Deck the Walls With 16 DIY Decals
No pressure, but how you adorn your walls sets the tone for your room’s entire look and feel. Okay now that we’ve made you sweat, cool your jets, because we’ve got the solution — wall decals! Wall decals are great if you’re not ready to commit to a bold wall design (or if you’re currently renting). You can easily remove them and try something new whenever you fancy a change. If this sounds like you, then check out these 16 DIY wall decals.
1. Washi Tape Wallpaper: We’re kicking this post off with one of our very own projects. Aside from its many other uses, washi tape makes fabulous temporary (and customizable!) wallpaper. (via Brit + Co)
