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!”

Here’s a little DIY decorating story about our Facebook contest winner, Dani from the United Kingdom. She recently sent us a photo from her room redesign she did using Goth Wall Slicks. Danielle, a young college student, is actually quite a great Do-It-Yourself decorator! Right now, she’s living in a shared house, so, her personal space is her bedroom. She really wanted her room to reflect her unique personality which she calls “not a girly girl but not a tomboy either.”

She painted her walls a lovely light lilac color and kept them mostly plain so it wouldn’t make her small space feel cramped. Just a few pictures and a mirror for accents, and underneath the mirror is a shelf. It was the swirly black metal shelf brackets that inspired her accessories and why the Goth wall decals were a perfect fit and really got her creative juices flowing once she won the contest. With her “swirly” design in mind, she found great bedding that was black and white with swirls and flowers (very similar to the gothic decals.)
“Because the majority of my furniture is dark I wanted to keep the room feeling light so opted for white woodwork - skirting boards, door and the built in wardrobe doors,” Danielle tells us. “The room was certainly lighter but the wardrobe doors seemed so blank and boring I really wanted to spice them up. Looking through your web site I saw the gothic decals and instantly had idea’s running through my head, waiting in eager anticipation I drew up sketches of my room, ordered a few new pieces of furniture (nothing fancy just a bookcase and a bedside table, and a few accessories like a candlestick) then as soon as the decals arrived I set to work and using the decals brought the wardrobe doors to life.”

Here’s Danielle’s photo of her wardrobe doors embellished with wall slicks!

Danielle also went on to say, “I was shocked firstly by how easy the decals were to use, but also how effective they were in transforming the doors. From dull brown wood to magnificent in less than half an hour!”
We’re so excited the Goth Wall Slicks worked for you, Danielle and thanks for sharing your DIY decorating story with us!
