You look at the bare walls of your rooms and decide something must be done to liven up the looks. You could get some framed photos or posters. You can cover the entire wall with a scenic wall paper provided the landlord has no objection. Or, you could simply get some wall stickers online and create changing scenes on your walls. The great thing about removable wall stickers is you can mix and match and not be stuck with just one look as happens with framed pictures or wall paper.
Before you stick it
Buying wall stickers online is easy. You pick the design you want and pretty soon a box is delivered to your doorstep and you will want to get down to sticking them to the wall. Even your children may want to get into the act. Wait a minute. Your removable wall sticker art will not be just one piece. You will have several, a dozen or more depending on what you have ordered. These need to go on to the wall properly and in a certain pattern to create an aesthetic composition. You cannot stick them in a haphazard fashion.
Try this first
Clear your floor. Draw a grid or lines on the floor using chalk. Now you can take the removable wall stickers but do not remove the backing just yet. Lay them out on the grid or the lines you have drawn on the floor. Step back and take a look. Climb a table to have a better idea of how the pattern will look. You could spend a couple of hours deciding on how exactly and where the sticker pieces go on the wall to create a perfect ensemble.
Grids, lines, waves,
How you lay out the stickers on the wall also depends on what you have chosen by way of design. Still, it helps to lay them out according to a grid or lines. The lines need not be straight. You can use curved lines. For instance if you use a floral motif you can draw lines that are close together at the bottom of the wall and then spread out in a curve as they go up. You can decide to cover the entire wall by spreading out the lines. You can have the lines on only one portion of the wall in the centre, to the left or to the right. Buying wall stickers online is fun but laying them right in a pleasing arrangement will give maximum effect. Another idea to try is to select the wall lamp and then place the best custom stickers below the lamp so that they are highlighted by the cone of light.
This is just a small pointer on how spending a little bit of time on planning how and where to place the wall art stickers will give you superb effect. If all the little pieces in the wall art sticker collection are of different colours then you have yet another option of using complementary or harmonized juxtaposition.
