Wall decals are the newest rage on the home design front: While many trends tend to come and go, wall decals, when applied correctly, can go a long way to refresh the look of a room—be it temporary or permanent. Wall decals of many shapes, colors, and sizes are appearing as permanent designs on kitchen, living room, and dining room walls, but they're also a great way to decorate bedrooms, bathrooms, or any other small spaces that you might feel tempted to redecorate frequently.

A Luxe Chandelier

If you don’t have the space or electrical capabilities in your home for an ornate chandelier, why not think about adhering one to your wall? Measuring approximately 20-inches wide by 30-inches high, this chandelier wall decal from Etsy will add a touch of elegant whimsy to your kitchen, dining room, or living area. Even though it won't light up your room, it will add personality and make your wall pop.

COFFEE TALK

Add functional design to your kitchen wall with chalkboard vinyl decals, like a large coffee mug from Vinyl Attraction. Clever and fun, choose from a decal shaped like a coffee cup or a bird on a branch and write in the menu for tonight's dinner, lists for the store, or just to pen a sweet note to the kids or hubby.

If you tire of the decals, they are easy to remove and won't damage your wall surfaces. If you prefer something a little more customized for your kitchen, Vinyl Attraction offers personalized monograms and designs that can be made to affordably spruce up your kitchen.

FOR THE BABIEs

Magnetic paint and wall decals are the newest ways to decorate your walls and they're perfect for your nursery or children's rooms. From hjrd Design, an Etsy seller and New Zealand-based designer, choose from a collection of magnetic wallscapes that were made with upcycled materials, vintage wallpaper, and recycled fabrics for the most unique designs you could imagine. Choose from train sets, rainbows, mirrors, or animal scenes to add a custom look to any bedroom.

LIGHT THE NIGHT

If your kids have trouble sleeping without a night light, try pasting one to their walls. Night light decorative decals from WallCandy^® Arts glow in the dark gently to offer soft lighting, perfect when you (or your offspring) need a little light shining through in order to achieve a good night's sleep.
