We Are Featuring Our Coolest Wall Decals This Month!

Hello there,

We have a whole bunch of new Wall Decal designs that I would like to share with you! 

First up, we have our Caution Boys Decal Sticker to make a Gadget Board!  We spray painted a board bright yellow, and then we added the "Caution: Boys at Play" Decal with stripes. Once that was done, we added gadgets! A key and lock, door stop and fence latch are only a few ideas!  The gadgets can get costly so we offer the Caution Boys decal in a small or large size.  We have the small size displayed here.  You can see the larger size in action HERE.

Second, we have our 'Masterpieces' Wall Decal! We were contacted by a customer to design a wall decal like one she had found on, yea you guessed it, on Pinterest. She wanted to put this above her children's art! So we came up with a few designs and this was the favorite. Naturally, we had to add this wall decal to our system to share the fun with you!

And then we have a few more new wall decals, that we didn't do projects with but are still really cute!

5 Ways to Guide Wedding Guests

Is your wedding reception a little far out in the country, or maybe a little hard to find? There are plenty of ways to help keep guests on the right track! Another thing that wedding guests may find somewhat confusing is what side to sit on. Help them out! Make a giant sign that no one could miss, and place it near the ceremony site.

Here are just a few tips to help you guide your guests, so that you can have a smooth wedding!

1. Buy a 30"x20" poster board, the wall sticker shown in the picture on the left. Then, put the sticker on the board and voila! You have a beautiful sign that none of your guests will miss!

2. Directions can be challenging even for the best navigators. So, help out your direction-challenged guests and make a road sign! This will help direct them to where your wedding reception is, and will also keep stragglers to a minimum, so the fun can begin on time!

3. Get creative and paint wooden signs! You know, the ones that are in the shape of an arrow? Those look so awesome and would be great with an outdoor theme wedding! Find ideas on Pinterest or have one made from Etsy!

4. Use balloons to mark the road where your reception site is located! Don't be afraid to use a giant bundle of them. Get them done in your colors, and add a wooden sign with them. Or spell out the bride and groom's name on all the balloons!

5. Another creative idea for directions would be to make a card for guests! Written directions (as shown on the right) as well as a map would be extremely helpful to all!

Don't become too stressed out by all the little details of planning a wedding that you can't enjoy it! Delegate these smaller tasks out to bridesmaids or your maid of honor. I know they would be thrilled to help you out in any way they can.

Happy planning!

5 Simple Steps to Choosing Wall Decal Colors

How do you choose a wall decal color? There are 30-60 wall sticker color options and you have to pick JUST ONE!  Read on for help in deciding on the best wall sticker color choice.
 

1. Look at what surface color you are putting the wall sticker on.  Is your wall color a darker color (burgundy, dark brown, or burnt orange), or a lighter shade (white, beige, light gray, pastel blue)?  The medium shades, like tan, can be a little more tricky.  

*Remember, if you have just painted your wall, you will need to allow the paint to cure for 2 weeks before applying wall decals.  This curing process will make it easier to remove the wall decal without harming your paint.
 

2. Now you need to consider what effect you want for your wall decal.  Do you want the wall decal to POP and really stand out on the wall?  Or do you prefer a muted, almost blended, design?
 

3. Go ahead and choose a color! If you want a wall decal that will POP, you want to pick a contrasting color choice.  Example: Placing a white wall decal on a dark brown wall, as shown above left. Your eye is instantly drawn to the PLAY BALL wall decal because it stands out nicely!
 

4. If you want the wall decal to be more muted, you will pick something that is a little closer to your wall color.  Example:  a light grey wall decal on a medium gray wall.  Ideal wall decals in this case, would be floral wall decals or art wall sticker designs that you want to be appear more like wallpaper or a mural.  Our vintage floral wall stickers is great example of this.

Here is an example of a light wall decal (White) placed on a medium shade wall.

  

5. If you have a simple photo editing program on your computer, you can get an idea of how your wall decal will look also.  Do this by starting with a square or background color the same as your wall. Then add some text in your wall decal color choice.  Now you can see if the wall decal "pops" or "blends".  Try a few different colors to see which looks best.  Keep in mind, this digital preview does not factor in lighting variances, which can also affect how your wall decal will appear on the wall.

The key in choosing a wall decal color is in the CONTRAST.  Make sure there is a contrast between your wall decal color and your wall color. 

On a side note, be wary of glossy wall decals! They are a cheaper quality material that can harm your walls. But they can also mess up how well they look on the wall.  The lighting in your room varies the appearance of glossy wall decals, and it makes planning much more difficult.

I hope this helps you decide on a wall sticker color, and come check out Wall Decor Plus More for a large variety of sticker choices!

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.

4' x 4' area using about 4 sheets of stickers

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!

It's Time...For Spring!!!

Hello all! It is officially spring! Yay! How about airing out the house and getting it ready to be just as fresh as the new season? Here are a few tips on how to make your home feel refreshed!

1. Make a new kitchen back splash! With what you say? Remember those dishes you really liked and then one broke, and you saved the pieces because ONE day you would fix it? Turn them into mosaic pieces for your new backsplash!

2. Add a new rug! Go to your local home improvement stores, look into flat weave rugs, and figure out which one has the best prices. Flat weave means that it is made with a loom rather than being knotted. It is flat on the floor and doesn't rise up like a thicker rug does.

