I wanted a nice theme to my room and it all starts with a nice wallpaper. I would enjoy like a seinfeld kind of theme with a picture of the monks cafe restaurant or jerry's apartment on my wall or another theme might be cool like a nice sunset or a beach too or maybe even a nice view of a city like new york, thanks

I was looking for a wallpaper mural for my guest bedroom and have come across several that you may be interested in.

Since you said you might be interested in a New York cityscape, you might try checking this mural out. It's a mural of the Manhattan bridge at night:

You could try and match the dark, warm plum colors or the deep blues on the adjoining walls (murals that are pasted against flat, white walls look a little out of place). You could also place floor to ceiling curtains (maybe rich velvet) on either side of the mural as if you were framing a window. Track lighting would look nice on the ceiling above it. I would opt for modern metal furniture or sleek, dark walnut and deep violet bedlinens. You want to match the colors in the mural.
Perhaps a tall artificial plant in a silver metal cannister on an opposite wall with a floor lamp behind it, directed upwards would be a nice balance (be careful of wattage and placement, you don't want a fire hazard).

I also found a nice tropical sunset mural here:

I would suggest wicker furniture or something with warm natural tones. I would try and find some deep burnt orange bedlinens with some deep yellow pillows for contrast, and perhaps a nautical-inspired swag lamp for the corner for some mood lighting (like the ones that look like the old style buoys wrapped in fish netting). An artificial palm placed on the adjacent wall towards the left of the mural may help give it some depth.

I also found a very magical-looking forest mural here:

You could paint the walls a nice neutral creamy brown and use dark colored, rustic looking furniture and off-white linens. You could also find some exotic, lush fabrics to drape over the head of your bed or create a mock canopy for an old world gypsy feel. A swag lamp would look great with that, too. Something in a rich jeweltone.

Finally, there's a nice bamboo forest wall mural that might appeal to you.

You can use the wicker or dark wood furniture idea, or go with something more exotic. I would go with dark wood and a striking deep gold comforter with naturally-colored accents. Keep it simple. You could drape muslin from the ceilings to give the appearance of camping out in the forest. The only drawback to draping fabric from the ceiling is that it tends to be a pain to dust. A rice paper lantern placed in a corner would be great mood lighting. If you don't have wood floors, you could get a tatami mat to fill some space in the middle of the room. Don't forget candles. Once the lights are out, they can help with the illusion of hanging out in the forest. Just don't get too relaxed and doze off before putting them out!

I would look in your local classifieds for furniture and ebay is great for finding accessories. Try and buy pieces on the cheap then sand and stain them yourself if you can. Don't forget to sand down the walls if they are textured. Put a dropcloth down to collect the dust. Applying wallpaper can be a bit tricky. Take your time and do it carefully.

You can also try checking out this link from HGTV about wallpaper and murals.

Hope this helps getting the creative juices flowing.

You can go to a home improvement store such s : Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. I think a nice border either around the top or middle of the wall will look nice!

I hope I helped and good luck on your Decorating venture!
