ACCENT IT. The decor and furniture in the room can serve as a pop of color against the mural or as an element that matches a color or vibe in the room or your whole house. McClellan already had the yellow table and chairs in her kitchen, so she matched the mural to it. “I was picking colors that kind of went with that table and chairs,” she says. “There’s a lot of that golden yellow in our house.” In her office, she chose a yellow toned velvet couch to create contrast with the blue, black and white in the mural. You can experiment with add ing art, shelves and other de cor on top of your mural, but step back and to make sure it all works together. “We tried to throw different things up there,” she says about the kitchen mural and adds they landed on a little collection of cheetah prints. “With all the plants, it felt right.” She likes adventurous decor and layering but says it’s all based on your preferences and the style in your home. “I kind of want to put other things on top of mural accent walls, because I feel like it gives it more depth,” McClel lan says. “You can just keep it open. You know, just let the art shine through.”
