Of course, after moving to a new home, everyone wants to make it not only convenient and practical, but also add a touch of originality to the familiar interior. Recently, the trend towards wall painting has become especially relevant. The picture on the wall fits into absolutely any interior, making it unique and inimitable. Entering a room with such picturesque walls, guests can easily make a first impression of the owners of the apartment, and happy home owners will hear compliments more than once about their creativity and impeccable taste.
Cherry blossom - forever
But not everyone can afford to hire a professional decorator who will make a real detailed and well-drawn masterpiece on your walls. Not everyone can do it on their own, but by misjudging your artistic talents, you can, at best, get a clumsy, but tolerable, picture, and at worst, you will have to sketch or wash off the results of your artistic attempts.
Therefore, if you last held a pencil and a brush in your hands when you were still at school, then it’s better to first try to sketch the drawing on a fairly large format. Having drawn a future picture on whatman paper, you will be able to soberly assess your capabilities. Better yet, show the drawing to relatives or friends to get their opinion.
Remember! It is especially important if your relatives or friends live with you. It is impossible for a room that has turned into a flowering garden with your light hand to bring discord into family relationships and unnerve your relatives.
Important points when painting a tree on the wall
AT When choosing a drawing for a room, you should consider:
- Room dimensions.
- Its intended purpose.
- Interests and hobbies of residents.
- The artistic talents of the author of the drawing.
- The amount of money you are willing to spend to create a painting.
Based on the above factors, we can conclude that the drawing on the wall should be quite simple and not lurid. In addition, it is highly discouraged to make large full-wall drawings in small rooms. In this case, it is best to choose part of the wall or one corner for coloring. Of course, there is practically no room in the house where the drawings on the walls would be out of place.
The illusion of a completely natural tree
As for the bedroom or nursery, you need to be quite careful with bright and catchy images on the walls, since the main purpose of these rooms is relaxation, and colorful rich drawings can distract adults from relaxation and prevent children from falling asleep.
If you still decide to depict any paintings on the walls of these rooms, then it is best to place them at the head of the bed. As for the type of drawing and its content, everything will depend on the individual desires of the owner of the apartment. But in order for all the interior items in the house to be in harmony with the pattern, you need to sweat a lot. The versatility of a wall painting must be motivated by practical considerations. After all, you must admit that it would be rather stupid to select furniture and accessories for the masterpiece you have drawn, and not vice versa.
One of the most universal drawings is deservedly considered a tree or its elements. The fact is that this drawing can be made in almost any style, and, depending on the room where it will be depicted, various decorative elements can be added. In addition, the image of a tree is easy to decorate with all sorts of voluminous accessories. It is easy to place hooks for clothes on the branches of a tree, making a hanger, photo frames or any other little things out of it.
The tree can be decorated with pleasant little things
Remember that tree branches are best made asymmetrical, this will greatly simplify the drawing process, and make the picture more lively and natural.
How to draw a tree on the wall and what materials to use
When you have finally decided on the drawing, you can begin to bring your idea to life. This is best done in several steps:
- Preparatory. Choose a spot on the wall and carefully evaluate the surface. If there are no noticeable flaws on the plastered wall, you can immediately start drawing contours, but if this wall has significant irregularities or spots, and the old paint is cracked, then the place for the future picture must be leveled and cleaned.
- Create a sketch. When the preparatory work is completed, take a simple pencil and draw the outlines of the future drawing with thin, barely noticeable lines. If you don't have special artistic talents, get creative and use a projector. In this case, you will simply need to circle the picture projected onto the wall.
- Coloring. In the process of coloring the picture, use brushes of different thicknesses. First, apply paint with a wide brush on the largest single-color elements (trunk, thick branches). Then paint thin branches with a smaller brush. When the base colors are applied, you can safely proceed to the placement of accents and the addition of small details. Leaves, flowers and thin twigs can be depicted using a stencil. Look good on a tree and various inhabitants of the forest.

So, now you know how to draw a tree on the wall of a room in an apartment! We wish you a successful renovation!
Even one wooden wall in a room can enliven it and set a pleasant mood for the entire interior. In most interiors, such a wall will be called an accent wall. In some styles that mimic a rustic atmosphere, it will not be out of place to make all four walls wooden. There is only one catch: if you are doing repairs in an apartment, then wooden walls are not initially foreseen in it - they will have to be created with the help of decoration. In this article, we will look at different cost and complexity ways to do this.
