wall decals -- yay or nay?

6fsn

We put a saying in 6let's room.  Beyond that not a fan.

loveshine1

I think it depends where they're going and what they are of.

*Barbie*

nay - i like something more 3D.

**O-Face**

No.  But wax figures?  yes

HookaPants

Depends. I saw some cute ones for the kitchen.

This?





No.

hmonkey

i was actually thinking about using it as a mask -- apply to wall, paint over it and then remove, leaving behind the image.

Wonderw1fe

Only in a kid's room. Otherwise, hell nay.

Cant_wait!

Depends on the decal itself, I've seen some adorable ones. If you're in an apartment where you can't paint I think they are excellent.

NOLABridesmaid

I lean toward nay, because people usually don't know when to stop.

loveshine1

I don't think that's a bad idea. As long as you use recognizable shapes, so when you peel away the decal it doesn't look like an oddly shaped area on the wall with no paint.

TheDuckis

I think for the use you're suggesting, paired with the fact that I know you have generally good taste and wouldn't go insane with it, they're fine.

I am generally yay, but they can be misused like any other decorating tool.

We bought Bacon a bunch of dinos for when we eventually get around to decorating her room. By which time she won't want them, but hey, we tried. 

DG1

agreed. I'm a fan, but they can be overdone. And, like anything else, there are nice ones and super tacky ones.

One of the D&R nesties said "one per house," which seemed reasonable to me.

for some reason, I've always wanted one that says "Eat your vegetables" in the kitchen. Except I have an open floor plan and my kitchen is also my living room, so I guess I'll never have one.  That, and I have textured walls that the vinyl doesn't like to stick to.

I've thought of your void idea before, too, and think it would be ossum.

hmonkey

we actually are allowed to paint in the new apt, so i am gathering ideas.  dh is not in love with midcentury modern, so that will be an issue.

however, he is leaving the nursery up to me, and i plan to mcm/danish modern it all up in there.  it will be a very orla kiely design.

Have you seen the nursery they're working on at www.younghouselove.com? They haven't done the full reveal yet, but I think you'll like most of what they have so far.

I love the ones that don't have any words.  I was thinking about doing something on the wall above our bed.  I have some ideas in my Etsy favorites: http://www.etsy.com/people/TailfeathersVintage/favorites  My guess is that since your style is similiar to mine, you might like some of them.
