Wall Decals
Wall decals are my new best friend. They are easy to apply and can be removed when you get ready for a new look. I selected dot decals and applied them to the bathroom wall.
How to add color to walls with Wall Decals
You guys know I paint furniture and make crafts from recycled junk but how often do I redecorate…..huuummm. The answer is….. not very often. I got the bug to redecorate at least one room when I met the Wallternatives™ girls at Haven. I was drawn to the booth immediately because of the color…lots and lots of pretty color. They asked me to review their wall décor products and I jumped at the chance.
There is one room in my home that has just bored me to tears for a couple of years now….
this bathroom. Our home was built in 1965 so the bathrooms are tiny. This is the main bathroom! I’m letting it all hang out here because this is how the room looked the day I decided to go to work on it.
The first thing I did was remove every bit of décor from the room except for the shower curtain. The colors in the shower curtain are my color palette for the makeover.
I ordered the Dots Vinyl Pattern Pack Minis: 72 shapes in three colors. I got 72 Teal dots, 72 key lime green dots, and 72 silver grey metallic dots. They came all nicely rolled up with each color on heavy backing paper. Every order comes with a squeegee for burnishing the decals to the wall.
First thing I did was cut the dots apart and tape the paper squares to the wall so I would have some idea of placement. As you can see I also added dots to the curtains.
I used spray starch on the curtains and they were new so I’m not sure the dots will adhere for long…we’ll see. The decals aren’t meant for placement on fabric. Ya’ll know I have to be different!
When I had the dots mostly where I wanted them I peeled them off the backing and applied them to the wall. Since the dots are small I used my finger tips to secure them to the wall. I bet the squeegee comes in handy for the larger decals.
That was it! The decals were easy to place on the wall and the humidity and steam from the bathroom want affect them. They can be easily removed from the wall for up to 3 years. The decals added that fresh pop of color my bathroom needed….no painting required….yea!
I hung a few painted frames and other accessories to finish the room. The dots are really fun! There are 20 colors to choose from and I think my color selection was right on the money.
Every time I walk by the bathroom doorway…I smile. The bathroom isn’t boring now. I used 90 dots so I have a lot of them left over. I think I feel a furniture makeover coming on.
I’m going to be ordering the Summer Days Flower Vinyl Wall Decal and the Antique Keys Hardware Vinyl Wall Decal Set to use on furniture. Can’t wait….I think they’ll be perfect! I’m sure I can use them on furniture! {think outside the box}
What do you think of the bathroom makeover? What do you think about the wall decals? I found this article on maintaining walls and windows helpful.
I can tell the hubby is feeling better because he was teasing me about seeing spots (maybe bathroom dots) the other day. No he wasn’t having problems from the surgery…he was just making a joke. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week, KathyÂ
