It’s time to talk about the modern decorating style. This is another installment in our Three Steps to Define Your Decorating Style series. Last time we discussed the Classic decorating style and in this article we will discuss what it means to have a Modern Style.
Being modern decorator is a fresh, fun and contemporary. The look is edgy, urban and colorful. The furnishings are kept simple and the eyes are drawn to bold accents and colors. Images to inspire you could be a downtown loft, a Modern Art museum and even architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
If you are modern, you’ll want to decorate with:

• Clean lined furniture with no embellishments on the legs.
• Strong blocks of color
• Geometric and abstract patterns (easy to layer and create with Wall Slicks)
• Boxy shaped sofas
• A mix of natural wood colors both light and dark

Wall Slicks that go well with this style are: Checkers wall stickers, Mechanix wall decals and our Zebra Stripes wall stickers.

And with over 40 colors to choose from, finding just the right bold color for your room will be a snap.

In our next post, we will go into details on what defines the Cozy Style. Until then, happy DIY decorating from your friends at Wall Slicks, the Original Wall Decal Store.

Spring has arrived and for most of us that means cleaning up and getting rid of the clutter that has accumulated over the winter. With the warmer weather many of us are outside working in the yard and planning our gardens, but why stop there?

Spring is also a good time to consider sprucing up the inside of our homes and the best way to make fast and easy décor changes is to do-it-yourself with wall stickers. In just minutes you can change the look of a room without the mess, fuss or expense of painting or wall papering. Wall stickers come in a wide range of patterns and a rainbow of colors that would enhance any room.

Why not add some whimsy with an underwater scene in a child’s bedroom, or a bit of elegance in a hall or bathroom by framing a mirror with tree branches and birds.

For a sleek modern look in an office area add a border of brightly colored geometric shapes or for a high fashion look in the dining room add a rich looking stripe, baroque or diamond pattern to one wall.

Celebrate spring with a new look in your home today. There’s never been a better time for “out with the old” and “in with the new!”
