What wallpaper or mural should I add to my office?

10 years ago

I can add ANY custom wallpaper or mural to my office because I work at TotallyCustomWallpaper.com and they encourage me to add wallcoverings. So many choices! I want something on the wall that is image right, to the left of me when sitting at my desk. I thought of possibly also having a white brick pattern on the other walls, but that might make me feel more closed in with my smallish office. PS, the walls are a taupeish-beige, not green like this image looks...the fluorescent light made it look green.

Attached is a design I found online, it is between a mural and a wallpaper pattern. I am looking at it in different color combos. I like grays and blues. I like light turquoise too, but that is so done all the time...

Thanks in advance for ideas!

I would do some with more trees to mimic the outside.........does your company make something like that? I've seen it before for sure!

I totally agree go with something that has trees or a nice floral print. If you could find someone to paint a tree Like the white pic you posted on one wall and make that your focus in the office...that would be awesome.

I think your colors are restful so I would work with those and not pop a color. Maybe some interesting artwork that had some color in it, but I think you should go for a more elegant calm look. By the way, I like the chandelier you have with the fireplace. I think I would paint the lower part of your wall the same blue as is in the top part. Then I would add some black accents in glass and lamps. Curtains that have a sheen or gold thread would be nice.

Wow, I didn't expect so many responses, thank you so much for your time and ideas. I do know that the art is wrong but had to put something up from our last house while we settle in. I do find the fireplace a bit un-friendly and so I would consider changing the colour of it even just the border of it like one of the photos shows. I'm not keen on the small computer cabinet or the ladder shelving I have to admit. I was thinking more of putting 3 full width cherry wood shelves, bottom one being wider and desk height, changing the light fittings to down lights and maybe having a wallpaper or painted backdrop behind the shelves?? I realise I would have to get rid of or change the wallpaper on the other wall and change the curtains too. I take your point, many of you said it, about the curtains needing to fall straight, but I will need a wider pole to do that. Again many thanks, AnnaMarie ps we are in Ireland now but lived in australia for many years and that picture over the mantle is of an old aussie shed with moon light on it.

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

Thanks, mpoulsom. I can attach one later, we have done trees and could use any stock image I wanted. I love tree murals but I was afraid it would just be redundant to have vertical trees outside and vertical trees inside... Maybe I should rethink that...

I'm an outdoorsy kinda gal.............so I like to FEEL like I'm outside even when I'm not.....that's why my first instinct was to recommend that.
You can go a million different ways obviously! :)

Jacki, I'm not a fan of fake wallpaper depicting nature and most especially when I have a clear view from my very own window of nature at its best. One suggestion I'll make is to consider grasscloth. Since you work for a wall covering company and can choose whatever you want?, then I would not have to worry about the expense of the purchase or having it hung. There are so many varieties of grasscloths and weaves in an abundance of styles and colors, so you could have yourself a wonderful time choosing the best of the best! Good luck. I'm jealous. :)

The wall color is great, so I'd recommend you add some large, powerful photos. I do photography & have some to recommend if you're interested: People, landscapes, cityscapes, abstracts.

I agree that grass cloth wold be a beautiful compliment to the mural you already have out those picture windows of trees and forest.

What about an extreme closeup crop of a photo of your rattie dog across the whole wall, Jacki?

I have a friend who painted tree & light shadows on her living room walls opposite a window. Looks so real I had to keep blinking. And her walls were a similar green.

This being an office space I would go a bit formal and advice on geometric prints. Here are my suggestions for wall papers and wall art.

Keep it simple. Overdone patterns and colors can be distracting in an office setting. You have such a beautiful view! Add art instead.

I like the post above with the tree murals. Very nice. Mirrors what you see out those windows. Then paint a fun color. I like the way post color is. I would print a line green or a soft touquoise . Get samples try on wall. I would also move your desk to take advantage of your window view. Leave windows as is. Add some great art. Ikea has some. Black and whites big 40" just do tree mural on one wall like one opposite windows. Add a sunburst mirror to reflect outside. Float desk in room more. Furniture does not need to up against walls. Get a long console cabinet and put supplies and printers etc in that. Make room look more professional.

I agree w Travis interiors - turn desk to face beautiful view and possibly add a valance with a bit of color. I love the birch tree wallpaper - really fun - but if you want something a bit quieter grass cloth feels natural, comes in some great colors and would tie nicely with view.

Grass cloth is classy but a little traditional for me, especially working in a printing/creative environment. But I do see how it would match... But I'm thinking a little more eclectic.

I am using the color combo from what Thos. Baker suggested on the original art I picked. See attached. I will also get a very large image in front of me on the wall, I want something with gray and blue. The wallpaper is beside me...

I asked for my desk to be turned this way so I can greet people when they walk in and they can sit in the chair I have for visitors. And It also is too much light in front of my eyes for all day long.

I bought a few accessories, will show when it the paper is up!
