What is a wall mural?

When you’re looking to refresh a room with minimal effort, mural wallpaper is a top way to do it. Unsure what the difference is between wallpaper and a wall mural? No problem – it’s all about the print! Whereas a traditional wallpaper typically features a repetitive design, a wall mural shows one large image. Although you can create a feature wall with wallpaper, it’s typically used to redecorate all four walls in a room. On the other hand, a wall mural is designed to enhance an interior by accenting only one wall.
