Wall Makeovers Without The Mess

No need to beg friends to help paint your boring walls just add stickers

I know, I know. You’re afraid of paint. Somehow your kindergarten teacher managed to scar you for life when she reprimanded you for not coloring within the lines. Now the idea of painting within borders makes you want to ask for the bathroom pass so you can go cry in a stall.

Not to worry, there are other ways to bring life to your bland walls. Vinyl décor are wall appliqués, tailor-made to come off as easily as they are to apply. They are like giant stickers for your home that come in a wide range of designs, shapes and sizes—yes, much like the ones you used to put all over your notebooks…or still do. Sure, they cost a little more than your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle collection (depending on how much of an enthusiast you were) but for as little as 10 bucks you can completely avoid a horrendous paint job that cost you five times that. You might also prevent your guests from insulting your space while you're in the kitchen.

Think they aren't for you? Trust me; they've got something for everyone. Here are some examples:

For the Faux Naturist

Ever described yourself as “outdoorsy” on eHarmony yet you go full retard at the sight of a gnat? Own sleeping bags but only pull them out for guests? Love the movie "Into the Wild" but have mini panic attacks if you stay in your backyard too long? Bring one-dimensional versions of the trees, bugs and woodland animals indoors. No one will judge you...except if you flinch when passing the butterfly drawings.

For the Fantastical Film Buff

You know all the words to all the classics. In your wildest fantasy you and Sylvester Stallone have arm wrestling contests, Audrey Hepburn stops by to talk about the latest housewives episode and when Bogart says "Here's looking at you, kid," he’s really looking at you. Might as well step your delusions up a notch. Cop a few images of your favorite thespians.
