Vehicle wall murals

Do you have the feeling that you need to step up the pace when redesigning your idyllic home? But you can't get going for lack of ideas? You've come up with some initial solutions, but the route you're aiming for looks rather lame?

Would you like more power and a spatial concept that requires viewers to buckle up so they don't get knocked off their seats? If you belong to the target group that has petrol in their blood, then you should focus on murals that show vehicles. Whether you're a motorbike fanatic, classic car fan or adrenaline junkie, you'll definitely get the hang of it with these snappy displays.

Automotive stimuli evoke unexpected emotions

Men and women alike are attracted to cars. There are even people who have a love affair with their vehicle. It doesn't matter whether it's a sports car, saloon or small car. Of course, it all depends on the initial spark. The first moment when driver and vehicle meet, so to speak. Car enthusiasts always keep an eye on the face. Doting fans read human facial features from the front end. The front lights serve as eyes, the logo is the nose and the radiator grille acts as a mouth. Crazy? Maybe, but a well-proportioned and elegant vehicle really gets car freaks going.

The two- or four-wheeled friend has already become firmly established in the minds of children. Little boys enjoy attracting the tantalising glances of the girls' toddler group just because they are doing laps in the sandpit with a red Ferrari model. Or confidently chugging around the school playground with children's toys such as a concrete mixer, tow truck or tipper.

In short, drivers are smitten at the sight of leather seat upholstery, chrome-plated instruments, elegant wood and metal elements of the interior and graceful body panels. It is therefore hardly surprising that these gems are even parked in the living room at home. Model cars have long been a firm favourite in display cabinets, living room walls and on sideboards. Whether it's a detailed VW Beetle from 1955, a replica Fiat 500L from 1968 or a Simson Schwalbe, collector's items in particular are duly emphasised within your own four walls.

Wall murals with vehicles accelerate the heartbeat

In the past, photographs of two- and four-wheeled favourites were hung in the garage or basement. Displays of restored classics and elaborately tuned cars were the most popular.

Nowadays, reproductions are available on canvas, aluminium dibond, wood, posters, photo wallpaper or glass pictures in a wide variety of designs. The wall decorations have now blossomed into true works of art. The latest printing technologies and high-quality materials give the images a brilliant quality and make them irresistible eye-catchers.

There is no longer any reason to isolate the exhibits in separate rooms. Especially not when the image of the dream car conveys a feeling as if the cylinders are roaring and the rev needle is twitching in red. If the art print is depicted so realistically that you could be forgiven for thinking you were being pressed into the sports seats of a Bugatti, for example, when looking at the photograph.

Many cars and motorbikes are top-class design products and deserve to be showcased to great effect. Thanks to the wide range of designs, wall murals with vehicles can be easily integrated throughout the living area.

Old-timers that reflect a bold play of colours come into their own in living environments such as shabby chic, retro, vintage or art deco. Historic vehicles exude a unique aura. When the paintwork of a vintage car such as a Chevrolet gleams in the hot sun, this scene immediately makes you want to go for a spin. American cars from the 1950s take you on a very special journey back in time. The chic vintage cars smell of freedom and add a nostalgic touch to any wall.

But it's not just classic cars that know how to bring wall surfaces to the big stage. Let's take a look at what expressive possibilities murals with vehicles actually have to offer.

Images of vehicles help with home optimisation

Wall murals depicting cars or motorbikes are obviously a departure from the norm in the office, but they also provide creative inspiration. Thanks to their exquisite design, the exhibits always look modern and very atmospheric. Black and white photographs of powerful cars conjure up an eye-catcher in business premises that nobody can resist. These unusual decorative elements create a striking effect above a desk.

Even in the entrance area or in the living room, wall murals with vehicles impressively mix up the living ambience. Perhaps an acrylic glass picture showing a stripped-out red Cadillac that has been sitting in the desert for many years. Or an XXL poster that takes you on a journey through London in a taxi and a bus. The poster by Matteo Colombo, which presents a historic tram in San Francisco, exudes a good dose of charm.

As you can see, there are plenty of visual hooks to add a refreshing touch to your personal cosmos. Mobile wall murals are also perfect for children's rooms. If you're not so keen on racing cars and the like, you could alternatively opt for a hot air balloon. A hot-air balloon made of MDF (medium density fibreboard) in particular will make for astonished faces. What's more, this wooden decoration creates a cosy atmosphere.
