NERD WALL ART

Find it at scribbleoneverything.com


This decal that a client's daughter presented to me as nerd wall art that she wants as a focal point in her "nerd bedroom" (her words not mine, evidently being nerdy is very cool these days) is a painful reminder that I didn't apply myself when I was in high school. I was not the only teenage girl who memorized the periodic table of elements just long enough to pass chemistry class so I was not an odd duck.


Today nerds are the new "IN CROWD" and this young girl is perhaps the leader of the pack because she is drop dead gorgeous and not your dingy absent minded professor type either! Good looking, high achievers like her have become so trendy that they are developing their own decorating style and nerd decor like this decal and other pieces of nerd wall art are popping up all over the place!

In light of the monochromatic nature of the nerd wall art, I have to find a set of bedding and take her bedroom furniture and the headboard to her bed to be painted with flat black paint to match the periodic table wall poster and decals that she bought at scribbleoneverything.com.


Since I signed on to decorate this young lady's self-proclaimed nerd bedroom I have hopes that I get more jobs working for the intellectual set because I have my eye on some Legend of Zelda bedding that I'm dying to use teen girls bedding set in a gamer bedroom design.

JENNIFER'S BODY POSTER

Vampire lovers get ready to pick up your Jennifer's Body poster masterprint before the release date of September 18th. Teenage girls (and boys) are going to eat this movie up because bloodsucker movies are all the rage and this poster is just the thing to give your Halloween bedding set a very timely and sophisticated look.

If you have had your head in your books and have missed the Jennifer's Body trailer, you should know that the plot of the story surrounds a cheerleader who has a supernatural encounter with a satanic emo band. Afterwards, Jennifer (whose part is played by Megan Fox), becomes a demon with a taste for high school boys.

The good girl fighting this evil force is Jennifer's BFF, Needy (played by Amanda Seyfried), whose job is to protect the boys from her now bloodthirsty girlfriend.
This all may sound very dark and serious, but the film is being called a horror comedy.

Even if you can't have your Jennifer's Body poster on the wall before the release date of September 18th you can still have it in time for Halloween.

RETRO PEACE SIGN WALL DECORATING IDEAS

After finding several cool, retro comforter sets I began to wonder how to build more retro peace sign presence in my decorating projects. As I have mentioned before, there is more and more evidence that a slightly modern 60s flower power frame of mind is creeping into this decade.

While I’m not wild about tie dyed fabrics or psychedelic black light posters of Jimi Hendrix decorating the walls of my own bedroom, I would be crazy not to enjoy jumping in the time machine and looking through vintage decorating magazines at the pictures and reading the articles filled with the funky decorating ideas from the days when hippies were having their heyday.

One theme that repeats itself in practically every photo is all of the different varieties of retro peace signs on the walls. A few stood out because of their unique design and method of display. For instance, one colorful decoration I plan to file in my flower power bedroom decorating folder for use later is so GROOVY!

First I will cut the heads off of large silk daisies (think Gerbera) and then I will stick the daisy blossoms on the wall of the bedroom in the shape of a large peace sign using adhesive. The cool thing about this is that I can hand pick the colors according to the retro peace sign comforter sets that my customer has selected to decorate her room.

I could easily find some vinyl flower power and tie-dyed peace sign wall stickers but I would not have as much control over the color scheme plus the decals are one dimensional rather then the eye popping 3D look that the artificial flowers give me. I’m beginning to really get why flower children loved those flowers and peace signs!

CHANDELIER STICKERS, DECALS and WALLPAPER APPLIQUES

GO HERE FOR MORE




Is your ceiling too low for a low hanging light fixture? Chandelier stickers won’t provide much light, but they don’t use any electricity How eco-friendly is that? And there is no danger of your tall friends bumping their heads on their way through the room.

Plus, these easy to use decals provide an unexpected decorative detail to rooms where a ceiling mounted crystal chandelier might be too large and out of scale in a small bedroom.

WHERE TO USE THEM



The charming part of using removable, vinyl chandelier stickers for decorating the walls of your teenage girl’s bedroom is that when she rearranges her furniture, the decals can be relocated anyplace that there is a bit of blank wall space that needs decorating. As often as teens and preteens change their mind, this is a very good characteristic for bedroom wall decorations.

In a large bedroom you might hang one on each side of an armoire or over each of the bedside tables with a large painting or art print in the center over the head of the bed. My favorite application for removable, vinyl chandelier stickers is over the headboard of the bed. In a small bedroom, the level of sophistication that the silhouette adds to the decor is amazing.

