All the Benefits of a Removable Wall Sticker

By Melissa Evans

Some Americans are not familiar with removable wall decals. This decorating style is native to France and more often considered a design accessory here in the U.S. for vehicles, bikes, and public transport. Recently however, wall stickers are gaining the interest of homeowners and apartment renters who are looking for fashionable and creative ways to decorate their homes without leaving permanent marks. Using removable wall stickers present them with several advantages.

One major advantage of removable wall decals is its price. You do not have to delay redecorating because wall stickers will fit the tightest decorating budget. Unlike wall painting or purchasing wallpaper for the whole room, wall decals will not require you to invest a lot of money on supplies. Nor it will require you a lot of hours to remove the wall stickers for your next decorating idea.

Moreover, painting a room will cost you a significantly greater amount of money than using wall decals. Most home re-sellers, homeowners and renters will need to hire a professional painter because they do not have the time, money, or skill to do the job themselves. Aside from paying for labor, you will still need to make additional cash outlays and trips to the store for paint supplies.

Parents before considered hiring artists to paint murals for their childrens room a good decision for their family. However, nowadays with the availability of more affordable quality alternatives such as removable wall murals, such practice is considered wasteful and impractical.

Speaking of which, using a removable wall sticker is so much more humane to the parents who will be doing the labor. Rather than dad or mom having to worry about building and tearing down according to their childs fleeting tastes and fluctuating interests, a removable wall sticker makes things a snap. Many decals are water based and require some dipping, but a vinyl removable wall sticker makes transfer even easier.

Other wall decorations leave residue on the wall or furniture that are difficult to remove. But vinyl- based removable decals involve minimal to zero clean-up which prevents adding scratches or chipping paint surfaces on walls or furniture. Vinyl wall decals are better than double-taping posters and prints on walls because tape loses its adhesive strength after some time and the art work falls off. Apartment renters who have the obligation to maintain the property in order to get their deposit, and homeowners who plan to sell their property in a few years, will also decrease their costs in the long-run if they choose to decorate with wall decals.

The popularity of wall stickers is also due to the opportunities it opens up for families to spend more time together in redecorating. Children are not shut-out from the decision process or discouraged from having new ideas and exploring them. Wall stickers, such as wall letterings also provoke curiosity or mental stimulation in a toddlers bedroom or playroom. Favorite themes for children bedrooms are I Love Ladybugs and Hip to be Square.

If you are interested in decorating a room removable wall decals is an inexpensive solution. Prices are typically very reasonable as you can often decorate a whole wall for less than $30. The price of individual letter wall stickers are $2.00 to $5.00 depending on the size you desire. Shape decals often come in packages containing multiple coordinating designs for as little as $10. The larger sized decals are ideal for walls, windows or other big spaces while the smaller sized decals are perfect for decorating doors, closets, furniture, tables, windows, or window borders.