Boards from pallets
What you need: pallets, sandpaper, stain, nails, antiseptic, tools.
Price: very low - only the price of consumables, pallets can be found for free.
To whom to entrust: easy to do yourself.
Cross cuts
The wall, decorated with round saw cuts of wood of different sizes, looks very original. They can be glued directly to the wall or to a panel, such as plywood, and mounted on the wall already.
You can’t decorate the whole apartment like that, since the process is laborious, and washing such a wall is a dubious pleasure. The reception is rather decorative and will go for an accent wall or even for a small segment of it.
What you need: branches collected in the forest, saw, wood impregnation, glue.
Price: very low - the cost of impregnation and glue.
To whom to entrust: easy to make yourself, you can even glue with children.
Option: if you like a wall assembled from small “squares” or textured dice of different sizes, use bars and boards instead of branches.
Laminate
The same laminate that is placed on the floor can be placed on the walls. This is not a natural tree, but the difference is not very noticeable, and the price is much lower. The laminate is assembled in a joint and can only be held on the wall with glue or liquid nails, but for reliability, you can mount it on a metal frame - this installation option will be more difficult and a little more expensive.

The sight of trees in nature and in paintings always evokes thoughts of space.
The idea of painting trees on the walls in urban housing was developed by apartment interior designers.
Living rooms, children's rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens - it is now fashionable to decorate with trees.
Draw a tree with your own hands
Deciding to decorate your home with a tree as a wall decoration, you need to decide how it should look.
You can simply draw it, or you can make it voluminous. It all depends on the color of the wall, the general style that the room is decorated with, lighting, furniture.
Drawing a tree is easy using real dry branches. Having sketched a contour over them, then these branches must be glued along it, the foliage can be made from large and small branches to make it realistic, and the trunk can be laid out with pieces of bark.
A crown can be imitated by cutting out leaflets of the desired shape from colored paper or self-adhesive film and sticking them on the wall. Or paint them with paints - acrylic paints are well suited for painting on the wall. When cutting out leaves, you can use live leaves as a stencil.
You can paint a real sheet with paint, and press it against the wall - like a stamp, then you get realistic prints. You can make leaves from self-adhesive film.
Decorative tree in the interior can be drawn with chalk. A tree drawn with a simple pencil will look very stylish.
Before you draw on the wall, you need to make a sketch on a sheet of paper - draw a tree in detail, correct the drawing, achieving realism, and then accurately transfer it to scale from a sheet of paper to the wall.
You can cut the product out of paper - an unnecessary roll of wallpaper or thick roll paper will do. First you need to draw a contour, and then color it with colored pencils or watercolors.
The finished drawing can be glued to the prepared place completely, or you can cut the tree along the contour. It will be easier if you draw on self-adhesive paper.
If a lot of old glossy magazines have accumulated at home, you can cut a tree out of them. It will turn out extraordinary and colorful, and will not require money for materials at all.
Using fantasy, such a tree can be made very unusual, for example, its branches can be made themed by decorating them with pictures of the same theme: in the kitchen, a tree with branches on a culinary theme will be relevant, in a child’s room - on a cartoon or toy theme.
You can make wood and fabric. The desired tree is drawn on the fabric, then the application is cut out and attached to the wall.
A thick fabric is best, you can take burlap, canvas, a piece of linen or upholstery fabric. With the help of multi-colored flaps, the application will turn out to be creative.
To simplify the work of creating a decorative tree, a stencil made of thick cardboard will help. To make the drawing clear, the stencil can be glued to the wall with tape.
Any hand-made tree is a masterpiece. A selection of photos of decorative trees will help you decide which one is better to do, or give you an idea, as well as see how such trees look in different interiors.
Ideas for trees in the interior
If shelves hang on the wall, then the tree can be entered between them, then the shelves will be its branches, and on the branches there will be books, vases or figurines.
The original version is a family tree, its branches will not be decorated with leaves, but with family photos in frames, the tree will look especially stylish if all the frames are the same.
Tree branches can be decorated with images of butterflies, bees, birds, flowers, fruits.
