Are there any drawbacks to the film decor? They are few, but they exist. If you stuck the picture is not as smooth as we would like, it is not always possible to remove it without leaving a trace. If the wall is painted, then "painless" removal is possible. But on the wall, covered with wallpaper, there will always be a "scar" from unsuccessful creativity. Recently, removable products have appeared, which are well removed even with inexpensive smooth wallpaper.

Often the question arises: how to determine the theme and choice of decor. The most important thing here is the personal taste and style in which the room is decorated. It is important that the picture and wall covering look like a single unit. For example, for a room in a loft or avant-garde style, stickers in a frame with ingenious inscriptions or brick decor are perfect, and an abstract design with a futuristic combination of colors and lines is suitable for a "high-tech" decor.

Varieties and materials

The most common are vinyl films. There is also a textile decor, which also has an original look, and paper products. By the way, the latter can be made using a regular printer with your own hands. Depending on the type of printed image, these types of decor are distinguished:

From monochrome film. Most often, they are black;
Multi-color (using two or more different colors and shades);
The scenery, made in 3D-technology.

Distributed and portrait stickers made to special order. You can decorate the wall and the photo: yours or a loved one.

Wall decoration of various rooms

The area of use of stickers is very wide. They can be used to design a variety of interiors: both in style and in function. Surfaces for decorating can be used any: wallpaper (smooth, liquid or textured), plastic, wood, tile, metal, or painted walls.

For bedroom walls

In the bedroom are best suited pictures of calm tones, creating a positive atmosphere. These can be images of a couple in love, flowers or a beautiful landscape. It is appropriate in the bedroom and the image of the tree - a symbol of health, longevity and fertility. Decorated surfaces look very unusual.

If there are several kids in the room, personalize their hobbies and interests;
Use additional decor for a room decorated in a specific theme (sea, space, car, princess castle);
Decorate a temporary room for a child (if the housing is removable).

Choose colored stickers so that they overlap with the tint gamut of the room. So, the green foliage of trees in harmony with pillows, bedspreads or curtains of the same color. It is desirable to place a multi-color composition on a neutral monochrome background. Bright and colorful interior, it is advisable to trim a monochrome composition. As for the subject of images, it can be different: trees, animals, exotic plants, flowers, mother-of-pearl pictures. For a teenage room, a geographical map is appropriate. You can order a unique decorative image in a specialized studio.

Be sure to consider the age of the owner of the room. Kids up to the age of 3–4 will have simple patterns in a calm color scheme. Older children will enjoy more complex subjects, such as fabulous, with or without framing.

For living room walls

Unfortunately, places in modern small-sized apartments are few. As a rule, glue the decorative image in the living room on the wall directly above the sofa. The most common options in the hall are the silhouettes of animals and people, trees, bamboo branches, butterflies and birds.

Hallway Wall Decor

Most often, the corridor is long and narrow. Therefore, it is desirable to choose pictures that can be stretched over the entire or almost the entire length of the room. It can be a flying flock of birds and a cat sitting on the ground, a stave with music recorded on it, flying butterflies, a running flock of antelopes. Above the entrance door is a cozy picture of an old lantern. You can stick small stickers on the doors of the wardrobe.

Kitchen and bathroom decorated with stickers

Decorating the walls of the kitchen and bathroom with beautiful themed stickers is a simple and safe way to bring a special highlight to the interior. Their choice is so diverse that you can decorate any room, regardless of style. With the help of unusual decor you can achieve the following effects:

Focus on any of the areas of the room;
Make a new inexpensive design;
Disguise flaws on furniture and walls.

As a rule, in the kitchen room decor is placed on the refrigerator, furniture fronts, work apron or windows. The bathroom is decorated with furniture and walls.

How to glue

Before decorating the walls, it is advisable to request a test version of the decor. If the experiment was successful, feel free to proceed to the transformation of the interior in the room. Film for decoration consists of a substrate, the sticker itself and the mounting film. The technology of sticking largely depends on the dimensions of the canvas. In order to correctly place a multi-part sticker on the wall, patience and attentiveness are required. To begin with, make sure that the surface under the decor was dry and clean. It is advisable to mark it in order to properly position the elements of the decor.

Small sticker

It is very easy to mount a small sticker on the wall or furniture. The action algorithm for this is as follows:

Smooth the surface of the protective film with your hand or a plastic card. This is necessary so that the picture and the mounting film fit snugly together;
Put the sticker on a clean, flat surface, carefully remove the backing. At the same time, movements should be slow, parallel to the surface on which the image is located. With this approach, the sticker will not be separated from the mounting film;
Take the sticker with both hands. Fix it on the wall according to pre-prepared markup. The assembly film at the same time is directed to you by "face";
Pressing the sticker against the wall, gently smooth it with your palms and (or) the same plastic card;
Remove the mounting film. The process is similar to removing the substrate (from one angle, the movement is directed parallel to the surface). Take the time to avoid sticking of parts of the pattern to the film itself.

Pay attention to the edges of the pattern fit as closely as possible. Otherwise, the picture on the wall will look messy and the effect of sticking will not be as expected.

After the work is completely finished, press again all the elements of the sticker with a clean textile or lint-free towel. At will, it is possible to decorate a picture with rhinestones.
Large size sticker

The technology of mounting large-sized decor has its own nuances. If you approach the case as with small stickers, it is almost impossible to stick a sheet evenly and accurately. It will bristle or, conversely, stick where it is not needed. In the end, the decor will be completely ruined. Specificity consists in the fact that the substrate is removed not immediately, but gradually, on the wall, in the process of gluing. The procedure is as follows:

Remove the sticker from the packaging or tube and place it in the prepared place;
Using the construction tape, place the picture on the wall on a pre-printed markup;
Selecting one corner (preferably upper), separate all 3 layers; Gently roll the substrate inward so that all parts of the design are glued to the mounting film;
Begin gradually sticking a sticker, not forgetting about smoothing. Repeat the entire algorithm from the very beginning, until you paste all the elements without residue, removing the backing completely;
After ensuring that all items are securely glued, remove the mounting film. As in the case of a small sticker, press all the elements with a piece of pure textiles.

Before you begin, make sure you have enough time. Take breaks in work is unacceptable.

Sometimes it turns out that fragments of the picture can be fixed arbitrarily. In this case, it is advisable to cut the canvas into separate pieces and work with them, as with small stickers. So much more convenient. To glue the picture as smoothly as possible, you can use a hairdryer set to the minimum temperature. Time to perform such work will take much more, but the result will be better.

Conclusion

There is a wish that in a dynamical modern life there was a little place for magic and beauty. It turns out that you can create them around you yourself. Decorating rooms with stickers is a creative and exciting business, a source of inspiration for the whole family. Moreover, we are talking not only about the result, but also about the process itself.
