How Much are Painted Wall Murals?
Finding the Right Wall Decorations for You
An empty wall in your home is a blank canvas, and that’s good news. Whether you’ve chosen to arrange a collage of paintings in a hallway or carefully position a handful of wall-mounted sculptures in your dining room, there are a lot of options for beautifying your space with the antique and vintage wall decor and decorations available on 1stDibs.
If you’re seeking inspiration for your wall decor, we’ve got some ideas (and we can show you how to arrange wall art, too).
“I recommend leaving enough space above the piece of furniture to allow for usable workspace and to protect the art from other items damaging it,” says Susana Simonpietri, of Brooklyn home design studio Chango Co.
Hanging a single attention-grabbing large-scale print or poster over your bar or bar cart can prove intoxicating, but the maximalist approach of a salon-style hang, a practice rooted in 17th-century France, can help showcase works of various shapes, styles and sizes on a single wall or part of a wall.
If you’re planning on creating an accent wall — or just aiming to bring a variety of colors and textures into a bedroom — there is more than one way to decorate with wallpaper. Otherwise, don’t overlook what textiles can introduce to a space. A vintage tapestry can work wonders and will be easy to move when you’ve found that dream apartment in another borough.
Express your taste and personality with the right ornamental touch for the walls of your home or office — find a range of contemporary art, vintage photography, paintings and other wall decor and decorations on 1stDibs now.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The difference between a painting and a mural is that while painting is an artwork done with the use of paints on paper or canvas, a mural is an oversize painting, usually executed on a wall, ceiling or other surface that is considered permanent. Find a collection of antique and vintage paintings on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The best type of paint for murals is acrylic due to its lightfastness and weather resistance.

- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024What someone who paints walls is called depends on what services they perform. Someone who paints walls with solid colors and other simple decorative effects is a painter or house painter. An artist who paints scenes on walls is a muralist, while an artist who decorates walls in public places is a street artist. Find a large collection of art on 1stDibs.
