A Little Advice for Jazzing Up That Boys Room

Okay, so we have talked about redoing a girl's room a few times already, so I believe it is only fair that we focus on the boys now! It was definitely a challenge finding these ideas. There are just so many more ideas for redecorating a girl's room than for the boys! It must be because boys aren't nearly as picky as girls about what goes in their room, as long as they can play and make a mess in it.

 Let's get started!

On a budget? No problem! Shop at rummage/garage sales or thrift shops! You can find some truly wonderful things for a great price! For example, someone might be getting rid of an old dresser, and you see it and think all it needs is a little varnish and a fresh coat of paint!

Speaking of paint, a new color instantly brings new life into a room! Ask your boy (or boys), what his favorite color is and then incorporate it into the decor! Find a new color at your local home improvement store, like Lowe's, Menards or the Home Depot.

Is he into astronauts at the moment? Cowboys? Boats? Cars? Sports? Find all sorts of awesome design ideas at digsdigs.com. They have all of the above and more! Find a patriotic theme, a guitar theme, or even a tree fort theme! So cool!

Another affordable way to decorate is to use wall decals! Going with a pirate theme? We have a pirate ship and quote, even a growth chart, that would be perfect!

We also have some great sports related wall decals! These would be ideal for that young man who really cares about nothing else but sports, cars and girls.

Well folks, I tried to find more but I'm running out of time! I hope these ideas help you find a new idea for your boy's room!

Have fun and have a wonderful weekend!!

April Showers Bring...Splatter and Splotches!

It's inevitable. Spring is here, and that means the mud has arrived too. This usually means a messy house with tracks and splatters of mud everywhere, especially if you have little ones or a dog! My puppy has decided he loves the mud and likes to try to bring some inside.

There is one way you can enjoy the mud splatters! I know, I know, you think I'm crazy right now. But it's true! Wall Decor Plus More offers Splatter and Splotches Wall Stickers in a wide variety of colors. So you won't even have to see all that mud!

Our adorable mud splatters come in a set of 13 pieces, ranging from 1.75" - 5". We offer 33 colors to choose from and as you can see in the photo to the right, multiple sheets can be used to cover a wide area.

They are also super easy to put up! It has a simple peel n stick application (see video). We had so much fun putting them up! As you can also see, some of the splatters are layered, so they actually look like they were thrown up against the wall.

So, if you're looking for some decoration that is mess-free, colorful, cute and child-friendly, check them out on our website!

P.S. Sometimes the mud is unavoidable but turn cleaning up into a fun project for the kids to help you with instead of looking like the lady above :) Or I guess you can just get the spring cleaning started early!

Room Ideas For Kids

Do you need some ideas for decorating kids rooms?
The best way to get good ideas is to ask your children! Involving your children in the decorating process can be rewarding for both you and them.

Be prepared for their tastes to change as they grow older, so be careful not to get too trendy with the decorating. Passing fads can fade pretty quickly, leaving them with a room that they don't like anymore.

Preschool Child's Room

Storing Toys -  Using shelves with containers that are easy to reach will make clean up time easier for them. Remember, the fewer toys they have, the less clutter there is. There is also more room to play with fewer toys. 
Save the more delicate items for storage on top shelves or out of the line of sight.
Painting  - it's fun and easy to use bright colors in a kid's room.  It's relatively easy to change later and will give them a sense of personal space if their room is different.


Hobbies - What hobbies or interests do they have? If they are involved with sports, that can be incorporated into the decorating as well.
Accessories - keep rugs, pillows,bedding, curtains, etc. in easy-to-clean textiles. Avoid white or cream solids that will get dirty easily.
Wall Decor - It's so nice not to worry about the kids breaking things, so use one of the easiest ways to decorate your child's room. Try wall stickers! Easy to apply and remove, they come in a wide variety of shapes, sayings, art forms.
