Murals: From Simple Accents to Complex Artistic Masterpieces
Abstract
In modern interior design, wall murals have taken on a new meaning — they are no longer just decorations, but an emotional language of space. Murals bring individuality and depth, highlight the character of a room, and create a memorable “architectural accent.”
They go beyond decorative details to become living art — from minimalist graphic accents that can transform an interior in a single day to highly detailed photorealistic compositions that require careful preparation and time, but deliver maximum visual impact.
