Foam wall decorations are a great way to add some cheer to a room. This is especially true for children's rooms. By creating your own foam wall decorations, you can save money as well as customize the decorations to meet your child's favorite animals, toys or even cars. It can become a family project and you can get input from your kids on what decorations they might like best. Some of the easiest wall decorations are teddy bears and balloons, and the patterns use simple circles and ovals to complete.
Hang Up an Airplane Propeller as a Room Decoration
Airplane propellers make unusual decorations, particularly if they are old, wooden propellers of the type used on biplanes. Some of these propellers are 8 feet long and can make a dramatic, oversized visual statement in a living room. Be sure to attach a large propeller to your wall securely so there's no way it will fall off. A propeller crashing to the floor would present a potentially lethal hazard and is not the kind of impact you're looking for. Does this Spark an idea?
Decorate a Living Wall Around a Wide-Screen TV
The sheer size of a wide-screen TV can be overwhelming, let alone hard to decorate around. To remedy this, choose decorative accessories that help showcase the TV, rather than detract from the area. Incorporating other design tricks like paint color also helps to tie the design together and create a tasteful living room wall that just happens to hold the TV. When embarking on the design, draw out a rough sketch to refer to and help you with scale and placement. Does this Spark an idea?
