If your walls could talk, what would they say? Would they reveal secrets better left untold? Would they smile and say, some really crazy people live here?
While there are certainly things you don’t want your walls to tell about you, wouldn’t it be fun to tell about the good stuff?
If this puts to mind the thought of painstakingly stenciling words and letters on your walls, you are close. Stencils are great, but leave too much room for error. Unless you are very, very good at stenciling, it can also look about amateur.
The newest form of lettering to use that will allow you to put words, phrases, quotes, and logos on walls are rub on vinyl lettering. Once reserved for commercial applications for business windows, doors, and cars, Vinyl lettering is very easy to apply to walls, with a rub-on method. Because they are pre-printed, you don’t have to worry about smudged paint and placement of every single letter in the phrase. The words come pre-spaced making the job less painstaking and time intensive.
When choosing a phrase to put on your walls, don’t just do the typical everyday, “Live, Love, Laugh” and “Family Forever” type of saying. There are no limits to the type of creativity you can express through words on your walls.
Many websites allow you to create your own quote, or saying in beautiful laser cut letters that are easy to apply to your walls. So even if you are afraid to deal with the paint and possible errors when stenciling, there is no reason to not give your walls a bit of expression.
Wisedecor.com, for example will allow you to create a quote in any number of sizes and fonts. You can create logo’s or virtual manuscripts for your wall in a few simple steps. Of course, the bigger you go, the more it will cost. Tour typical one sentence wall quote of phrase comes in just under $40.00.
