Nursery Design Ideas

Sky Mural

A Sky Mural with clouds and kites and butterflies. Mix just a hint of purple gray into the underside of the clouds. Practice your fluffy cloud technique a few times before starting in earnest.

Landscape Mural

A Landscape Mural with purple mountains and a rainbow. (Tip: First draw the
shape of the rainbow then paint the area white. When you add the rainbow
colors they will really pop.)

Beach and Ocean Mural

Have ocean animals sunbathing and playing on the beach. Paint tall palm trees on both sides (Tip: Your horizon line--where the ocean meets the sky--should be between 4'-6" and 5' high on the wall.)

Sunset Beach Mural

This is effective if you have a wall without windows or doors. Frame your sunset with silhouettes of palm trees. Find a good reference photo before you start. (Tip: For silhouettes use a muted purple instead of black.)

Under Water Seascape Mural

An Underwater Seascape Mural with dolphins and fancy colored fish. If you are good at blending colors on the wall (not for beginners) start with aqua-marine
blue at floor level and gradually change the color as you go up the wall so that it's a light teal (blue green) at the ceiling. The color at the top of the wall should also
be somewhat lighter then at the bottom.

Garden Mural

A Garden Mural with lots of flowers and a gazebo. Hide some animals in the
foliage. Put a tall tree on one side.
