Not having one when you already live there. If it’s on your wall and put the window, you either need to throw out the print or move somewhere else.

That ceiling makes everything look cheap. And the mural is enormous an just a random picture of a city taken from the internet

Good looking murals are a rarity. I can’t remember one mural that made me want one in my home. Doesn’t mean they’re not out there, I just haven’t seen a good one.

Murals are like art – should not be literal but suggestive. The texture of the paper really matters to me. Also – don’t just put in on the wall. The paint colors around it need to coordinate too so it seems seamless not stuck on.

Put hundreds of tiny lights in the windows of the highrises that turn on with the room light is off.

Are you located in Montréal with a Montréal mural? Like “this room has no windows but we’ll pretend it does with this mural”? Or is this just a random Montréal picture in an office in another city? I’m curious

hyper realistic is not great. that’s not a mural, that’s just a picture of a city

There are plenty of details about the mural itself that are important but the largest impact comes from how it meets the ceiling, the molding, the other walls etc…. Is it seamless with the rest of the connecting space. If it’s not it looks cheap af.

Well first, make sure your home isn’t already decorated like an office.

The floating ceiling makes this look like an office building. Also the mural just finally isn’t all that nice, cityscapes tend to look more artsy with nighttime shots. Montreal being no exception to this.

I’d say many things. The type of picture/art you choose. The roof looks like an old public building doesn’t help. I’d see if you can cover it. And improve the lighting. Of the room to be a tad bit warmer and less harsh. You might add light specifically for The mural as well to highlight it. And remove the dark shades corners.

As a child of 70-80’s, you will regret this. They were very popular back then for a short time and every spent the rest of the late 80’s trying to get them off.
