8 ready-made wall murals to spruce up your NYC apartment
Sparklepuss, $13 per square foot at Flavor Paper. Ashley Longshore's design is printed on Mylar for extra oomph.
We recently rounded up some of our favorite temporary wall decals, perfect for adding a little (easily removed) style to a New York City apartment. An even bolder way to update your walls, and make a big statement in the process, is by installing a ready-made mural. Some are just peel-and-stick, and others are installed like wallpaper. Both kinds are an affordable option.
Yes, people pay thousands of dollars to have murals custom-painted on their walls, but you can achieve a similar look for a lot less with the store-bought kind. And yes, you can still get that "birch forest in fall" wall mural you may recall from your uncle's den back in the '70s or '80s, but there are many more options available now.
