Wallpaper is a beautiful way to enhance any wall of your home, but, it is such a challenge to install and even less fun to remove! Plus, if you are renting an apartment or staying in a dorm room, wallpaper is just not an option. So, what’s a DIY decorator to do?

Try vinyl wall stickers. You can create hundreds of unique looks that give the feeling of wallpaper, without all the mess using Wall Slicks. Wall slicks come in over 40 colors and over 100 designs to create any look you want. Plus, if you don’t see exactly what you need, you can call about custom designs.

Wall decals offer so much variety and creativity that there’s just no limit to the looks you can create as you layer patterns and colors. See how these Bamboo wall decals create interest to this wall with a few dark green stalks serving as a focal point and the other reeds blending in more with the background in a color that’s a little darker than the wall to create depth.

The Paisley wall decals in this photo create a lovely balance to the wall with a combination of light and dark neutral shades. Could you tell that this was created with wall decals and not wallpaper?

Looking to add some zest and life into your space? Try using color and textures for some creative decorating. It’s a simple way to enhance your room that also won’t take up much of your time. Here’s 4 quick tips to make your room sing:

1. Rule of Three
   If you’re adding a new color into the room that is not currently a part of the design scheme, be sure to use it in three locations. For example, elegant wall stickers, throw pillows and a vase. Or, a rug, curtains and a carefully draped blanket.
2. Create Balance
   Find two colors you love and create harmony and balance with them by grouping different items that contain both of the colors. For example, if your accent pillow is patterned with plum and pale green, place it alongside a few other pillows that are a solid of your featured color. Choose different styles of fabric as well, silky smooth vs. nubby wool.
3. Same Theme – Variable Size (or Color)
   Here’s a fun tip that is modern, but still maintains a sense of uniformity. By keeping the same theme throughout the room, like stripes, you can add interest by either changing the width of the stripe or the color around the room. For example, if you cover all your chairs in a striped pattern, vary the pattern just slightly by allowing the stripes to have different widths, or colors. Looking for stripes on walls? Try stripes wall decals instead of painting.
4. Trust Your Instincts
   Sometimes you just know when it’s working. As you mix and match colors and textures in your room, you really just need to trust yourself. If it feels like it’s a hit, it probably is. Bottom line is that you are happy with the end result. So, add things, move them around, then stand back and take an objective look. If something needs to be removed, that’s OK too. If you’re unsure, leave it alone for a bit and go into another room. When you look again with fresh eyes, you’ll have your answer.

Looking for an easy way to decorate your apartment? Wall decals can be the answer! We know that DIY apartment decorating can have its own unique challenges. First, most apartments are usually on the small side, and secondly a lot of your creativity can be squelched by an unrelenting landlord.

Here’s where wonderful wall decals come in. So easy to apply - just peel and stick - and what’s even better (from your landlord’s perspective) is that they are easy to remove. With wall decals you can create just about any theme, look or mood in your apartment and not violate the landlord’s rules against any kind of permanent interior decorating.

Remember that even where space is limited, walls aren’t - there’s always plenty of wall space. When decorating both the living room and the bed room, choose a wall to be the focal point which makes the rest of the room seem wider and more open, and decorate that with your theme. Paint if you can, but if the landlord prohibits changing his white walls to anything else, never fear. The good news is that Wall Slicks wall stickers come in many different designs and in such a huge variety of colors that you’ll easily find exactly what you need to create the look you want.

The beauty of Wall Slicks wall decals is that they are thin and have a matte finish. The matte finish keeps them from looking like stickers. Instead, when applied they blend into the wall, and the design looks like it was painted on by a professional.

The thinness allows these wall decals to adhere to just about any surface. In small apartments bathrooms and kitchens are notorious for being the rooms that are dull and often dark. Spice up your kitchen and brighten up that bathroom with wall decals. Once you get started with wall decals your creativity will know no bounds, and you’ll have the classiest little apartment in the city.

Decorate the Walls
Vinyl wall decals are easy to apply, and remove, so they can stay up just for Valentine’s Day, or stick around for a romantic touch through-out the rest of the year. Just about any wall sticker design can work because they come in an array of colors including shades of red, pink, lavender and even white. You can even “Say It” with wall stickers that also come in letters and words. Splash romantic words or an original love poem across the wall to let your sweetie know just what’s in your heart.

Remember the Kitchen
Remember the kitchen can be a romantic spot, too. In addition to a bouquet of flowers on the table, try sugar-cookie scented candles or tea lights as a runner down the middle with a little heart shaped confetti sprinkled there too. Add a special set of red dishes just for the two of you and romance has never been so delicious.

Don’t Forget the Bedroom
A sensual and romantic bedroom can be achieved inexpensively. Layer colored linens in white and shades of red on the bed. Pop the romantic color with throw pillows you make yourself with silk scarves. Glue beads and crystals you can purchase at any craft store to the edge of lamp shades and voila!

Even the Bathroom Can Use a Little Love!
Red towels and scented candles always bring to mind romance, so, add them to the bathroom easily. Plus, wall decals stick to just about any surface, so you can carry your decorating theme to the bathroom on the mirrors, waste pails, and even cabinets to keep your Valentines theme dazzling every room in the house.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day a time when thoughts of love bring images of Hearts and Flowers. Why not treat yourself, or your sweetie, to some hearts and flowers that will last for years to come, not just a few days. Decorate the house with Valentines inspired wall stickers for a great design you can put up just for the holiday, or year round.

Here’s some great suggestions to get you in the Valentines spirit! If you’re feeling inspired by a hearts theme, we suggest the Roxie wall stickers for a modern touch or the classic Heart decals to get your house decked out in a Valentines mood.

If the look of flowers is more your style, try the Flowers decals for a fun and fresh look or Baroque wall stickers for a romantic look of roses.

Want to create a big impact on your kitchen decorating? Try wall decals. If you haven’t seen them before, vinyl wall stickers are the newest innovation in home decorating. What makes them so easy to use? All you do is peel and stick and you can achieve a very professionally decorated look that appears like a painted stencil, but is so much easier (and faster) to do.

Painted images have a matte look and are a seamless part of the wall. With vinyl wall stickers you can achieve that same look without the mess and trouble of paint. Most walls have an “orange peel” texture and wall decals easily apply over that giving the appearance of a painted decoration.

Try Flowers, Stripes, circles, or even Country/Cottage and High Style/French. With so many designs and over 40 colors to choose from, you can get the look you’ve always wanted for your DIY decorating kitchen project. Skip the paint and use wall stickers for a beautiful look you’ll be happy to entertain in.
