Decorating for Spring With Trailing Flower Wall Decals in the Office

Seeing as it is actually SPRING already, it was a given that the snowman faces needed to come down in the office!  I chose these gorgeous Decorative Flower Decals to brighten up my office window.

Follow my steps to get the same trailing/flowing look:

My first step (after choosing my colors: Lilac, Plum and Soft Pink) was cutting apart the flower wall decals. 

Cutting apart the flower decals allows me to arrange them in anyway that fits my needs. 
The type of wall decals where you can cut apart and re-arrange them gives the most "bang for your buck". We, as a wall decal manufacturer, can make the wall decals in the most economical way and you, the customer, can arrange the wall decals to fit your available space.

Now, on to arranging the flower wall decals. I like the flowing look.  I was aiming for the flower decals to appear floating around the edge of my office window.

So I started with taping up the largest flower decals; spacing the various colors out.  I had to take the tape layer off right away because I was anxious to see how it was shaping up!

After that I added the next largest size and did this down to the littlest flower decals.

The tiny flower wall decals were used to fill, more or less and add tails to the floating design.

The glass makes photographing clearly a challenge... so we invite you to visit the Wall Decor Plus More shop sometime and see for yourself how vibrant and cheery they look!

  Don't forget to grab the necessary accessories for any pet at Pet Smart! You should have a dog or cat bed, whichever you have. And don't forget the toys! Animals get bored very easily and will need distraction from the tempting view of your furniture or clothing and shoes! My dogs love rawhide bones and will stay quiet and have good behavior for hours while they chew on them.

So, next time you decide you need to get a little something for your beloved pet, think about a wall decal! Or just grab a new chew toy or catnip :)

Have a wonderful day!

How To Use A Plastic Business Card As A Squeegee

Need some tips on how to make your decal stick to the wall? Use the following method to help your decal stay on the wall!

1. Take a tape measure or level and make sure your decal is straight on the wall.

2. Using the hinge method - Take the backing off a small section of the decal; place the sticky part (transfer tape) on the wall; make sure it sticks; peel the rest of the backing off; smooth onto the wall.

3. Grab the plastic business card that came in the package with your decal.

4. Gently, but with a constant pressure, rub the card all over the decal. This will ensure that the lettering will stick to the wall and not come off with the transfer tape.

Be sure to rub the entire decal! Missing one spot, even a small one, can cause the decal to rip as you take the transfer tape off!

If you have any troubles at all , check out our YouTube channel to see more how-to videos!

Have a fabulous day!

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!

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!!
