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!

Tips for applying Wall Vinyl Decal Stickers to textured wall

I had the privilege of applying a collection of Wall Stickers for a local customer this past weekend.  We are in the middle of a real South Dakota winter here right now.  Because of this, the wind was blowing like crazy and the temperatures were around 10 degrees!  This makes any wall tend to be on the cold side, even if it is in the inside of a house. 

So we had 2 issues that affected how easy the Wall Stickers were to apply - 1) surface temperatures plus 2) the walls were textured.  Both of these issues made application a little more difficult.  So here is how we made the application a little easier:

We used a hair blow dryer and worked in strips.

First we did the measuring, taped the design to the wall, then peeled the backing off.  The next and final step, taking off the top layer of transfer tape, is the most tricky.  So we used a hair blower dryer to heat the surface with the decal/transfer tape applied to it.  A strip at a time was warmed up, squeegeed real well, then that strip of transfer tape was carefully removed.

The hairblow dryer did 2 things: heated the surface for proper application and made the sticker soft so it adhered to the texture better.  Do NOT consider using a heat gun in place of the hairblow dryer - that high of heat would actually curl and/or melt your stickers.
