Just starting out with your kids room decorating or looking to refresh a current space? Being creative with your use of color can inspire enthusiasm and creativity in children of all ages! Finding a color scheme that pleases both the parent and child is the winning combination. Not sure where to turn for inspiration? Here’s some tips.
Primary Colors
Primary colors are a classic theme. There’s a lot you can do combining red, yellow and blue together with varying intensity. If you like a bold look, choose fire engine red, sunshine yellow and royal blue. Looking for a more sophisticated way to incorporate these colors? Consider cranberry, golden amber and navy. Finally, pastel lovers can go with light pink, butter yellow and sky blue. Based on their relationship to each other on the color wheel, these colors work well together, as long as you keep the intensity the same.
Add Personal Touches to Furnishings
You don’t have to replace furnishings to coordinate them with the style of your room. Those with artistic talent can paint free hand designs or stencils on their furniture to match it with the color palette, wall décor or theme of the room. An easier option is wall decals which can be used both on the wall and on the furniture. Available in over 40 colors, Wall Slicks is sure to have a color to suit your project. See the color swatches online or request one via mail for a perfect match.

Don’t Forget the Floor
If you have wooden floors, Wall Stickers can add a great accent on the floors too. This is especially true with our Race Track design. Great for a built in, custom play area. And, when the kids outgrow it, it’s easy to remove with no residue left behind.
Theme Rooms

I’m sure you’ve seen wall stickers at your local store in the home decorating aisle or crafting section. There are other companies, besides Modern Wall Graphics the Original Wall Decal Store, out there offering cute designs to accent and DIY decorate your home or kids rooms and you may have been excited to try them on your wall. But, I’m willing to guess that you were disappointed with the result, and not because of the design you chose or where you placed it, but, because a few days or weeks after you installed it, the sticker started to peel up and away from the wall. Even pressing it back down against the wall again didn’t help, right? This is probably because the wall decal you purchased was made of plastic.
Wall Slicks wall decals are not made of plastic, but rather a malleable vinyl that not only adheres well to the wall, but, follows any contours it may have so that the wall sticker almost looks like a painted stencil when finished and not a sticker at all. The vinyl material in Wall Slicks also has a matte finish and that means it won’t look shiny, again helping it blend in with the wall, looking more like it was professionally painted on.
The great thing about Wall Slicks is that once you place it on the wall, it stays there until you are ready to remove it. No peeling away from the wall, ever. Just keep the sheet it comes on along with the clear top sheet and if you ever need to reposition or remove the decal, you’re all set. It’s strong enough to stay put, but, easy enough to take down with no residue left behind. Who could ask for anything more!

Looking for a decorative headboard idea for the bedroom? Look no further than Modern Wall Graphics wall decals. Wall Slicks are an inexpensive solution to a traditional headboard. And, when you want to change your look, it’s very easy to do, without the remorse of wasting money on what you might have spent for a wooden, metal or traditional fabric covered headboard option.
Wall stickers are a great way to achieve any look in your bedroom and it’s easy to do yourself. See below how we used our Picket Fence wall decals to create this unique headboard. Once you have this look, you can expand it by mixing and matching it with other country Wall Slicks in the series or our other plants and flowers wall stickers we have available.
This is a great solution for kid’s rooms! Once the crib is gone and you buy the “big kid” mattress, the headboard piece can be very costly. Try creating one with wall stickers and your kids will love the results. We have Checkers, Stripes and even Lace. Get creative and see what you can design. The sky’s the limit with Wall Slicks.

Think a sticker cannot achieve an elegant decorative look in your home? Think again! With Wall Slicks by Modern Wall Graphics, your room can have style and pizzazz and it can all be achieved without the use of paint. Painting decorative images on your wall is a nice look, but, stencils are hard to work with because they never really stay inside the lines and very few people have the artistic talent to paint their own designs.
You Don’t Have to Be an Artist
With Wall Slicks wall stickers, no artistic talent is needed to get the look you’ve always dreamed of. And, depending on the design you choose, you could complete your DIY decorating project in as little as 30 minutes! Now, the more ornate design you choose, the more time it will take, but, a beautiful room can be yours within a day and you’ll be pleased with the results for years to come.
What if My Styles Changes?
But, now you’re thinking, but, what do I do when my style changes and I want a new look? Wall Slicks wall decals are easy to remove and they don’t leave any residue behind on your wall. This actually makes them perfect for dorm rooms, kids rooms (since they are known for changing their mind) and apartments that you rent (where may not have the approval to paint).
Take a look at this photo of our Rococo wall stickers to get an idea of what you can create. Happy decorating!

If being green in your home and office is important to you, you’ll be happy to know that Wall Slicks, the original wall decals, are Green certified.
Wall Slicks wall decals are a great way to design your own professional look on home or office walls and the vinyl used to create the product has been certified by Det Norske Veritas. This means that the product has met the standards to reduce environmental impact. The raw vinyl, manufactured by Orafol Europe, and its US subsidiary, Oracal USA, has the most green process of any vinyl manufacturer. Plus, they are constantly looking for ways to improve their processes, reduce waste, pollution and offset their environmental footprint.
In addition to the vinyl that the decal is made of, the water-based adhesive used to apply the decals also contains no-odor or volatile chemical content. This is the perfect solution for decorating in kids rooms and baby nurseries. You want to create a healthy environment for your children, even in your decorating. In addition to being happy with how visually appealing it is, knowing that the “Baby Blocks”, “Train” or “Princess” design you chose for their wall is not omitting any toxic chemicals is a good feeling.

If you want to change the look of your room, or even enhance a style you already have, Wall Slicks decals is the answer. Not only can use it on your walls, but also on your windows and even plastic or metal items. Because it can be applied to so many surfaces, and is available in so many sizes and colors, it makes pulling together a complete look quick and easy. Here’s some examples on how to do it yourself:
In the Kitchen:
- Use on the walls for the main focal point.
- Add smaller accent pieces to the windows or sliding doors.
- Complete the look with additional accent pieces on plain color plastic placemats, trash cans or even on the fridge itself.
- Decorate a clock face with decals.
- Frame the decals for a completely different look.
In the Kids Room:
- Use on the walls as a mural, main focal point or to simulate a wallpaper border near the ceiling.
- Perfect for over the crib where you might be concerned framed artwork could fall.
- Lay the decal on white or colored cardboard or mat board and frame it in a picture frame.
- Use smaller accent pieces on plain plastic storage boxes for added flair.
- Put designs on the plastic diaper pail, or outside of the crib.
Down the Hallway:
- Use on a piece of clear substrate, shine a light behind, and mount to wall to create a unique wall sconce.
- Frame them in individual small frames for a repeated design in a multitude of colors, or just one color repeated, or a monochromatic color scheme.
- Create depth by choosing the same design in different colors light to dark and layer them.
If you have an area in your room that needs more privacy and safety like a window, sliding door, privacy screen or clear plastic shower curtain, Wall Slicks are perfect for that too. You can even use them on car door, windows and bikes.
To add finishing touches to the room, consider an accent rug, pillows, a blanket throw or placemats in coordinating colors to pull all the elements together. It’s quick and easy and you’ll be done in no time and ready to entertain.
