Changing the look of your home has never been this simple. If you don’t want to get into the hassle of painting or wallpapering, get your hands on to some creative wall stickers or decals.
There are unique types of wall stickers available in the market. You can have an interesting theme in each room of your home to give your spaces a distinct appeal.
Colour in child’s room
Wall stickers are an ideal way to create an engaging ambience, especially in a child’s room. They are a great way to personalise a room and turn it into an interactive play area. Wall murals stimulate children’s imagination by transporting them into the theme.
Rohina Anand says, “Since scribbling and drawing on walls has always been prohibited for children, I think one of the nicest ways to dress up your child’s walls is to let them express themselves. There are reusable and peel-on-and-off blackboard wall stickers available, which will encourage your child’s creativity.
Along with that, growth charts, photo montages and themed drawings done by them make the space look personal and give your child a sense of accomplishment.”
Reusable stickers
Currently, reusable wall stickers are popular and come in handy as they can be repositioned repeatedly. They can be peeled off as soon as the child outgrows this phase without any damage to the walls.
They are also versatile and can be used on everything from painted walls, furniture, glass, windows and doors to bathroom tiles.
Popular choices for boys’ rooms are football, dinosaurs and pirates and for girls, princesses, fairies, castles and chalkboards. Alphabet and numbers are great for both boys and girls.
Dipti Pathak, a homemaker, says, “Wall stickers are easy to install as you don’t need to wait or look out for any particular season or time. It is suggested that you wait for at least 15 days before the decal is actually pasted if you have newlypainted interiors.”
Advantages
There are several advantages of using wall stickers. They are easy to install, suitable for those looking at perking up walls on a shoestring budget and can also be custommade.
You can get interesting designs made for almost any area of the house and add a new dimension to spaces. While a small pack of stickers is available from Rs 199 onwards, you can do up an entire wall in less than Rs 5,000.
So, give your walls a fresh lease of life this season without worrying too much about the budget.
