Peel and Stick Wall Decorations
From LoveToKnow Interior Design
When you want to create big design impact without a big commitment, try using peel and stick wall decorations. In recent years, these wall stickers have surged in popularity because they are very affordable and easy to use. Those who live in rental properties are also finding wall stickups to be a temporary way to personalize their home when painting is not allowed. Take your walls to new levels with removable wall stickers.
Wall Sticker Basics
Peel and stick wall decorations can include graphics, words, phrases, or other images. They can range in size from just a few inches to mural size. Wall stickers can also be used to adorn furniture, boxes, mirrors, or tiles. Most wall stickups will adhere to any smooth surface or may possibly hold on to rougher surfaces (each brand is slightly different). Some wall borders are also made in a peel and stick version.
There are countless designs available along with options for custom creations. Almost any theme for an adult or child’s room can be enhanced with stickup wall decor. Licensed wall stickers include sports teams, colleges, Disney characters, and superheroes.
Buying Wall Stickers
There are numerous retailers and websites that carry peel and stick wall decorations. Local home décor stores and boutiques often sell a selection of wall stickers in the most popular designs and phrases. Even hardware stores like Lowe’s and The Home Depot have stickups in their wallpaper or home decorating departments. An online retailer like Berlin Wallpaper or a website like eBay will likely have the widest selection and customizable options. Before buying any wall sticker, be sure to double-check the size of the appliqué and the installation instructions. Below are a few of the top brands of wall decorations on the market.
