Looking to refresh your home or office? Wall decals are the ultimate solution. Here are a few ideas on how to do it the best way.
Designing your home matters, because our décor reflects our personality, and the right design can give us a sense of home, maximum comfort and beauty.
One way to decorate your home and turn it into your dream home is to add color to the walls. But painting usually requires professionals and clearing out the house for days or even weeks. On top of that, some paints contain toxins and aren’t suitable for every room in the house.
To add design elements and refresh your home with a bit of color, you don’t have to be a designer or a painter, because today there’s a new, simple trend for adding color to a space: wall decals.
Wall decals are a great alternative to old-fashioned wallpaper; the only difference is that they’re simpler and faster to use. Decals need no prior knowledge or experience, they’re very easy to apply and can be removed whenever you like, which makes them an excellent solution for renters.
The advantage of wall decals is that they come in different sizes, bright colors and lots of special shapes. You can find graphic decals, wise sayings and quotes and characters loved by adults and kids alike. This wide variety, together with the ability to apply them to almost any surface, means decals can be used in every room of the house and matched fully to any decor style.
In kids’ rooms, for example, you can use decals made for children, from favorite cartoon characters to safari animals, butterflies, flowers and many more beautiful, special designs. The decals come in a range of colors and sizes and can be grouped together or scattered across the wall. The nice thing about wall decals is that as the kids grow, you can remove them and replace them with others, adapting the room’s design to your child’s age and development.
Wall decals are also very popular in offices. The difference between designing an office and a home is that an office needs to create a good, relaxed atmosphere that helps boost employee motivation, so they can be more productive and efficient. At the same time, an office is a place potential clients walk into, and we want to make a good first impression.
When designing an office, it’s important not to overdo the details, so the space feels open and orderly, and to use understated decals in soft colors. In office design you can also use graphic wall decals or even apply the company logo to brand the space. You can also use words of wisdom or the owners’ personal motto, the one that represents them best.
Wall decals open the door to creativity in the living room as well as in family rooms and bedrooms, and it’s best to use them wisely to achieve the effect you want. If your home draws inspiration from nature, there are plenty of wall decals that can complement that central theme, and if your home is modern, there are all kinds of decals that will only add to it.
Before choosing a decal, be clear about the feeling you’re trying to create. And despite how easy decals are to apply and how wide the selection is, don’t load too many elements into one space, because clutter can make a room feel smaller. Matching wall decals to your room’s design is a fun, inviting trend that gives a room maximum color and style with minimum effort.
