I’m nonetheless engaged on ending up the adjustments that I’m making in the lounge and entryway now that the brand new floral wall mural is up on the entryway wall. The adjustments I’m making in the lounge are minor. I’m relocating the chook footage that was on the entryway wall to a different wall in the lounge, after which I would like to complete up the repairs on the wall mural the place I had minimize the holes for the wall sconce wires. And eventually, I nonetheless have to resolve on desk lamps. I’ve been looking, however to date, I haven’t decided.
Within the meantime, I’ve been questioning if there’s a spot the place I can use the remainder of the mural in the home. The choices are fairly restricted, and in reality, I can solely consider one spot the place they’ll work.
To overview, the mural I purchased is about 20 toes extensive and 10 toes tall. It’s this Paradise Tropical Floral wall mural from Anthropologie (affiliate hyperlink). I purchased it some time again when it was on sale, and on the time, I had no thought what I used to be going to do with it, however I knew I wished it. 😀
I used the majority of it on the entryway wall. I completely love how this remodeled this wall in the lounge, and I’m nonetheless working via all the particulars of how I wish to end up this wall. The entire gadgets on prime of the console desk are simply stand ins in order that I might mess around with completely different preparations.
However I’m left with just below seven toes of this mural that didn’t match on this wall. That is the portion that was left over. I do know it doesn’t appear to be it’s nearly seven toes extensive from this image, however that’s as a result of the mural is 10 toes excessive. However every part is 27 inches extensive, and I’ve three entire sections left over.

The entire thing is so fairly, so I actually don’t need this to go to waste. I’d like to discover a place to make use of it. The issue is that I’ve run out of wall area. I’ve simply completed up our master suite suite, so clearly there’s no area in there for a wall mural. There’s no area within the music room or front room for it. The kitchen is out of the query. And my studio is all completed, and even when I had wall area for it within the studio, it doesn’t go together with the decor anyway.
The one room the place this mural might go is in our breakfast room. That room is ready up as a sitting room for now, however I do wish to change it again to a breakfast room (actually, a eating room) within the very close to future. However for now, it appears to be like like this…sort of.

I say “sort of” as a result of over the past 12 months, I’ve poached loads of gadgets from this room to make use of in different areas of the home. The curtains are actually in my walk-in closet. One of many benches and a few the pillows are in our bed room suite lobby. The “fruit of the spirit” art work is now in my walk-in closet. So this room is now in want of a makeover, and this makeover was on my checklist of Home Targets for 2026.
One possibility is to make use of the leftover mural in two sections and body them to flank the pantry doorways. I don’t have sufficient to cowl all the wall, but when I take advantage of it in two sections inside image body molding, I’ve sufficient for that. Every wall part is 53 inches extensive, and I’ve sufficient mural to cowl 40.5 inches on both sides of the pantry door. I might apply the mural on to the wall like wallpaper, or I might use them as framed art work that hangs on the wall. Proper now, the one issues left on these partitions now are the 2 black sconces, however I plan to take these down.

The one downside is that I don’t love the mural with the tile within the pantry. However I’ve been enthusiastic about changing that tile anyway, so I gained’t let that tile cease me from doing what I wish to do within the breakfast room.
Another choice is that I might apply it to the larger wall within the breakfast room. In fact, that will imply taking down my image ledge cabinets.

It will should be inside image body molding on this wall as properly as a result of this wall is 98 inches extensive, and I solely have 81 inches of mural left over.
I’m nonetheless pondering via it. Clearly, I haven’t selected something but. And perhaps it’s an excessive amount of to have the mural on the entryway wall, after which extra mural within the breakfast room. You may inform me what you assume. Is it an excessive amount of? I simply hate to lose nearly seven toes of this attractive mural. And since I’ve poached a lot from the breakfast room to make use of elsewhere in the home, I’ll principally be beginning over within the breakfast room anyway.
I don’t know after I’ll really begin on the breakfast room, nevertheless it’s on my checklist for this 12 months, so I do spend loads of time enthusiastic about it and planning. I’ve been at an entire loss for what to do on these partitions flanking the pantry doorways. I’ve thought of including full-wall storage, however I actually don’t want it. I’ve thought of utilizing slender matching buffets on both aspect with art work above, however once more, I don’t actually need or want so as to add extra storage, so I feel that will simply look busy and make the room really feel smaller. I sort of like the thought of including the mural framed as art work, after which utilizing that space for additional eating chairs or one thing like that.
However once more, earlier than I get too far into this line of pondering, you possibly can let me know if you happen to assume including extra of this wall mural is an excessive amount of. I don’t need it to go to waste, however on the identical time, I don’t wish to use it if it’s going to really feel like I added it simply because I couldn’t carry myself to let it go. I can’t resolve if it’s going to make the rooms look cohesive, or if it’s going to appear to be I simply had scraps that I wished to make use of. 😀
UPDATE: That small picture of the leftover wall mural actually doesn’t do it justice. It appears to be like actually slender and washed out. So I unrolled the items on my studio worktables and took footage of the particular mural so you can get a greater thought of the scale and the colours. It’s not solely massive, nevertheless it’s really fairly colourful as properly. Listed here are just a few footage of the particular factor so you will get a greater thought of the scale and colours. For scale, my worktables are 10 toes extensive, and the mural wall in my studio is nineteen.5 toes extensive.
