Helpful Tip Friday



Decorating without Causing Holes

          In homes we own and homes we rent we want to personalize our space without the damage.  (Either to our walls and/or our deposit.)  It’s time to get creative.  My go-to favorite will always be the versatile 3M strips, that come in so many different sizes and purposes.  However, it’s always good to learn new tricks.

Use Photo Collages
            Hang up some large magnetic/corkboards and centralize your photographs as a collage.  Little magnets or push pins help hold pictures in place while giving them mobility.  Add them to a white background for faux Polaroids, or have pictures printed straight from Instagram for a casual and modern approach.  Add an element of organization, such as arranging pictures by person, color, or time.

Vinyl Wall Stickers
            This growing trend offers a big room influence and décor with minimal mess.  There are so many options, that vinyl wall stickers can complement almost any style.  If you’re looking for something more geometric or just a pattern, try making your own designs with washi tape.  They can even make creative faux frames around pictures hung with Elmer’s Tack N’Stik.

 Temporary Wall Paper
            Fabric, temporarily adhered to the wall, with spray starch offer great results.  It adds some color, pattern, and/or texture to any room.
