3 Mural Types for Schools
These are the three main types of mural themes I work with that I find the most flexible and adaptable for schools. With each theme, it can be the dominant feature but still use elements from the other themes too.
- Quirky Fun Characters – eg playfully imagination
- Words & Phrases – eg school values
- Organic & Abstract – eg harmonious patterns
Quirky Fun Characters & Animal Murals
Sometimes the mural needs to be filled with fun. By using this approach a landscape combined with made-up characters and animals can be uplifting as a mural. The idea of this approach is to encourage imagination.



Words & Phrases Murals
By using words of motivation and goodwill as the main feature of the mural. This could also use your school motto.



Organic & Abstract Murals
By using organic and abstract forms to create a nice feeling for the space. By this method, the mural is open to interpretation with a focus on being positive.
