Design
The mural is organized as a richly colored floral still-life composition. The left side is dominated by a cluster of large sunflowers with layered golden petals, dark textured centers, and broad green leaves. Their scale and vivid color give the mural immediate visual energy.
On the right, three white calla lilies emerge from a large cobalt-and-white ceramic vase. Their sculptural petals curve around orange centers, creating a softer and more elegant contrast with the bold sunflowers. Large tropical-style leaves surround both flower groups and connect the composition from top to bottom.
The lower portion introduces a warm wooden table and a white decorative cloth embroidered with red flowers and green foliage. A golden-orange fruit placed between the two ceramic vessels adds another note of warmth and helps connect the floral arrangement with the tabletop still-life setting.

Installation Tips
Before installation, arrange all 48 tiles on a clean, flat surface to verify the correct 6 tiles wide × 8 tiles high sequence and image alignment. Use an adhesive suitable for glazed ceramic tile and the selected substrate. Maintain consistent grout joints throughout the mural. A non-sanded grout is generally preferred for glazed decorative ceramic because it is less abrasive to the surface.
Maintenance
Clean the glazed ceramic surface with mild pH-neutral soap, warm water, and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive pads, acidic products, and harsh chemical cleaners. Maintain grout and perimeter joints as needed to help preserve the finished installation.
