The best wall murals for paint- and nail-free home decor

Modern murals are easy to apply and are an easy DIY project to change up your home. If you have limited space to make an interior design statement, utilize your walls for a dramatic makeover. We’ve highlighted our favorite wall murals to help you choose the one for your accent wall.

Mural walls come in various installation methods. Peel-and-stick wall murals stay on your wall via an adhesive side. There are also mural wall decals that are smaller in size and 3D wall murals that are smaller still.

The right wall mural depends on your overall decor vision, wall space, and creative freedom. While peel-and-stick murals are easy to install and cover large areas, they might require some cleanup if you end up  moving out of your home. Let’s check out our list to weigh out our options.
