Spruce Up Your Walls

Up on the blog this week, it's all about creating special moments in your home with wall decals!  It's wallpaper for the non-committal.  Wall decals are having a moment these days.  They offer a great way to add something interesting and bold, but offer the possibility of easy removal. In this blog, we will aim to inspire you with ways to use the wall decal.

We all love to make changes to the place where we spend most of our time. These changes not only give a new and fresh look to the space but also make us feel happy. Wall art decals are the least expensive way to transform your interiors. They add a layer of interest to any space. They are made of matte vinyl or laminated paper and feature one-sided adhesive patterns available in custom cut-outs,  murals, and words or sayings. Unlike paintings (which take a lot of planning and time) these can be installed easily and quickly.

It's easier than ever to uplift the look of your stairs with these decorative strips. These stair riser decals will create a big impact with an easy installation and little investment. Patterns and tiles are not just for the bathroom or kitchen areas, these self adhesive stair strips will create a bold statement on your stairs and are much easier to install than wallpaper.  There are many styles to suit any interior design style.

MULTI-PURPOSE

This set of wall decals could easily be used to spruce up an office, a powder room, an entry way or a even a child's bedroom.  I'd even say to use it in a rental unit to cover up nicks and pinholes in the walls.

SET THE SCENE

Wall decals are often sold as sets but beware of relying on these to give you the dramatic effect you are looking for. Often, there are not enough decals in a set to adequately fill a space, leaving you with less "wow" and more "meh." You can make a big impression with a single large-scale decal like this scene-stealing chrysanthemum from Fathead. Different from run-of-the-mill floral decals, the scale and variety of colors in this one make it special.

MAKE DOING LAUNDRY MORE FUN

I don't know many that are fans of doing laundry and I don’t think that anything’s ever going to change that.  But, if the laundry room was a little more bright and cheery, it would be a start! I spotted these super cute tangerine decals in a laundry space and had to share.
