If you are looking to make your box bedroom look bigger or create the illusion of more space in your living room, a wall mural that extends the eye is a great way to make any small room look larger.

It will capture the attention of everyone who enters your home and add life and depth to any room.

Tunnels

Using tunnel style imagery is one of the easiest and most sure fire ways to elongate the appearance of a room. You have more options that you might at first think with this style of imagery, and it’s certainly far from boring!  There is lots of choice and freedom in style, for example you can choose anything from futuristic styles like the one below, or stunning photography of tunnelled walkways and caves.
