Create Instantly Stylish Walls With Rub On Mural Transfers!

Open any decorating magazine and you will likely see at least one home with a beautiful custom mural, or at least a little decorative painting as an accent on a wall or on a piece of furniture. This artistic touch expresses the owners sense of style.

How can you recreate some artistic touches in your home if you can't even paint a straight line? How can you afford this kind of custom look? Rub on mural transfers are the answer!

Relatively new to the design market, mural transfers are simply mural artwork that has been printed face down directly on a translucent transfer sheet. Place the mural on the wall and rub the transfer off the sheet, almost like a tattoo for your wall! Only the thin layers of non-toxic ink remain on your wall, revealing every detail, shadow, brush stroke and amazing color of the original mural art. You don't need to paint a thing!

Mural transfers, or decorative painting transfers can add that touch of style to your home and you can even customize the design. Many decorative designs, like wrought iron or vines, ivy, faux molding, faux mosaic or Mediterranean tiles etc. can be cut from the transfer sheet and the arrangement can be designed by you! Make a headboard from the wrought iron, or create an over the door wrought iron accent, intertwine some ivy...these transfers are so thin on your wall that you can layer them and create your own custom "hand painted" accent.

Other transfer murals include window scenes that bring the vista of a beautiful vineyard into your home. Maybe you could rub nine large fluttering butterflies painted in paisley, polka dots and stripes to add a special touch on your daughters wall in her room! There are many designs to chose from, and more will be added soon!

Most people would not put a "sticker" on their walls, except maybe in their childrens rooms. There are a lot of vinyl wall graphics out there that are stickers, but mural and decorative transfers are a completely different thing! It's simply the ink that transfers, so it incorporates into your wall finish, even if you have textured walls. They are so thin, like a coat of paint, that you actually, you don't have to remove them...simply paint over whenever you want to redecorate. That comes in handy with the kids, since we know their tastes will change in a year or two. The transfers are semi-matte, so there is no shiny look to the surface either.

You can have fun and be creative, even if you don't paint! Create the look of brick breaking through your wall, along with a portion of your wall that has broken away to reveal the sky. A bird has made a nest in the crook of that breakaway, 3 baby birds have just hatched in the nest , and ivy trails from the opening. Another bird flies nearby. These are the types of transfers that are available for you to simply rub onto your wall. Your friends will touch them, trying to see if they are painted on, because they really look like they are! The detail is just amazing.

Custom murals can cost a small fortune, but transfer murals are not only affordable but fun too. You can now decorate your walls with murals and decorative painting, without being able to draw and without a single drop of paint!

* WALL DRESSED UP is a company created by two artists, both formally trained in New York, with extensive backgrounds in mural and trompe l'oeil painting, decorative painting, fabric design and illustration. We are really excited to bring our mural and decorative artwork to you in easy to apply rub on transfer prints.

* We have spent a long time researching just the right kind of transfer printing that will provide a beautiful end result, along with ease of application for you, our customer. Some of the methods that we tested seemed easy, but did not provide consistently easy application. We wanted a foolproof method of transfer, so that you do not need to be exceptionally crafty to get an excellent result. We also wanted easy application for large wall murals as well as designs that you can customize. It has been such an interesting journey getting the printing to meet all our criteria, but we are confident that you will find the results of our search to be an incredible product for your home.

* Our mission is to bring beautiful mural artwork into our customers homes with a unique rub on transfer printing method that makes wall murals both easy to apply and affordable.

* Our vision is to provide you with the type of artwork that a designer would commission for a showcase home, but to make the whole process easy and much less expensive than commissioning a custom mural.

* Imagine picking from an array of beautiful mural art, trompe l'oeil designs, architectural elements that incorporate faux finishes, children's murals, hand painted borders and other fabulous designs for a fraction of what it would cost you to hire a professional mural artist.

* These designs can be applied to walls, furniture...even floors! The most exciting thing is that once the artwork is applied to your wall, it truly looks like a custom hand painted mural. When you follow the easy application instructions to apply the artwork to your wall, only the printed ink will transfer making it look like it was painted directly on the wall.

* There is absolutely no paint or mess. All designs will come with easy and straight forward directions for how to apply these rub on transfers. This will be an amazingly fun and easy "do-it-yourself" project with maximum WOW factor at an incredible price.

* Invite the neighbors over! They won't believe that you didn't hire an artist to paint an expensive custom mural directly on your wall. (We won't tell if you don't)
