If you’ve been hesitant to take on that home decorating project due to the time commitment, we have an idea that will bring you beautiful results in 30 minutes, or less. Use Wall Slicks wall decals from Modern Wall Graphics. Wall Slicks are quick and easy to apply, just peel and stick! No artistic or technical skill is required. Depending on the size of decal you choose, most can be applied to one wall in about 30 minutes. It can even take less time, depending on the number of decals you’ve selected. For example, if you just wanted to put a cluster of Sea Shell decals as an accent in your bathroom, that would definitely be a quick project. Don’t forget to save the backings your Wall Slicks come on, in case you need to re-position or plan to remove them in the future. You’ll want to keep your applicator tool in a handy spot as well.

As you’re planning your project, keep in mind that Accent Packs contain enough decals to decorate 2-3 areas of a room. Whereas the Wall Packs contain enough decals to create a pattern wallpaper look on 1-2 walls of a room, depending on how closely the decals are placed. We are calculating an average room being 8 feet tall and 12 feet long in size. If you are looking to put up a few Accents around the room, this can definitely be accomplished in a 30 minute time-frame. You’ll want to allow more time if you plan to decorate with one of our Wall Packs and achieve a wall paper like look. We would estimate that a project like that would require several hours considering you’ll want to take the time to measure and line the decals up in a straight line using the spacer dots to mark your spot before applying the decals. Remember, once you apply a few, you’ll get the hang of it and be quicker with each one. Before you know it, you’re done in no time. Even the kids can help!

More intricate and larger Wall Slicks may require additional time to apply as well, but, in general, you can have a complete look in just 30 minutes. So, don’t wait to get your decorating project underway. You can have beautiful walls in just minutes with Wall Slicks.

Everyone wants a beautifully decorated home, and it’s great to save money during the process. You can achieve a professionally decorated look in your home even if you do-it-yourself. These basic tips will serve for any room in your house: kitchen, dining room, living room, kids room, baby nursery, bed room and bath room. Try these suggestions for a complete look you’ll be happy with every day and proud to show off at your next gathering:

1. Paint! Yes, it’s simple, but, just a paint color can change the entire mood of your house and it’s very easy to do in a weekend. Go to the home improvement store and browse all the paint chips available. Purchase 3 – 4 small cans of the colors you are considering. Paint a small patch, (about 6” square), of each color you like in the desired room. Once it dries, look at it for a few days or a week, during different times a day (because lighting effects the color), and see if it conveys the feeling you intended. When you’ve found the one you like, paint the whole wall. You can also paint just the top or bottom half of a wall, and cut the middle visually with wood molding or even wall decal stripes or borders.
2. Accessorize. Keep those paint chips you started with and look at the tints (adding white) and shades (adding black) to help you find coordinating colors for room accents. Accents can be a variety of things: pillows, rugs, throw blankets, shelf accessories like candles and vases, etc… Decide if you like a monochromatic theme which is tints and shades of one color (like blue), or pick 2 - 3 colors in a similar value that complement each other (check your color wheel) and stick with just those 3 to achieve a harmonious look (ie. Blue, peach (a tint of orange which is blues complimentary color) and a warm yellow (yellow is right next to orange on the color wheel).
3. Add Accents. Hang artwork such as posters or paintings or even a rug draped over a dowel rod. Or, try something new by using wall decals that look like stencil painting. It’s easy to do and with Wall Slicks brand decals, you can re-position them if you make a mistake. They come in 40 colors and a multitude of designs to accent any color or theme you’ve chosen. You can even frame them for completely different look. Just some of the design styles include: modern, country, nature, classic, high style, and kids (teens, tweens and babies).

Get creative! If you’re not sure where to start, pull photos you like from magazines, and keep a “decorating binder” for inspiration. You can tear out sheets because you liked a certain color, or found inspiration in a nature scene, or even saw a look in a decorating magazine that was just want you had in mind: colors, accents, furniture, etc…. Keep the binder of images with you when doing your shopping at the home improvement or decorating store so you don’t forget the colors and theme you are going for. The possibilities are endless when you do it yourself. Tap into your creativity and create a beautiful room today.
