Whether you live in an industrial conversion or simply want to channel a heritage aesthetic, original wall murals offer an impressive way to entirely transform a space without renovating.
From brick walls to entire roomscapes, the latest photorealistic designs can transport you to a different time and place. But if space, or creative courage, is limited, a vintage look is just as readily achievable with carefully chosen prints and charts. We share five of our favourites. You’ll want to save these papers.
