Step 2-Planning -Do you want the whole room to be in theme.Paint every wall including the ceiling. -Do you want to create a focal wall mural.You can focus the mural around your child's bed or play area. -On paper do a mock furniture layout for your child's room.Play around with the placement.Try different places for the bed etc..It is easier to move the bed on the paper then in the actual room. Remember to completely measure your child's room,then measure each piece of furniture.Out of paper cut mock furniture pieces so you can easily move them around for proper placement. -After you have figured out the furniture placement, now it is time to chose where the focal point of the room will be.Will you have your child's bed be the main focal point of the room,or a play area,or use the largest wall in the room.

Step 3-Chose a focal point -Now that your have laid out your furniture placement.You are ready to chose the focal point of the room. Most often it will be your child's bed,but wherever you chose for the focal point place the "Easy Stick Children's Mural" there. It is easy to create an instant focal point.
Step 4-How to Create A Mural -Depending on what children's mural theme you chose you have many different options.If you chose our farmyard, princess, pirate, garden mural pieces you will probably want to paint the whole room a sky blue including the ceiling. When you paint the ceiling a color it makes the room feel more cozy and comforting. If you think the color would be to strong purchase the same color paint but a few shades lighter. |
