The quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to give your room a new and bold look is adding decals to your walls. They have been around for a while, and you can find them in ever-increasing variations of shapes and colors.

Below are some ideas for your next quick and easy redecoration.

Wall decals work best on smooth surfaces, and are very easy to use and apply. They are virtually foolproof. If you mess up, they are easily removed and reapplied.

Wall decals do not harm your walls when you take them off, so they are great for people who are renting and want to be able to remove decoration easily with no damages.

If you would like a customized wall decal in a particular shape, size, or color there are several Etsy stores that are willing to help you with making your wall decal idea come through. Check out Singlestonestudios and Shanon1972.

So you want to give your space a face lift and get a fresh look. Why not make your walls stand out? I already covered photo wallpaper and photo tiles in a posting on customizing your space with your photos. Let’s see what other alternatives there are beyond good old paint and common wallpaper…

Transparent concrete walls requires some planning ahead, and most of us are stuck with already existing walls. But don’t despair! There a lots of ways to make your walls stand out without rebuilding them from scratch.

Light Emitting Wallpaper

The Dutch designer Jonas Samson has designed light-emitting wallpaper. It looks pretty interesting, but his website doesn’t explain the details of the concept. In particular, it doesn’t explain how you make your walls light up. It looks to me like his wallpaper requires entire light walls, in which case, it will involve a considerable amount of work. Let’s find an easier way to decorate our walls shall we?