A tree does not have to be even, because in nature there are no perfect trees. It is not necessary to draw it completely - with a trunk and foliage, you can depict a part of a tree that simply fits into the surrounding interior.
In building materials stores, you can buy ready-made stickers with the image of trees made of vinyl - this is fast, if the tree gets bored, it can be removed without a trace, in addition - vinyl makes it easy to wet clean.
Volumetric decorative trees
More interesting, but more difficult to manufacture, will be a three-dimensional tree. It can be made from a foam plate.
Wood can also be made from yarn. To do this, you need pushpins, which must be fixed on the wall, marking the silhouette with them - and the threads are wound between them. Such a tree will look like an exclusive handmade masterpiece.
A three-dimensional image can be obtained using toilet paper. To do this, dry paper is twisted into bundles, moistened and weaved the desired figure.
It is even better to make a gypsum tree; on the packages with gypsum, the technique for working with the material is indicated. A gypsum tree will look expensive and will add luxury to the room.
Functions of ornamental trees
Trees can become not just decoration, but also a functional element of decor. The branches will make it possible to arrange asymmetrically - at different levels - shelves on which you can put various little things or toys.
In this case, it is better to paint in green or brown - so that they form a single whole with the tree.
If a tree adorns the kitchen wall, towels and potholders can hang on its branches, and bottles of cosmetics can stand in the bathroom.
But there is nothing better than real wood in the interior. If the area of \u200b\u200bthe house allows, then it is better to start a living plant in a pot, putting it in a corner - it will become both an ornament and hide empty space in the room.

family roots
A symbol of comfort, prosperity and continuity of generations is a tree on the wall with your own hands, created in a style that matches the mood of the owner of the house. Accommodation for rest under a spreading crown contributes to a sense of calm and security, encourages measured thinking and pushes the space beyond the plane of the walls. Such a theme of a decorative element of the interior is appropriate in almost any room, regardless of its purpose: receiving guests, doing what you love, playing a child, relaxing, corridor or landing.
Creativity
Each decorative tree on the wall is endowed by the author with its own special personality. Even production according to a standard sketch does not give a complete identity with copies already created according to it, and conscious improvisation gives rise to truly exclusive works.
Simple and tasteful The originality of the setting is given by the details of the interior, made by hand and enlivening the perception of the surrounding mass-produced products. The personification of life, development and constancy in one person is a tree. His image is always recognizable, even if done symbolically in an avant-garde or surreal style.
When a voluminous tree on the wall is made with the expectation of long-term use as a finish, then the materials for work are taken resistant and durable. Combined installations of dissimilar components are covered with protective compounds to equalize the service life of individual sections that can be made from such materials:
- natural wood;
- natural stone;
- glass;
- fabric, cord;
- cardboard, paper;
- foam, polyurethane foam;
- wire, foil, forging;
- putty, gypsum, .
If a plant is made of metal, polymer, stone mosaic, it will still not be a dead static, but will become a frozen movement.
Volumetric composition The execution technology ranges from a simple pencil drawing on wallpaper that has become familiar to the eye to a complex one that occupies adjacent planes. The application of flat and volumetric elements is widely used.
The purpose of creation may be in an exclusively creative field or have a practical purpose:
- fill in the empty space;
- hide the unevenness of the walls;
- carry out local repairs, partially preserving the old top coat.
In any case, having done it with your own hands as a decor, you can easily bring novelty to your home environment and enrich yourself with practical skills in creative decoration of the room.
A variety of tree species, image styles, materials that can be used in the work allows you to choose your own personal option for decorating a house with one or more trees, each of which, depending on the plan, will become a silent interlocutor, a symbol of resistance to external storms, a reason for optimism or a sign of well-being.
Picture
An example of an integrated approach to the simultaneous solution of several issues facing parents at once is a decorative tree on the wall in a nursery or playroom. This method of creating a joyful, interesting environment for children is widely used in kindergartens and children's art houses.
Drawing in the nursery Having his own room, the child not only receives such a miracle at home, but can also take an active part in its creation and growth in the future.
In the children's sector, reproduction of naturalistic details of the image of a particular breed of forest giant is not required. The richness of colors and bizarre lines will give more development to the imagination of the baby.
