Tattoos for your walls.....

I am sure there have been times when you have seen paintings on the walls of Hotels or Frescoes in palaces and wished you had a similar one on the walls of your homes too. There are some who take the risk and attempt one on their walls...but there are others who only wish that they were artists too.... Don't worry, here is an easy option for all you people out there who wish to have some instant art on your walls that could magically transform the look of your rooms. They are called Wall Decals or in simple words wall stickers. There are a variety of them available online and they also allow you to choose from a list of sizes and colours. Isn't that wonderful?. These fine quality stickers blend along with the walls making them look like art on walls or tattoos on walls.  I have a few in my house.....take a look...


 
As I was browsing the net today for some wall stickers, I found this website called Wall Art. They sell some of the best wall tattoos for every room. Take a look at some of their themes. All pictures below are from Wall Art website.

Check out my article on " Stress- Free Colour Schemes" (Page 58)  in the latest issue of Prismma - an Online interior design magazine. I put together a few more pictures for you.




Visualise the cool expanse and the soft colours of the sea.

Self printed patterns and various textures form an interesting mix.

An all-white scheme would be a good option with a few accents in a different colour.

For a Warm and Cosy ambience, tone down bright colours by mixing them with black or brown.

Maintain a constant look throughout the room.
Add different shades of brown for a warm feel.
Try a peaceful Zen look with greenery.

Photo Wallpaper....

I have always loved Wallpapers on my walls. They not only add colour to your walls, but enhance them with textures, patterns and the effect is instant. There are many types of wallpapers. My favourite is the Photo Wallpaper or Wallpaper Murals. Thanks to my dad, I had a huge photo wallpaper of the Alp mountains in Switzerland on one of the walls in my bedroom. Whenever I got bored, I would sit looking at it for hours. I truly enjoyed it. While I was browsing through the net, I found some very interesting websites that offer such interesting and beautiful wall papers for your homes and offices.  The greatest advantage today is that you could give your photo and that could be printed as a wallpaper. Here are some interesting wallpapers from Foto Tapete. Please see their website for more.
Theme: Asia


Theme: Own Photo converted to a Wallpaper
Theme: Africa
Theme: Mountain
Theme: Flowers
Theme: Newyork
Theme: Beach
Theme: Nature
Theme: Abstract Motifs
Theme: City
