankets. Take them out, drop them randomly over coffee tables, sofas and dining table and see the feeling of smugness and warmth flow in.



2. Use decorative candles, what about those scented ones you have preserved so carefully. It is time to take them out. Candles with flickering soft light add to the warmth during cold weather. Scented candles with their sweet fragrane relax the mind and the whole body. Warm up in your favorite sofa with your favorite music or book (p.s. No texting on mobiles or gaming – it kills the mood).

3. Even after taking the above two steps, you are not satisfied, then here is my favorite tip for a quick change in the home decor. Browse through 3000 plus designs of Custom Wallpaper and Custom Wall Murals available online at Walls and Murals online wallpaper store. Select the one that will keep you cheerful during the coming winters, opt for Peel and StickWallpaper which is easy to install or if you want a quick change go for PVC Free Enviro Wallpaper which is not only environment friendly, easy to install but at the same time easily Removable Wallpaper.



These Custom Wallpapers have made my life easy as an interior designer, as choosing the right Modern Wallpaper or Landscape Wallpaper or Floral Wallpaper or Flower Wallpaper can really change the ambience of the whole house. These Wallpapers for Walls with ease of maintenance and DIY installation are the most effective home decor option as compared to many other products in the market.

Custom Wallpaper - Much More Cost Effective As Compared To Paint

It is a common mis-conception  that Wallpaper for Walls is a costlier option as compared to traditional painting of the walls. If you are using cheap quality paints kindly read the contents description carefully, as most of these paints contain lead and other harmful chemicals.

It has been proven that cheap quality paints release harmful chemicals into the environment over the years which effect your health and lead to some serious medical conditions, such as: asthma and lung cancer etc. Some chemicals in the paints are also knows to create skin allergies.

Now if you go for modern environment friendly paints, the harmful contents are reduced to a great extent, they are easy on your health but not on you pocket. Other than this, a painted wall requires re-painting after 2 to 3 years.

The whole task of sanding the surface, applying a primer base and then painting the surface is not only time consuming, but also requires skilled manpower. The process is not only time consuming, the whole house becomes messy due to fine sand particles that spread out due to sanding of the walls. Apart from this the paint fumes leave a strong odor in the home for a long time.



Now compare this to Custom Wallpaper. Today, you can Customize Wallpaper in many kinds of material. You can choose Peel and Stick Wallpaper for ease of application or easily Removable Wallpaper for a quick change later on. The application process is simple, so there is no need for skilled labour. Custom Wallpaper is easy to maintain as dust and spots can be easily removed with damp soft sponge.

The life of Custom Wallpaper is more than 10 years indoor. Now compare this with the life of paint, which is not more than 4 years. If we compare the cost for a complete span of the life of wallpaper, the cost of paints would be much higher.

Custom Wallpaper can also be chosen to be easily Removable Wallpaper, this leaves no trace of glue when uninstalled. Just clean the wall with a wet sponge after the removal of wallpaper and you are ready to go ahead with a new installation.


And now for the biggest advantage of Custom Wallpaper and Wall Murals Wallpaper, you can choose to Make Your Own Wallpaper.

Life of Peel and Stick Custom Wallpaper or a Custom Wall Mural

Custom Wallpaper has brought a fresh lease of life into the Wallpaper for Walls. The last decade had seen a downward trend in the demand for wallpapers as there was not much new being done in the segment. Designs were Floral Wallpaper, DamaskWallpaper or Vintage Wallpaper.

The younger generation was feeling a disconnect with the traditional wallpaper ideas. The development of digital printing technology changed the whole wallpaper segment. The demand for Custom Wallpaper and Custom Wall Murals has almost doubled in the last 12 months.

With the growth of CustomWallpaper, there is a lot of confusion over term: Peel and Stick Wallpaper



What actually is a Peel and Stick Wallpaper?

