Fresh wall art

January 28th, 2008 · 6 Comments

I’ve been looking for ideas to freshen up the walls in my studio space. When I am making jewelry all day, I want to be inspired by what is around me. I think my walls need a bit of a lift. So the search begins…

Changing the color is definitely an option (and a must!), perhaps with a new paint technique, but I came across these wall decals that would spice them up. They are generally made out of vinyl and have a tacky side to stick on the wall. Some even claim that they are easily removable, leaving no residue or permanent damage to your walls. This would be a perfect solution because if I ever get tired of looking at the design, I can peel them off and be re-inspired by new decals.

Here are some of my favorite finds:

Wall decals from FermLiving, Wall Print, Weego Home, and Divider

Decisions, decisions. I love the butterflies and gold sparrows from Ferm Living. These lovely designs from Denmark are so quirky yet sophisticated and would provide just enough interest on my walls without being overdone. You can read more about Ferm Living’s wallpaper line over at decor8.

Julien Saluit, owner and design at Wall Print, has a bolder line of wall decals that “will give your style quotient a jolt”. He has a whole range of subjects, from nature (like the giant white flower above), to people (pop art), and even darling designs for children’s rooms. How cute would a giant zebra look in your kid’s room.

We’re anxious to see what Weego Home has in store, but I like the way they grouped a few different decals and colors together with a pink wall as a backdrop. You could create a monochromatic palette that would be so subtle yet interesting. And now we know that wall decals aren’t just for permanent walls. The folks over at dVider make fantastic room dividers for your home or office. Great for loft areas or shared workspaces.

It’s time to sketch out a few ideas for my studio.
