5 Fresh Ideas to Renew Your Walls

Is it time to retire the accent wall?? You know, the one wall painted a different color. Try painting all your walls one color (or even keep your accent wall) and then add wall stickers! There are so many styles and ways to use them. They are fun, easy to apply, and won't harm your paint at all.

1. There's nothing fresher than polka dots and there are so many ways to use them. Try a random pattern, or create a path of bubbles or stepping stones to highlight a piece of art. They're lots of fun when combined with stripes too.

2. Entryways should be warm and welcoming. Make your entryway inviting with our teardrop design. Use it alone or in combination with other stickers from walldecorplusmore.com.

3. Do you envision a Victorian-theme nursery? Try our vintage floral pattern! It makes an elegant statement of refined sophistication. (It would look great in an adult bedroom or a dining room too!)

4. Circles can liven up a dreary space or add punch to a lively room. Who wouldn't enjoy doing laundry in the bright cheery laundry room shown below?!

5. If you've ever painted stripes on a wall, you know how tedious that can be! Taping and measuring–and they still turn out wavy or crooked. But with wall stickers, you can get all the snappy appeal of stripes without all the fuss! You'll still need to do some leveling with these wall sticker stripes but it won't take nearly as long as actually painting them and your results will be sharp and snazzy.

Creative Children's Bedroom Wall Decor

Time to spruce up your children's rooms? Get ideas from your kids themselves! It helps them care about their space and might even translate into a tidier room! That's a Win/Win!

Children grow and their tastes change. Choose decor that's also easy to change. If your kids share a room, make sure each child has a say in the decor choices.

Toy storage is a big concern in any child's room. Low shelves are easier to reach at playtime and cleanup time. Separate containers for different kinds of toys help keep order. Label each container with a picture. Less toys means less clutter, and more room to play.

Consider their hobbies and interests when choosing a theme for children's room decor. Try sports, music, art, or animals.

Choose paint colors that carry through your theme. Include your child's favorite color. Paint is easy to change later, and color can completely change the mood of the room.

Accessories can carry through the theme too. Choose easy-to-clean textiles for rugs, pillows, bedding, and curtains. Avoid pale solids that will show the dirt. Prints are fun and hide a lot!

Wall stickers are unbreakable, and don't need washing or dusting. Easy to apply and remove, they come in a huge variety of shapes, colors, and themes. What an easy way to get really creative!

Organize your cupboards by adding labels to the jars or containers! We have some labels specifically for this! Chalkboard vinyl was just added to our website and makes for super cute container labels!

Create a Personalized "Boy Cave" for Your Young Man

With the popularity of "man caves," your young man is sure to appreciate a private retreat of his own. Create it with his help–or surprise him with a cool new space of his own.

First, how does he use his space: to play? To hole up with video games or his computer? Is it just a restful place to sleep or a multi-purpose space?

Color always livens up a room. What are his favorites? Even if you can't paint the walls, bring in color with bedding, lamps, and other decor–like wall decals!

Think about his interests. For the boy who likes cars (or the boy who wants to keep sister out of his room!) check out the lively "Boys Only" wall sticker above. Does he have collections? Baseball hats, trains, shells, rocks, action figures–display these on the walls or in clear containers. He'll take pride in seeing his special things.

NauticalChart

Keep to your budget by shopping at thrift shops or rummage or garage sales. Repaint an old dresser a fresh new color. Special drawer pulls are always a fun touch (nautical, cars, animals)–so many ways to personalize that old dresser.

Check out the themes at digsdigs.com. Whether he's into astronauts, cowboys, cars, boats, music, or sports, you'll find ideas there. Make his retreat patriotic, or channel a pirate ship, or even a tree fort. There are so many wall decals to carry through with your theme. Don't forget the growth chart wall sticker so you can monitor how quickly your little boy is growing up!



We also have some great sports related wall decals! These would be ideal for that young man who really cares about nothing but sports.

Have fun giving your boy or young man a special place that reflects who he is and what he likes.
