Some people get confused between wall murals and wallpapers, but there are some differences between them.. Wall murals are a piece of graphic artwork or a digital print from a very high quality photo. They are often made of a self adhesive material. Wall papers on the other hand are strips of a repetitive pattern. They mostly are made of paper and are not pre-pasted. Both murals and wall papers are stylish and a creative way though to decorate a specific space in your house or your office.
