Perimeter walls can be dull and boring but they can also be as exciting as you want them to be with custom wall murals that give some life to it.

Your outdoor has many functions, whether it is space to unwind and relax in or a place where you can host a cocktail party or sundowner, the fence and walls should inspire you to make the space a favourite hangout for friends and family.

Wall Murals

The use of your backyard determines the kind of murals that you should have on the walls. This will ensure that you do not contrast the garden scheme with the walls.

A backyard that is used as a children’s playground may have murals of cartoon characters or play equipment that will also entertain the kids.

One that is used as a garden should have wall murals of plants and farm animals to relate with the theme in the garden. The murals can also have all forms of art that mirror the owner’s love of art.

Edwin Mwangi of Eden Gardening and Landscaping limited says that the theme of your garden should also be reflected on the fence art or murals.

“If you have planted purple hibiscus in your garden then the same should be on the wall paintings,” he says.

Whether the perimeter wall is made of wood or stone, painting them will bring a continuous theme of the garden. One can also use stencil to decorate the outside walls, this gives it an inviting atmosphere in the outdoors.

This creative outdoor solution will quickly transform a backyard into an art gallery.

Small gardens and backyards look better with wall paintings and murals as it gives the space a bigger feel and look. These can be highlighted with sculptures as well as garden statues scattered around the yard.

Rather than hiring an artist to paint a outdoor murals, there are digitally print images for wall covering material that you simply stick to the wall.

Wall planters

Other than art pieces, one can put up pots and grow flowers. Wall planters and pots add life to your walls where you can grow various flowers or plants.

They help create beautiful living walls with the vertical garden without damaging the walls. Even with limited space, you can bring the garden to the walls with an outdoor living wall since they take up little or no space in the back yard

Wall creepers and climbers are a more old-fashioned way of giving the perimeter walls some edge but the use of garden wall pots is a more modern way to do it.

Painting your walls a plain colour and using coloured pots makes an interesting addition to the decor of your home.

Look for plants that do well with low amounts of light since the pot may not be situated on a wall that’s directly across from a sunny window.

Most of the wall pots are lightweight, easily mounted and can be easily moved. Choose a size that works for your space and configure them as you like.