In addition to aesthetic and design purposes, this practical solution will later serve as a mask for the creative aspirations of a child with a marker or other writing instrument in their hands. In addition, such a performance may be temporary and be eliminated or changed during the current repair.
For a free drawing in the allotted area you will need:
- colored paints;
- different brush sizes
- pencil or crayons for marking.
Previously, before drawing a picture on the selected wall surface, you need to practice on a sheet of paper in acquiring artistic skills to obtain a sustainable result.
Separate details can be displayed with a marker on a plastic film, which are pressed through on the wallpaper, and then simply circled.
Large paintings are redrawn on a grid of squares, carefully copying the image on the wall from the corresponding numbered cells of the drawing on paper.
In the absence of a professional artist at hand and an irresistible desire to get a drawing from harmonious, regular lines, they use another help - a stencil. In this way, the main pattern, a standard detail (for example, a leaf, a branch, a bark texture) is applied, and then they can be combined into one whole with a brush, adding small details or defiantly leaving it as it is.
Application
The next way to make a tree on a wall more attractive than a drawing on a flat surface is to stick curly elements on a given area.
The outlined outline of the trunk and crown of the tree can be cut out of any sheet material (cardboard, wallpaper, fabric). On the canvas, the contours of the constituent parts of the tree are drawn, if necessary, painted in the desired color, cut out and glued to the place determined by the marking lines. Alternatively, you can take a self-adhesive (colored, with a wooden texture).
Beautiful and in a big way Details can be large and small, assembled into a single composition according to the principle.
When working with fabric, it is better to choose its denser types: burlap or upholstery furniture varieties. Such materials better resist wear and tolerate cleaning.
The application is not limited by the use of possible materials and scale, except for saving the usable area of the room.
The most voluminous parts can be made from thick foam or poured from polyurethane foam (followed by painting with acrylic compounds). Such parts with large dimensions have little weight, which does not lead to an increase in the load on the supporting structures.
natural materials
Dry branches in a bouquet A beautiful and original tree on the wall in the interior can be made from wood or plant branches of the selected species. The naturalness of the material does not interfere at all with applying a creative approach and making your own unsurpassed composition from individual parts of the tree: branches, cuts, cones or acorns.
For plastered walls, wood is a great combination, giving the room a warmer feel. Such a design solution can be made with a pattern, appliqué, arrangement of useful interior details: hangers, shelves, placement of photographs and paintings. An interesting solution for dry branches was the image of a crown of colorful prints of real leaves on the wall.
You can get acquainted with the technique of making wood on the wall in the form of a simple bas-relief using the following video as an example:
In interiors, the use of natural motifs is becoming more and more relevant. The painted tree will look amazing on the walls of the room. But the question arises: how to make a tree on the wall with your own hands and get a beautiful result at the same time?
Style
Drawings and various images will be an interesting addition to the interior, especially if you choose the right style. Wall trees can most often be seen in the interior in the form of photo wallpapers or special vinyl stickers on the walls. Similar options can be considered as examples or ideas. But if you draw trees on the wall, the interior looks completely different. Paints, lively strokes, a stream of fantasy - they look much more complete, rich and visually attractive.
Many people worry that because of the inability to draw, it will be difficult or simply impossible to create such a design. However, this is not the case, a phased drawing with a detailed plan will make the process understandable even for a small child.
A minimalistic image of regular shapes, created with the help of 1-2 colors, even without shades (solid color), will fit into a modern interior. This option is the easiest to implement. In a Soviet design or loft, oak with twisting branches, a play of light and a combination of many tones will look good. However, baroque, like empire, will require the highest skill in artistic painting, these styles are best left to a professional.
Bonsai is perfect for a Japanese-style room with lanterns and images of geishas. You can also draw a sakura tree on the wall, which will look very elegant, especially in delicate colors. Having drawn the trunk, crown and flowers can be applied with asymmetrical strokes, like a mosaic.
Color spectrum
In addition to the style of the image, the choice of colors plays a significant role. Shades can be luminescent, pastel or muted dark. The tree divided into four seasons will look original. Make part of the crown autumn in fiery red tones, part - light green with buds. Some branches can be covered with artificial snow, making the image three-dimensional. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe roots, it is worth adding details: depict flowers or “scatter” acorns.
