When it comes to creating a world for children there are a number of factors that we need to consider. Children love bright colours and shapes and with this in mind we need to think about the size of the mural, the colours and the detail. If the child is old enough we also need to consider their opinion. They may surprise you!

We would start with a brainstorming session where I will bring an ideas sheet (following initial contact), pictures, comics and books to the room so that we can begin to get an idea of how the final room will look. You may already have a room decorated and decide you want to take details from a border, curtains or duvet cover and create a mural to finish the room off.

Every person has a favourite cartoon character, theme or movie; therefore this needs to be our starting point for initial contact. You may want an abstract coloured swirl or a cowboy scene. You may want a six-foot mouse, a spaceship or the jungle for your child’s room. Any design is possible and I always to try to encourage parents to be as creative as possible without making a room too overwhelming for a child.

I always incorporate the childs name, date and time of birth into the mural wherever possible, just to make it a touch more personal. The paints I use are waterproof and non-toxic and are therefore ideal to be used around children and babies.

Big or small, complex or simple – Magical Murals by Robert Murray is the best way to bring your dreams to life.

I look forward to working with you.
