What are wall decals?

In case you are not familiar with decals, these are pretty much like decorative stickers that you can adhere to walls, cabinets, drawers, or any surface that you want to decorate. These could be transparent, clear, or matte. Unlike ordinary stickers, though, vinyl decals are made out of repositionable and removable adhesives. This will ensure that you can easily move or remove them, which is especially helpful if you live in rent-controlled apartments.

Before you jump right into redesigning your home decor, here are a few more tips to remember when creating your own wall decal decor:

1. Keep it clean and simple. You don’t want to go overboard with the colors and the designs. Otherwise, it would look like a not-so-pleasing Jackson Pollock painting. Unless that’s what you’re going for.
2. Mix and match decal designs. As mentioned before, you can add bits and pieces of some decal sets to various stuff around your home. Your favorite tumbler or mug, your paintbrush holder, your die-cutting machine, your pencil and marker holders, and even picture frames on your desk. If you look around you, it’s so easy to find something to decorate with decals - from the tiniest paintbrush to the largest drawer you have.
3. Visualize the overall look of the design first. This should be the first thing that you do before sticking those decals on your walls or your stuff. Imagine how it would look like with the rest of the room or space.
4. Choose a theme or a color palette. Another vital thing to remember is to stick to a color palette or choose a theme. If you love flowers, then go for floral-themed decals. Love traveling? Then choose travel-themed decals like THESE.
5. Personalize it according to your needs. You don’t want to decorate just for the sake of decorating. If you are someone who needs constant visual reminders around you such as notes, to-do list, grocery list, appointment reminders, etc., here are a few decal sets that you can try:

• Mini Wall Calendar Decal Set
