No one loves working in a dull, closed-off room with no decorations on the walls. Staying in a poorly decorated environment can leave you and your employees feeling stir-crazy. This is especially true if you sit with your back to a window or have a cubicle in the center of a busy office floor. If you are leasing your building, it may be against your lease to drill into the wall to add shelves or other decorations. You may feel that lease requirements regarding drills might limit what you can do with your space. Wall murals may be just what you need.
Fortunately, there is an easy way to improve your workplace surroundings. Consider custom-made wallpaper designs or flashy murals that can make the office more appealing for your employees to view. Murals can inspire your employees and help them feel more engaged with the company. Best of all, installation is a breeze when working with a professional Maryland wallpaper and mural company.
Wallpaper and Wall Murals
You should think carefully about the design you would like on your Washington D.C wall mural or wallpaper. Removing the wallpaper or a vinyl mural is possible, and high-quality wallpaper won’t leave behind a sticky residue once removed. However, removing a mural can be an unwanted expense. Take your time to finalize the mural design and its placement upfront so you won’t need to change it later.
Landscapes and plants are both designs that can quickly bring positive vibes into a room and elevate your employees’ moods. Simply looking at plants can bring peace to your mind, even if the plants are fake. If a potted desk plant would take up too much space in your work environment, decorated wallpaper is the perfect solution to bring a pleasant atmosphere into a small space.
Roadrunner Wraps is a Maryland wallpaper design company, so if you are in our area, we can help you design a perfect wallpaper or vinyl mural custom-fit to your space.
Designing Wall Murals
Symbolism
You may choose a mural over custom-made wallpaper if you hope to make a statement. To make a statement, you should strive to create a mural that represents your company’s values. A mural in your company values will feel like it fits well with the space. Murals can help your employees and clients feel confident that your company believes in its values and knows what it’s doing.
Conversation
Perhaps you are looking for custom wallpaper, murals, or window wraps that can be a thought-provoking conversation piece. For example, if you run a business about rainforest tourism, consider a mural depicting rainforest animals and their declining habitats. This mural design could make tourists more thoughtful about how they treat the land while visiting.
Storytelling
Use office wall murals to tell your clients and employees more about your company. For example, your cafe mural can depict fields and cows if the founder of your business was born and raised on a farm. Using farm imagery can emphasize the values of hard work, family, or education. A mural can tell a sequence of events to make your company’s story meaningful to the employees who spend their time working for it. When a mural tells a story, it can make everyone feel part of a bigger picture, like they can make an impact to continue the story.
Aesthetics
Of course, we can’t overlook the importance of aesthetics in a mural. When you create a space with a mural, you should strive to create an attractive area that people want to return to and enjoy. A mural can brighten a room by making a space feel more open or inviting. Popular mural imagery includes:
- Insects and animals
- Plants
- Landscapes
- Oceans
- Open roads
A mural can help take an employee’s mind from a busy, dirty, or smelly street outside. Sitting near a mural can make spending a full day in the workplace less dull. A nicely decorated hallway can make an employee feel more like they are entering a place they can go to work with a calm mind instead of a place that will leave them feeling bored and restless all day long.
Mood
Wall murals can even lift an employee’s mood. Blue can bring feelings of peace and relaxation. Yellow can fill you with hope and joy, making it the perfect color for a workspace. Green can promote thoughtfulness and supply you with energy as it reminds you of the beautiful outdoors. Flowers can
Remember, bold yellow can draw the eye to a specific part of your mural. Red can prompt feelings of power, anger, or hunger. Use both colors sparingly, especially in a peaceful work environment or break room.
Focus on Employee Engagement
Are you happy with the number of employees in your company? Do you feel these employees may be with you for years to come? If so, promoting employee engagement can be great by having your employees vote on which office wall murals they like best.
You can narrow your options to a few favorite designs representing your company as a business owner. By offering the chance to vote on the final result, you can help your employees feel you are willing to listen to them and respect their ideas.
Also, consider asking your employees which wall they would like to see the design displayed on. Perhaps you think the design would look great in your building’s lobby or conference room, but the majority of your employees say they would like to see a lovely mural in the cafeteria to give them something appealing to look at while on their lunch break. Your employees may even want window wraps instead of murals or wallpaper. Consider all the feedback you receive. By communicating with your employees, you are sure to find a solution you all love.
