Customizing Your Wall Décor

Whether you’re partial to contemporary abstract art or your own personal pictures, Modern Mural can help you create stunning wall murals that fit your needs and your décor.

How does this work?

It’s easy! Check out the new “Design Your Own!” tool on the Modern Mural web site and follow the steps below to create your personalized or abstract wall art.

1. Once on the “Design Your Own!” page, choose a layout for your art. After selection, the layout may be changed at any time by clicking the browse button located above the picture preview. There is no risk for low resolution, as the site will not allow you to continue if the resolution of the photo is too low to print on the chosen layout.
2. Choose a design. There are three options: a) You can choose one of the many Modern Mural designs. All of the Modern Mural Art Collections are located on the left-hand side of the screen for you to browse through. b) You can upload your own high-resolution photo. To upload your own photo, click on the “My Art” tab and choose “Upload My Art!” You will then have the opportunity to browse your computer for the photo you wish to use. Keep in mind that high-resolution photos, for example, photos from an 8-megapixel camera, work best for this option. c) You can purchase images from other sites that may be uploaded and used to create a modern mural. Size requirements for these images are XL, XXL, or vector. Some examples of these web sites include: stockxpert.com, istockphoto.com, and fotolia.com
3. Click on the thumbnail picture of your choice.
4. Adjust the design. Your picture will appear in the large preview box in the center of the screen. At this point, you can use your mouse to drag the picture into the position you desire or use the Zoom Art and Visibility slider bars, located beneath the preview, to change the look. “Reset Art Layout” will return the picture to its original position.
5. When you are satisfied with the design, click “Add to Cart” and you will be able to see a final preview of your art. Click “Add to Cart” again to place the order into your shopping cart, then “My Cart” at the top of the page to check out.

Congratulations! You have created your own customized wall décor. Your personalization, along with the superior quality of these wall prints, makes the artwork the ideal fusion for your stylish and smart lifestyle.