Black and white versions are popular. They are often performed in a graphic style - through strokes and lines. Black drawing may seem too dark, sinister to many, but there are very airy variations of trees in this style that completely dispel this feeling. The black and white combination, due to its conciseness, is optimally suited to various color schemes. Yes, and it is much easier to draw a tree on the wall in one color with your own hands.
Children's theme
Many people may find a stylish black and white combination boring, especially since you can use not only a natural color palette, but also a fantasy one. Who said that a tree cannot be made with purple, blue, yellow paints? The combination of pink and purple is perfect for the bedroom of a little princess. A painted castle in the same color scheme or flowers in the background may rise next to the tree.
The heroes of Russian folk tales will help to draw a tree on the wall in the nursery with an amusing motive: a squirrel sitting on a tree with emerald nuts, a rejuvenating apple tree, Pinocchio money tree. Or a learned cat with a chain will walk along the branches, and a mermaid from A.S.'s poem will sit nearby. Pushkin.
Preparatory stage
In order to draw a beautiful tree on the wall, you must first prepare the surface. Even ordinary wallpapers are suitable for this, but it is recommended to use wallpapers with a special coating. Bare walls should be plastered and then primed to ensure the paint adheres well. Walls covered with paint can be painted literally immediately, provided that the coating is not glossy. If you apply a drawing on an unprepared surface, then the paints can literally drain down or remain watery spots.
If there is a suitable finished drawing, we print large details and make a stencil on them. To do this, first cut out a piece of paper of the desired shape, take thick cardboard and repeat the figure from a denser material. The same stencil can be used repeatedly, for example, when drawing leaves.
Drawing process
Before you draw a tree on the wall with paints with your own hands, you need to apply the future drawing with a pencil. The first step will be a sketch, just roughly showing where the main parts of the tree will be located. Next, we outline the contours, leaves and small details, it is better to draw according to the template.
Next, the first, main layer of paint is applied. A large brush is used to paint over the trunk and create a foliage background. Then the shades are placed with a smaller brush. The final element is the elaboration of details. With a thin brush, miniature details are drawn: twigs, highlights, buds.
There is one tricky way to quickly and effortlessly paint a tree on a wall. The main "ingredient" will be a stencil, which will need to be glued tightly to the wall. After that, the shape of the tree can be painted over from a can of paint. The only caveat is uniform spraying, otherwise the color will turn out to be uneven: with spots and poorly dyed areas. Later, on top of the paint, it will not be difficult to draw contours, shadows, details. Markers or acrylic are best.
To create a multi-colored tree, completely painted over with spray paint, you will have to work hard. You will need to cut a multilayer stencil, more often it is done on several sheets. The more layers, the more colors and details in the drawing.
materials
Building materials may be required to prepare an old wall for painting: putty, spatula, primer, several construction brushes. Since you will first have to close up the cracks, level the surface and apply a primer layer susceptible to painting.
Next, you need a simple pencil, an eraser. To draw a tree on the wall with your own hands, it is far from necessary to make templates. This is only recommended if the tree needs to have some identical detail or be symmetrical. To create a stencil, it is better to use a printed pattern, in addition to it, you need scissors, cardboard, and a ruler may be required.
To complete the drawing, you need brushes of different diameters, paints, a palette, a glass of water. On top of the image, you can additionally apply a layer of varnish.
Choice of colors
The final step is the actual application of paints. The most important question: how to choose the right paint? Also, it is worth paying attention to hypoallergenicity if there are small children or allergy sufferers in the house. For water resistance: you can take waterproof paint or varnish the most common gouache.
In no case should you take watercolor to paint a tree with your own hands on the wall, since the paint is very watery and not suitable for walls, gouache is cheap, but far from the best quality and beautiful option.
Acrylic paints are ideal for decorating surfaces, they are used for artistic wall painting.
Details
The crown of the tree painted on the wall can be used as a board for reminders or photos. On the wall, you can place stickers with an adhesive strip, on which there will be reminders of important dates and events, or notes about upcoming business. You can hang a fishing line or thread on the buttons, on top of which photos are easily fixed with paper clips, mini clothespins.
Additional lighting installed above the painted tree will place interesting accents. If the wall has a purely decorative function, then in some places real twigs can be glued onto the drawing. And on the images of leaves - voluminous paper applications. Some designers complement the composition with small pieces of canvas bags, fabric, shreds.
