Wall Stickers Decor: Art for Kids and Adults

No one wants to live in a dull, bland room. Plain walls have often been decorated with stamps and stencils, but these can be difficult and messy to apply. Now trend-conscious homeowners are discovering the fun of stickers and the many ideas and options of wall stickers decor.

Nothing could be simpler than peeling off the backing paper and applying these designs to your walls or ceiling; they are cheap and need no special preparation. And a further bonus is that if you get tired of them, they can easily be peeled off again, so you can experiment without any risk of spoiling your room. You can even reuse the old stickers in other locations.

Wall stickers decor can be used anywhere you have a nice smooth wall, but is not recommended for textured surfaces such as roughcast plaster, textured wallpapers or brickwork.

Children have always loved stickers, decorating their rooms, their toys, closet doors, computers, and bed headboards with stickers of animals, cartoon characters and other pictures for a colorful look. But do not get the idea that wall stickers are only for kids - they are an easy way to add glamour and glitz to any room and can easily be part of a sophisticated grown up look as well as a youngster's room.

Wall stickers decor can be cheerful or chic, with many designs available ranging from simple motifs like flowers, stars and birds to more complex branches or swags of leaves, curlicues, funky lettering and designs taken from contemporary or classical art. Do you want a Mona Lisa on your chimney wall? Alternatively, do you dream of a Warhol-esque portrait of Marilyn? Wall stickers can do this for you without a drop of paint being involved - or any artistic ability on your part.

Ideas for sticker fun start in the nursery, with a multitude of charming ideas for baby's room. You can have teddy bears, rabbits, ducklings and Jack-in-the box all around the walls, or keep them to a colorful border that tones with the shades you have chosen for the room. As baby gets older they will delight him, and of course, they can easily be changed as he grows out of baby toys.

Wall stickers for kids rooms

Older children's rooms too can benefit from wall stickers decor, with cars, trucks and planes for boys' rooms and flowers, princesses, dolls and fairies for girls. Again, these stickers can be peeled away and changed for more mature themes as the child grows up.

Decorative wall decals

In the other rooms, sticker art can be used to create an artistic, relaxing, or fun feel. Try leaping frogs with water birds in your bathroom for a humorous look, or a fun silhouette, perhaps a mermaid or voluptuous bathing beauty.

Create a relaxed feel in your study with wall stickers decor featuring the written word, favorite quotations from poetry perhaps, or just the word "relax" in different shades and sizes. You would be surprised how effective this can be.

In addition, do not forget a wall sticker can come in very handy if you have a dirty mark or scratch on the wall and do not have time to redecorate the whole room - just slap a pretty sticker over it.