3. Add some fresh looks to your family room! Paint it, add a new chair or even add some wall art! Bring in the new season with a fun saying on a canvas board. Put a wall sticker in the sun room or on an old window frame.

4. Paint your furniture! Add color to your house this spring by refinishing that old bed or dresser that is becoming an eyesore. Make it stand out!

Find at: www.walldecorplusmore.com!

5. Throw a colorful blanket over the back of the sofa. Adding a splash of color to a room helps brighten the room and make it seem bigger. Spring seems to do that to the brain too. It becomes so renewed that you will soon be bursting at the seams to find a new project to do!

6. Sit on your porch or deck and just relax! Spring has finally come! Okay, so it's not really a tip for your home, but hey if you feel refreshed that helps your home too.

Custom Designs from Wall Decor Plus More

Check out our custom words category on our website!

Have you ever wanted to customize or personalize a specific part of your house? Maybe the living room, family room or kitchen? I have the answer for you! Wall Decor Plus More offers custom word wall sticker designs and personalization. We can take any font that you like and turn it into the design you've always dreamed of.

An example of how we do custom designed wall stickers are in the picture to the left. My mom was looking for something to spruce up her kitchen  a bit. So she called me. She told me what she wanted, and I sent her a few different variations of the kitchen words she was looking for.  

The wall stickers are all different languages which roughly translate to "Eat Well" in English. The first (starting left to right) is Spanish. The next one is Dutch (because my mom immigrated from the Netherlands as a girl), and the third one is French.

These wall stickers are in chocolate brown, and are about 3 inches tall each. The font for each is different as well. For "salud", we used Vivaldi. It is a scrolling type of font. For "eet smakelijk", we used Benguiat. This is, as you can see, one of the bolder fonts. "Bon appetit" is actually a design that we have on www.WallDecorPlusMore.com, that we offer in the sizes 23"x7" or 36"x11".

Another way you can customize your home is by putting your name on it. Literally! Add a personalized wall sticker, like the one to the right!

This particular sticker is actually mine. I have it on the old beam running down the middle of our two rooms. I was sick of looking at the empty space and this wall sticker filled it up perfectly! I am so happy with it.

It is about 36 inches long and 10 inches high. I also added the names on the bottom of it. We could easily add your families' names to it! I also made the wall sticker in chocolate brown.  It took me a bit to get it up as I had to get up on a ladder to put it up
, but the end result is beautiful!

Check out www.walldecorplusmore.com if you would like to order your own personalized wall sticker now!

Have a great day!

Helping Out Our Friends at Special Spaces

Heather, Ana, Ana's brother, and Kim

Just over 2 weeks ago, we were contacted by Kim. She is the volunteer director of the Special Spaces chapter in Philadelphia/Newark DE. They are a non-profit and do bedroom makeovers for very sick children with life-threatening illnesses.

She wanted to know if we would be willing to donate some of our large zebra dot wall stickers for, Ana, a little girl who has a love of all things zebra and jungle themed.

Ana has an inoperable brain tumor, and so Special Spaces wanted to do all they could to make what could possibly be her last year, an awesome one.

Of course we said yes! It is an amazing thing this non-profit is doing for these kids!

We definitely wanted to be a part of it, so we sent out our turquoise and black zebra dot wall stickers.

Ana loved it! The expression on her face (on Special Spaces Delaware/Newark/Philly Facebook album titled: Ana's Makeover 3/12/14) is so precious!

Ana's Toy Chest With Zebra Dots

She was so excited about everything! We love how they used our zebra dot wall stickers for Ana's new toy box! They turned out super cute! See the whole room by going to Special Spaces' Facebook page!

The gals here at Wall Decor Plus More couldn't be more honored and happy to be a part of such an amazing project! Thank you Special Spaces for all that you do!

Toy box and new closet!

Decorating on a Budget! Using Wall Stickers, Slipcovers and more

Have you ever just wanted to rip everything out of a room and start fresh? I know I have. Unfortunately, not all of us have the means to do just that. So, let me help you out.
 Instead of throwing everything away, let's start with the basics. Budgeting is a wonderful way to get that new room you've always wanted, and just couldn't quite attain. Make sure to read these tips before starting too many projects at once!


A fresh paint color can be so refreshing and might even change your mind about redoing the whole room! Put a piece of art up on the wall, or find a wall sticker that really speaks to you! Wall decals are so simple to put up, no nails or hammers necessary. Just measure the space you want it in, pick a color you like and purchase! Wall Decor Plus More offers a wonderful variety of stickers, from kitchen quotes to children's rooms decorations.

Another idea for sprucing up a room, if you can't afford to get a new sofa or love seat, would be to find a slipcover for it. Surefit.com has some lovely covers for a reasonable price. Bed Bath & Beyond also has slipcovers, as does Walmart. This is a much more affordable process than buying a whole new sofa set! If that doesn't work, you could get that new pillow that has been calling your name! Or you could try making one just like the one you love. Get creative and go for it!

Don't forget to check out Pinterest for decorating on a budget! Check out Wall Decor Plus More on Pinterest as well! It is filled with all kinds of ideas, from  DIY coffee tables to redoing curtains. Pinterest also has lovely ideas for hanging pictures, making your own kitchen shelves, or even a headboard!

I hope you can find something that works for you! I am going to try some redecorating myself, and I'll let you know how it goes next week!

Have a wonderful weekend!
Cassie
