Desert Mural Ideas

Desert scenes offer a variety of interesting rock formations and colorful landscapes that introduce patterns and geometry.

A desert landscape also provides a clean slate for story telling.  So when you want to tell a specific story or scene, a desert background can be a great starting point.

Desert Landscapes

Desert landscapes include rock formations that can have interesting colors and patterns, sand dunes that form shapes, and vegetation like a cactus that could form as characters or have a persona.

If your child is a fan of Disney/Pixar Cars, then a desert scene is also a great place to start.  There are a number of terrific settings that can resemble something near Radiator Springs.
