Decorating Children's Room With Wall Decor

By Victoria Mieler


It has never been easier to spice up a room with out a great deal of fuss or expense. I have always loved the look of wall murals. When I go to certain restaurants and I see the walls painted with artwork or I see a kid's room in magazines with painted murals I always think I wish I could manage to do that in my children's rooms.

I would love a tree with flowers and animals or an entire wall with Thomas the Train and his pals. I even called several artists that advertise in our local kid's magazine however the cost was just way more than I could afford.

These days you no longer have to sacrifice the room of your dreams due to the fact it is too expensive. You are able to get the look you would like for much less with wall decals and murals for just a fraction of the cost of painting. There are so many designs to choose from for both children and grown-ups.

I began experimenting in my own room to make certain it was simple and that it would look appropriate. The tree and cherry blossoms we put in to our decor look amazing. They add a new dimension to the room and also the great thing is if I decide to change my room they peel right off with out ruining the paint underneath.

Doing this with my daughter was so much fun. She decided on a different combination of stickers to develop an artistic style. She got Peace Sign Wall Stickers created by Roommates to match up her peace sign pillow cases and also the Large Daisy Peel & Stick for an extra pop of color.

She also wanted the Peace Dry Erase Wall Decal so she could make notes and make herself organized. At 9 years old she certainly has her own concepts about how her room should appear like. It was enjoyable to watch her plan and create.

Of course, the very best part was to spend time with her when she selected her designs and then as we place them up together we noticed her creation come to life.

Considering that each set she chose was less than $30.00 we entirely changed the look of her room, spent time together on a fun project, and didn't break the bank in the whole process.
