One of the challenges with temporary living is creating your own style while dealing with drab white walls. Most landlords frown on repainting and wallpapering. Some don’t even want you to put holes in the walls using nails or pins. This is why wall stickers are the answer. They come in a wide range of subjects, styles and colors and you can mix and match to create a look that’s all your own.

Dorm rooms are notorious for being small, cramped, boring spaces and can be difficult and expensive to furnish. Wall decals are an easy way to add interest to any room and can be applied to mirrors, cabinets or furniture. What better way to express your personality? And the best part is that at the end of the year, they are easily removed without damaging surfaces.

Need bathroom decorating ideas? Apartment bathrooms are often small and dark with no windows. Condominium bathrooms often fair no better. If you live in a house you probably have more than one bathroom, and whether they’re large and have lots of window lighting or back to being small and dark, bathrooms are still a decorating challenge.

Wall Slicks wall decals are the answer. These wall decals are thin so they will stick to just about any surface, making them perfect for a bathroom. They are also made with a matte finish. That means that when they are applied to a surface they don’t look like shiny stickers. Instead, the design blends into the surface and looks like it was painted on by a professional, which will give your bathroom a professional interior designer look.

Wall Slicks offers many ideas for your bathroom design. Classic Sea Shell wall decals will give your bathroom a timeless look, and these wall decals come in an assortment of colors from butter to emerald, silver or gold, and everything in between.

You can always think do a contemporary modern theme and choose from the several geometric wall stickers available. It’s easy by choosing one bold color, such as red, for the wall decals and accessorizing with only that color throughout the bathroom for a monochromatic look. Or, make it easy by adding a neutral color, such as white or black, in with the bold color for added punch.

If the bathroom is used mainly by your children take a look at the wall decal designs that normally you would use to decorate a child’s bedroom, and instead use them in the bathroom. Or carry the wall decal theme you’re already using in their bedroom on into the bathroom. Nobody ever said you can’t have fun decorating a bathroom!

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.

Just moving into your first apartment and need ideas for decorating? Or, have you lived in your place for awhile but you need an apartment makeover? Here’s some budget decorating tips that will liven up your space while not breaking the bank.

Most apartments have all-white walls because many landlords do not allow residents to paint. But, don’t let that stifle your decorating sense! You can liven up a room with colorful curtains, pillows, lamps, candles, blankets, area rugs, and even wall decals.

How to Use Color
Warm colors help create a cozy feeling. These colors are: red-violet, red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, and yellow.
Cool make the space seem more spacious with a touch of elegance. These colors are: green, blue-green, blue, and blue-violet. White can have the same effect.
Depending on your style and the colors that convey the feeling you want, you can create a complete look just by sticking to a simple color palette. Just because you can’t paint the walls, does not mean you can’t paint your furniture! Stick to 2 – 3 colors that harmonize well together. You may even find some fabric or a rug as inspiration.

Bargain Furniture
Where can you find bargain furniture? Friends and family are a good place to start! Many people are storing unused end tables and chairs in their garage and would be happy for their furniture to find a new home in your space. Still need more? Try garage sales and thrift stores. Remember, fabric seat covers are easy to recover and faded wood furniture will pop with a coat of paint.

Keep it Simple
A small apartment will feel larger if you use cool colors, and minimal amounts of furniture. Avoid busy patterns that can overwhelm your room on items like curtains, tablecloths and bedspreads.

Vinyl wall decals are easy to take down when you move and won’t leave residue on the walls like paper backed stickers. It’s an inexpensive designer look for you that will also keep the landlord happy.
