Homemade wall cling decals are a great way to temporarily decorate a space, such as an apartment or a child's room, that you may not want to paint or wall paper. Decals can be cut into just about any size or shape that you wish. You can create art deco swirls, a faux flower garden, trees with extensive branches or even spots to give your walls a funky, artistic feel.
Hang Carpet on the Wall
When hanging carpet on a wall, determine if it will be a permanent or temporary fixture, and if a large or small section of wall will be carpeted. Figure out what type of carpet will be hung, and what material the walls consists of, as different applications will require different methods. Using a staple gun to hold the carpet to the wall will ensure that it will stay in position, and that it can be easily removed. Staples from a staple gun will penetrate wood as well as gypsum board. Concrete installation may require glue or hanging hardware designed for masonry walls. Does this Spark an idea?

Hang a Persian Rug on a Wall
Because of the beauty of their intricate and symmetrical designs, Persian rugs are often displayed on walls. A Persian rug that hangs on a wall will also undergo less wear and tear than one that's on the floor. Because Persian rugs tend to be heavy, they must be hung securely and with care to preserve their fibers and value. Does this Spark an idea?
