How to place a wall decal (tree trunks) that doesn't match your wall height?

Question

There's a wall I'd like to decorate with stickers in form of tree trunks with some animals (http://goo.gl/X1ywBd). However, the stickers are not high enough for my wall, leaving a 40 cm gap, which imo would look awkward.

What do your recommend me to do with it? How should I place it? Should I leave the whole gap above or below the sticker? or should I place it right in the middle leaving gaps above and below?

There won't be furniture at the wall.

i would take one of the grey decals to a paint store and get them to mix you a quart of matching color. Then place the tree trunks running all the way up to the ceiling and use the paint to fill in the same design running to the floor from each trunk. Then stick up the animals. Or use black or matching grey paint and paint a slightly wavy "ground", maybe even with a sort of grassy texture, along the bottom of the wall that the tree trunks "grow" out of. You could test how that looks by slicing up a black trash bag and taping it along the bottom first.

Or sacrifice one of the wider tree decals by cutting it up to make extensions to attach to the bottom of the rest of the trunks to fill in the gap at top or bottom. That would be the quickest and easiest solution.

Is it possible to put a strip of moulding to put above or below the trees?

Or could  you put them up to reach the ceiling and add paint or a border strip of the same color below the decals?
