So you are thinking of having a mural installed or
painted in your child's room? What a perfect addition to your little
one's room. A mural is a beautiful gift to give to any child. I have a
mural in each of my 3 children's bedrooms and I can't tell you how much
joy it has brought to them over the years. If you could only see the
look on little kids' eyes when they see my children's rooms. There are
several options open for you online. Lets take a look:

CANVAS

Canvas is my favorite option. The muralist can work off
premises and paint a beautiful custom mural without ever entering your
home. The best part is that the mural can be removed and saved for
other children in your family or to take with you when you move. The
mural can be adhered to your wall with heavy wallpaper paste, and once
attached to the wall it appears as if it was painted directly on the
wall surface. Here is one artist who paints on canvas:

AllKidsMurals.com - http://www.allkidsmurals.com/ - All Kids Murals specializes in custom child murals, and starting at $500 per wall, this is the cheapest around.

PAINT BY NUMBER MURALS AND KITS

There are kits available that allow you to be the artist.
The detail level of a custom painted mural is not available but there
are some nice designs that I think your child will love:

- Each mural comes with a color guide and acrylic paint, so you don’t
have to worry about getting the colors right. You can be sure your
mural will look just like the ones you see here.

WALLPAPER

Wallpaper is the most inexpensive option, but it is also
the least creative. However, there are some options out there that are
pretty nice. Take a look at the below sites:

USA Wallpaper - http://www.usawallpaper.com/wallcoverings.html - Their collection of wallpaper murals includes windows, boats, port holes, dolphins, dinosaurs and much more!

Internet Wallpaper Store - http://www.wallpaperstore.com/Murals.htm - A selection of over 200 murals.

MURALISTS IN YOUR AREA

If you would prefer to have a custom mural painted
directly on your wall, you would be better off with a local artist. You
can look for a local artist in many ways via the internet.

1. Search Engines - Search engines, especially
Google.com, do a search for 'muralists NJ' or whatever state you live
in. You might also try searches like - 'kids murals NJ', 'Children's
murals NJ', etc.

2. Yellow Pages Online - http://yellowpages.superpages.com/ - Do a search for 'murals' and enter your state name.

3. Faux Directory - http://www.fauxdirectory.com/ - A listing of Faux artists and muralists

So how are you supposed to know which muralist is right
for you and your family? As with any employer, you will want to ask a
lot of questions before signing any contracts.

1. Make sure you take a look at the artists' portfolio. Do the samples match your tastes?

2. What is the price? Have you compared the price to other artists?

3. How long is is going to take the artist?

4. Does the artist have positive testimonials from other clients?

5. Does the artist provide a sketch for you before making you sign a contract?

6. What quality paint will the artist be using?

7. Does the artist seem to have a personality that is pleasant and matches you and your family?

Having a mural installed can help brighten up your child's youth. Make sure that you get your money's worth. Good luck!
