Having decided to use such a newfangled wall decoration as an image of a tree in the design of a room, you must first decide on its type. The fact is that it can be simply drawn, or it can be made voluminous. How to be in your situation, will help to decide:
- Wall color.
- Decor style.
- The degree of illumination of the room.

If you have certain abilities, you can approach the solution of the issue from a professional side, but people who are not creatively gifted will have to think about how to create the desired image of a plant on one of the walls without any special frills and arts.
Probably the easiest way to create a tree outline is using real dry branches. Draw a schematic outline of the crown and trunk and glue the assembled branches along it.
The trunk of such a tree pattern on the wall can be made prefabricated, that is, several branches can be connected together to give the desired thickness, or laid out in pieces of bark.
In the crown area, large branches can be alternated with small ones. As for the foliage, it can be:
- Imitate appliqué from color film or paper.
- Draw with acrylic paints.
- Make a stencil.
- Printed from real leaves.
The last option is very interesting. Collect a variety of leaves and use them as stamps, that is, paint their surface with paint and simply print on the wall.It is easy to assemble a decorative tree from parts cut out from self-adhesive film in the appropriate colors.
You can create a drawing of a tree on the wall not only with paints, but also with chalk or a simple pencil.. However, in this case, if you are not strong in art, you need to practice with a sketch on paper. A well-thought-out image is displayed on the landscape sheet in all its details, then flaws are corrected, additions are made and the already finalized picture is transferred to scale on the wall surface.
A decorative element such as a tree can be completely cut out of paper. Most often, consumables are old wallpaper or roll paper. They create an outline of the future tree, which is subsequently painted with pencils or watercolors. The finished creation is glued to the designated place. Self-adhesive materials will significantly speed up and facilitate the task. Do you have a certain number of glossy magazines at home? Fine! This is an excellent raw material for creating a wall tree. You will get an extraordinary and incredibly colorful version without spending a single extra penny on its manufacture! Take scissors and start creating a tree pattern on a free wall. You can make thematic branches, that is, decorate them with leaves with pictures of a certain theme. For example, in the kitchen, a culinary theme will be relevant, in a nursery - a toy or cartoon one.
Not only film and paper are suitable for working on wood - fabric can also become a consumable. The principle of working with it is the same as with paper, that is, the desired image is drawn on the fabric cut, which is then cut out and attached to the wall. For such an application, it is worth taking dense materials, such as burlap, canvas, upholstery, linen. Using patches of different colors, you can compose a rather creative composition.
It greatly simplifies the work on creating a decorative tree stencil. It is easy to make it yourself. The desired element can be cut out of thick cardboard. For non-professionals, working with a stencil may seem burdensome at first: the workpiece will slip out of your hands or move when used. In order for the tree pattern to turn out clear on the wall, try to fix the stencil with adhesive tape, then in the process of work you will not have unpleasant excesses.
