Decorate With Wall Decals

Enhance a wall with decorative wall decals.


Use eye-catching decals to add pizazz to plain walls. You can create any type of decor theme using simple peel-and-stick wall decals. Wall decals aren't permanent, so feel free to get creative with colors and patterns. Enhance any neutral-hued space with vibrant decals. If you are redecorating a room on a budget, using decals is less expensive than hanging wallpaper; decals are also easier to remove when you tire of the look.


Instructions


1. Paint the walls with a color that coordinates with the wall decals. For zoo-themed decals in a child's room, choose soft yellow, orange or light green paint. Complement floral wall decals with pink or lavender-hued walls. Allow the paint to dry prior to decorating with the decals. If you choose not to apply a fresh coat of paint, make sure the walls are clean before applying the decals.


2. Peel the backing off of the decals and press them onto the wall. Create a decal border around the ceiling or the middle of the room. Arrange the decals in a square patchwork formation behind a bed or work desk. Use decals featuring various types of flowers, such as tulips and roses, to enhance a garden-themed bathroom. Choose vibrantly hued surfboard decals to decorate a beachy bedroom.


3. Use decals to accent windows and doorways. Apply themed decals all around windows featuring boring curtains or blinds. Choose red and yellow rooster decals to enhance the windows in a country French-styled kitchen. Pick colorful parrot decals to trim a door in a rain forest-inspired bedroom.


4. Add an elegant touch to any room using mirrored decals. Apply peel-and-stick butterfly, snowflake or floral-shaped mirrored decals to dining room, living room, bathroom or bedroom walls for sophisticated style. Customize the mirrored decal shapes to reflect specific holidays and seasons.








5. Light up a child's bedroom with glow-in-the-dark wall decals. Create a universe-inspired design on a wall using sun, moon, star and planet-shaped decals.
