Customized wall stickers for your home

Posted by Sticker Mule on

Do you want to know how you can redesign your home on a budget? The answer is wall graphics and stickers! Wait, I can use wall stickers to decorate my home? Yes, you can! With the right kind of stickers, you don’t even have to worry about damaging your walls!

So if you’re thinking of a cost-effective way to redecorate your home, read on...

What are the different types of wall stickers I can use for my house?

Before we start interior decorating, let’s learn more about the different types of wall art stickers you can use in your home:

  • Mirror decals or front adhesive stickers: As the name suggests, the sticky part is on the front of the sticker. This allows you to stick it on surfaces like windows so its design can be seen on the outside.
  • Mirror wall stickers: Also known as mirror clings, these stickers have a self-clinging white vinyl. Yup, you read that right! They don’t need adhesive to apply to your mirror. They're your best bet for reusing and repositioning!
  • Wall art stickers or decals: Made from a self-adhesive fabric, this type of sticker is removable. The premium vinyl has a fabric-like textured finish that diffuses light and matches the texture of your wall.
  • Holographic stickers: Funky rainbow effects that change with light? Holographic stickers are here to jazz up any boring room.

What is the difference between wall stickers and wall decals?

Though both are decorations you can stick on your wall, they can also mean something different.

According to some decorators, wall decals can mean a lot of things. It’s basically any decoration you can put up on your wall, including wall graphics or non-adhesive decors. Wall art stickers, on the other hand, are very straightforward. They usually refer to back adhesive stickers.

Suppliers may call these by different names too. When you’re going to your hardware store or checking out wall decals online, make sure to read the fine print below the pretty graphics. Read that description before hitting that “Add to cart” button!

When can you use wall stickers for your home?

Aside from times when you want to redecorate your home, when can you use and reuse decorative stickers? What are the different occasions when you can use wall decor stickers?

  • Birthday parties: You can create customized party decors, goodie bags, place cards, and invitation cards with stickers!
  • Halloween: Decorating your house for Halloween has never been easier! If you’re having a party or you plan to entertain trick-or-treaters, mirror or glass cling-type stickers will show passersby that your house is in the mood to treat!
  • Thanksgiving: Hosting a thanksgiving feast? Make it more festive with stickers and customized coasters or party favors.
  • Valentines Day: Planning a surprise or a romantic dinner? Decorate your home with Vday-themed stickers and wall decals!
  • Baby shower: Throwing baby showers at home is all the rage now! A no-fuss, customized decor would be stickers and mirror clings!
  • Wedding parties: A bridal shower or the wedding party itself becomes more memorable if it’s personalized, right? The good thing is you can decorate your home or the venue of your party with photo or face stickers, name tags, and other customizable party favors.

How do you use wall stickers for every room in the house?

There’s an opportunity to create personalized, DIY stickers, decals for the rooms in your house. Take a look at these examples.

Master’s Bedroom

As a place of relaxation, your bedroom decal should be soothing. Don’t forget that it’s also the first thing you see every morning so an inspirational design (a wall art quote, perhaps?) is not a bad idea either.
