how to pick the right size and shape backsplash mural for your kitchen
Linda's Tips on how to pick the right size and shape backsplash mural for your space
As an artist and tile desinger the question I get asked the most, is "How do I pick the right size of tile mural for my space?"
Shape: The mural should be the same shape and orientation as your space. If your space is long and thin, you mural should be long and thin If your space is vertically oriented your mural should be the same orientation. Don't put a horizontal mural into a vertically oriented space.
The picture of my Vineyard mural (below) demonstrates this. The overall shape of the space and the mural is long and thin so it looks balanced and beautiful
Size:
The ideal size of the mural is da Vinci proportions which means the mural should take up four fifths of the space.
With murals you can never be too big, it looks great to fill the space completely.
It does not look good if the mural is too small. To help with sizing, you can cut out a piece of wrapping paper to the size you think the mural should be, tape it to the wall, then stand back and see if you like the ways it fits the space
