Decorating Your Room With Wall Decor Quotes
Categorized: Home Accessories | No comments
A home decorating idea that has been steadily gaining popularity over the past few years are wall quotes. Many people have put up inspirational or meaningful quotes on the walls of almost every room of the house from the bathroom to the kitchen to the bedroom. They add a pop of interest to the walls in one’s home and can be completely customized. The quotes can be the most meaningful to your family, done in your favorite colors and scripts.
Of course, the easiest way to get wall decor quotes is to order them online or pick them up in a craft or home improvement store. Even though there are hundreds, if not thousands, to choose from, you may not be able to find the perfect one for you. Custom quotes or made-to-order items can be expensive and take a long time to be produced. However, there are many ways you can create these quotes yourself.
Those who are confident in their painting or artistic abilities can simply paint the quote directly on the wall – all that is needed is some paint and a paintbrush. However, many people would like something nicer then what they are able to paint freehand. An easy solution is to use the computer to print the quote in the font you like. Then, use an overhead projector to project the image directly onto the wall and either paint directly using the projected image or trace with a pencil and then paint.
Another option is to trace letters onto decorative paper, carefully cut out the letters and mount on the wall using adhesive. This can be fairly time consuming and it is difficult and to achieve a clean, professional look. However, if you own or can borrow a Cricut machine, this can be used to quickly and easily cut letters for a wall quote. Also consider using this technique with a thin piece of vinyl with adhesive pre-applied to the back. This will make installation of the quote much easier.
Finally, a fun idea for a nursery is to use magnetic refrigerator magnets to spell out a quote. For a permanent installation, simply glue the letters directly to the wall. For a quirky touch, use magnetic paint (available at any home improvement store) as a primer, the paint over this with the regular wall color. The letters will then stick to the magnetic part of the wall and quotes can easily be changed. You can also get wall decals for a nursery.
There are so many ways to add wall decor quotes to a room, and coming up with your own, homemade versions is a lot of fun. All it takes is a bit of creativity, elbow grease and a willingness to try new things.
