You raced home to give your drab walls a makeover. Well, now you are standing in what feels like a kid's cartoon playhouse, and you are seriously regretting your decision. You still love the color, but it's just way too bright. Don't fret. You can tone down a bright wall color. Does this Spark an idea?
Hang Metal Art
Metal wall art comes in a myriad of finishes and styles. This art is varied enough to complement any décor and bold enough to stand on its own. A lot of metal art is very large, making it a practical choice for large, blank walls in foyers or hallways. However, metal wall art must be hung properly to avoid damaging your walls or the art itself. Doing this is no harder than hanging a regular picture frame; it just requires the right tools and materials. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate Walls in Children's Bedrooms
Creating a colorful theme for your child's bedroom often centers around wall designs and decorations. While wallpaper and paint are decoration options, these are time-consuming projects with permanent results. Children who are enthused with a certain character, animal or theme one year may outgrow the design as they age. Because of this, removable wall stickers and murals provide a less permanent and inexpensive option to traditional wallpaper and paint. Does this Spark an idea?
