Painting, airbrushing or writing on your home’s walls can have disastrous long-term results and require much cleanup, but designing do-it-yourself decorations to hang on those walls lets you express your creativity and match the room's style. One quick and mess-free way to make your own homemade wall decorations is to “paint” them using Windows Paint. Take advantage of the Paint graphic-design features, which lets you make custom drawings, patterns, messages -- and even spray paint looks for your walls. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate the Walls of a Small Apartment Kitchen
Small spaces can pose a challenge when it comes to decorating. When you are decorating an apartment kitchen, you likely won't have much space to decorate other than the walls. Choose items to hang on the walls that fit with the rest of your apartment's decor. Another idea is to use your wall space for decorative items that are also useful, to help free up space in your other kitchen storage areas. Does this Spark an idea?
Remove Wall Decal Murals
Also known as movable murals, wall decal murals can give your wall the look and feel of a real hand-painted mural, without the permanency of one. Wall decal murals, made from a porous, removable vinyl, resist bubbling, sliding and curling. Wall decal murals cling to any painted wall surface and stay there until the day you take them down. Removal takes little effort, and the best part of wall decal murals is that they are reusable. Does this Spark an idea?
Make Wall Decorations for Parties
Wall decorations add to the festive look of a party. Silhouettes and near silhouettes create an atmosphere of depth to the room for one type of look. Paper-pieced silhouettes will introduce color and dimension to wall decorations. Favorite characters, sports, holiday items and natural shapes, including flowers and butterflies, may be included based on the party theme. Start by selecting a theme to help determine what type of wall decoration form to use. Oversized paper piecings are wall decorations that are suitable for any party. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate a Modern Wall
Modern design typically features minimal elements, clean lines and fluidity. If you have a taste for modern design and the style is featured in any of the rooms of your home, add interest to the walls of the space with decorative elements. Simple elements displayed in a thoughtful way are an ideal way to add interest and pops of color to a modern room. Choose a wall that is easily visible or one that features a key architectural element or piece of furniture to make the wall a showpiece of the room. Does this Spark an idea?
