We Love Wall Decals

We're sort of fascinated with the idea of wallpaper. It easily adds a definitive statement to a room. It's also the ultimate in decorating chutzpah is it not? I will permanently adhere this design on my walls such that the process of removing it will involve a heavy duty steamer and a LOT of my time. That sounds just about as appealing as sitting through back to back marathons of Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader. So what if we're commitment-phobes, we can blame it on the fact that we rent our spaces. Imagine our delight when we heard of wall decals. Perfect for the person who can't make up his or her mind on design or who doesn't want to affect their walls in a permanent manner, wall decals are self adhesive and completely removable.

One of the most popular options on the market, and a major innovator in the product, is Blik. Blik offers the largest and most varied options such as the playful shadow of a phantom chandelier or the more graphic choices which oftentimes people mistake for actual paint:


More intricate options include a flock of birds and paisley. We've also been dying to order some custom letters to put up a favorite quote.

ferm LIVING is a second brand of wall decal that tends to offer slightly more sophisticated options. Ferm is great for those feeling the very popular nature motif trend right now. Here's a great modern way to bring in a branch element.

We also love this one called hydrangea:

Finally the most whimsical choices come from a Swedish website called Form and Function. We'd probably go crazy with these options:

if it weren't for the fact that the website is a tad difficult to navigate and the translation feature malfunctions to the extent that we're not entirely certain if they're actually for sale.