As the term is itself self explanatory, Peel and Stick Wallpaper is a digitally printed Custom Wallpaper which comes pre-gummed like a normal sticker. You just peel off the back paper and paste the wallpaper on the wall.
While this may sound very easy, it is not an easy task to handle a pre-gummed wallpaper, if you wish to apply it to a large area. Once pasted the paper cannot be moved and it becomes difficult to remove any crinkles or crease which may be formed at the time of installation.
Peel and Stick Wallpaper is a good idea, if your application is for a small area and can be handled easily, say 20 sq. ft.   to 40 sq. ft.
Peel and Stick Wallpaper can be a good choice, if you are going to install the wallpaper on a polished surface, i.e. glass or wood. Since you can spray water on the surface and move the peel and stick wallpaper easily for adjustment with the support of this layer of water molecules.



Can we re-use Peel and Stick Wallpaper?

Unfortunately, this is the most serious mis-conception about the product formulated by some unprofessional custom wallpaper sites and some unscrupulous traders in custom wallpaper.
NO, and it is a big no, you can not re-use Peel and Stick Wallpaper.
Logic 1 : The glue at the back would not be that strong.
Logic 2 : It would have some dust particles or paint/plaster particles attached to the back, when peeled, that the paper will become use less.
Logic 3 : And this is the strongest. How will you handle it? Remember, the original paper came with a peeling paper at the back which you peeled as you installed the paper.
Now, when you are taking off your pre-installed paper, what are you going to do to protect the glue area not messing up the whole large size wall panel into a crumpled mess you cannot even straighten up.



Is Peel and Stick Wallpaper easily removable wallpaper?

Technically speaking – NO. Peel and Stick Wallpaper cannot be an easily removable wallpaper, if you are concerned about the damage to the wall.
Peel and Stick Wallpaper would either leave some glue on the wall surface, which would be difficult to remove or on the other hand it will also peel off some of the paint when you are removing it.
We cannot hundred per cent deny the claim of some companies in this regard, but we at Walls and Murals would request you to verify such claims, before buying the product.
According to our technical experts, Easily Removable Wallpaper is an entirely different product from Peel and Stick Wallpaper.
In fact, we at Walls and Murals claim that if you handle carefully, you can re-use Easily Removable Wallpaper at least once more. We will explain about this product in our blog posts next week.
Meanwhile we would request our readers to share their experience about Peel and Stick Wallpaper, even if they have bought this product from other manufacturers, so that everyone can learn from the tall claims made by some of the Custom Wallpaper manufacturers.


Wackiest Reasons To Use Custom Wallpaper

In my long career as an interior designer, I have worked with many clients. Some are too involved in getting their home designed, others are too detached due to lack of time or maybe interest.

But ever since I started using Custom Wallpaper and CustomWall Murals in modern home decor, I have discovered a new set of clients who install Custom Wallpaper for very strange reasons. I don’t understand if their logic or reasoning makes sense, it is for you to find out.



Betty installed this Text Graphic Wallpaper of World, just to tick the places she visits. It is her bucket list to travel the whole world. Well it sounds logical.



Margaret installed this Ballerinas Painting Custom Wall Mural just outside her 6 year old daughters room, in the lobby, because she wishes her daughter to learn ballet dancing and this may arouse her interest. A hard logic to define.

Mark Trevor installed this Landscape Wallpaper with Mountains in the backdrop in his office cabin facing visitors with his back to it, because some fengshui expert advised him that mountains on his back will offer him support and strength in business meeting. Well what’s that???



Jayesh Patel installed this Golden Buddha Wallpaper in his office, facing him with his visitors having their back to it for a similarvaastu logic. An Indian vaastu expert told him to, because since it is golden in color, it is harbinger of wealth???



There are still wackier reasons for installation of Custom Wallpaper, but you will have to wait for that post. In the meanwhile find your own reason to install a beautiful Custom Wallpaper which come in easy to install options and some of them are Easily Removable Wallpapers.
