Update: My bedroom mural project ruined with cheap digital prints

Redid my bedroom and wanted a custom mural. Used some digital art I found online. Printed it big for one wall. Colors came out all wrong and pixelated. It just looks fake and messy now. Should have paid for original art instead. Never skimp on quality for home decor displays.

My buddy tried that with a concert poster for his basement. Looked fine on screen but printed out all grainy and sad lmao.

Looks that fake and messy? @nguyen.elizabeth might be right about your lights making it worse.

Check the lighting where you hung the mural. Sunlight and bulbs can wash out colors or make pixelation stand out even more. I had a photo blow up that looked fine in the store but terrible at home under my LEDs. Digital files often don't have the right color setup for big prints, so they lose detail. You might fix it by adjusting the room lights or using a matte finish to hide flaws. Sometimes the problem isn't just the print but how you see it every day.
