I've painted some very intricate murals, but sometimes a simple silhouette mural is exactly what's called for. In this case, less is more for a hallway that is dark with no direct light and only a single bulb light fixture. It's also quite narrow - only 3 feet wide in the area in front of the bedroom door and flaring out to 5 feet as nears the stair railing. If it were wider I'd say to hang artwork, but since it's that narrow, any paintings hung there would frequently get knocked into. That's why a mural works so well. Friday, May 28, 2010
