Class up your joint with wall graffiti
It’s staring at you: a big blank wall, just crying out for a pop of color or a dramatic piece of art. If only you had the funds to buy a huge canvas, or the creativity to paint one yourself.
We had this problem when the StyleFeeder team moved to our new offices in lovely Cambridge, Massachusetts. Luckily, fellow Tastemaker Julieann had clued me in to a company called Wonderful Graffiti. She had used their wall decals for some of her interior design clients in the past and raved about the ease of application and graphic impact. So we decided to give their products a try.
We sent the Wonderful Graffiti designers our wall measurements, an approximation of our paint color, a file of our company logo, and some quotes we wanted to use to dress up the barren wasteland that is our conference room. We sent some proofs back and forth, and next thing we knew, several tubes of decal goodness arrived in our offices.
The first one was a bit challenging to apply, but once we had the method down, the rest went up with no issues. Check out these quotes on the wall of our conference room:
And the StyleFeeder logo dressing up our reception area:
For a few hundred bucks and a little elbow grease, we had professional looking corporate identity (much more affordable for a start-up company than expensive signage) AND some snazzy-looking conversation starters in our conference room. And they’ll come right off the wall when we leave, so our security deposit will remain intact.
Check out some other real-life applications in corporate, retail and home settings here. If you’ve got a corner that’s got you stumped, or you’re a renter looking to add some color without the ability to paint or wallpaper, Wonderful Graffiti might be for you!