WHAT STYLE OF DECOR

I have used chandelier decals and wallpaper cutouts in bedrooms with black and white polka dot bedding, damask bedding sets as well as funky, shabby chic bedrooms. The appliques come in various colors, but my favorite combination so far has been black when used on a freshly painted tan or camel colored bedroom wall over a black lacquered headboard. You could almost imagine the faintest glow of light reflected on crystal beads only better.

BLACK and WHITE POLKA DOT BEDDING SETS

What kind of bedding set blends with purple zebra, lime green and salmon pink? Black and white polka dot bedding, of course! There you have it, girlfriend black and white polka dot bed sets are a superb way to kickstart your teen's bedroom design. Teenage girls’ bedrooms are going dotty in a big way and who can blame them if they swoon over the fantastic decorating ideas that you are going to present to them using cool combinations of black and white polka dot fabrics in their bedroom layout.

The idea of having pink and lime green as a background for black and white polka dot bedding is enough to make a tween swoon. Throw in neck rolls and lamp shades trimmed in flashy marabou feathers to match the iron bed that you painted with flat black paint and your teenage girl who considers it totally unsophisticated to show emotion will break training.

Bedroom wall paint ideas for black and white polka dot bedding sets may range from painting your own dots to using stickers to make the decor as dotted as you please. But I like the idea of taping off a painted strip at eye level and painting the taped off area in a wild color that will complement the main wall color. Then taking a small round sponge, begin stamping polka dots evenly spaced on the edges where the main wall color meets the accent color. You will be amazed at how professional these bedroom wall painting ideas look when you are done.

PERSONALIZED NAME WALL DECOR for a KIDS ROOMS

GO HERE FOR MORE




A personalized name is a cool option for wall decor for kids rooms no matter what their age. But when it comes to tween girls up to college age and beyond you may find that name stencils, decals or stickers are a perfect fit. You can have them customized in whatever font, size or style you need, frame them with soulful sayings and use them in lieu of expensive posters or art prints as frugal bedroom wall decorations.


Haven’t you noticed that once your child was able to write her name in script that she started to cover her belongings with her name. Chances are that if her name contained the letter "I" that it was dotted with hearts, flowers or smiley faces. And even if her name was lacking that particular letter, she managed to decorate the letters in some way. I remember decorating tops, sides and bottoms of each character so completely that even my mother had to study it closely to recognize it.

Once I left the preteen stage behind, I spent my teenage years blowing my name up into graffiti style letters. The lettering for the personalized name that I preferred looked like big, fluffy clouds or balloons that I drew on my book covers and notebooks. But I knew better than to use my art as wall decor in my room. My mother would have been really mad if I had messed up the paint!

Now there are ways of putting your child’s name on bedroom walls that won’t damage the paint. There are hanging wall letters and name decals that at most require a single tack or a sticky, removable hanger to install them wherever you need some personalized name wall decor for your kids room. You can also order custom name stencils that come with the cute hearts and flowers pre-cut and ready to paint if you want something more permanent than a sticker.

Hanging a baby's or child’s personalized name or letters on the bedroom or nursery wall is not just stylish. As funny as it sounds, I believe that it helps to build self esteem by giving them a sense of belonging. We all need our own space and when we are young maybe it makes us feel more secure to see our name on stuff that belongs to us. Surely there’s a reason that teenage girls spend so much time doodling their names on everything they own. We may as well expand the practice to include personalized names for wall decor.

SURF MURALS, WALL DECALS and ART

If you are in the market for colorful, fun and invigorating wall art with a modern look, a surf mural might be what you need. Scenic ocean views of surfers riding the waves on their colorful surfboards can transform any living area from everyday humdrum to high fashion that’s cheap and incredibly easy to install.

SURF MURAL SIZE

There are times when big is better. Modern styles of surf bedroom and den decor favor the crisp, clean look that a large sofa length surf wall mural presents. Contemporary homes by definition are decorated in a sleek and clutter free fashion. The wall hangings, art and furnishing may be sparse. But each piece is selected to make a big decorative statement. Large pieces of artwork fall right in line as rarely is more than one necessary and the decorative impact is huge.

PRICE

Surf murals with bold graphics with bright colors don’t come at a cheap price.
However, the fact that one piece of artwork will be all that is required should be factored in to your decision making process. Plus, no frame is required for most surf murals especially wallpaper murals that come pre-pasted and ready to mount directly on the wall. I find it disturbing that home owners reject the decorative benefits of wallpaper murals based on price without making the proper considerations and bottom line comparisons.

There are two common reasons( neither of which are valid) that my clients have given for rejecting big murals. I’m going to list them for you here so that you don’t make the same mistakes when buying surfing wall art for your decorating project. One reason is that the initial price seems expensive. The other is that they feel that artwork of that size may be difficult if not impossible for an amateur to mount properly on the wall. Do not let either of these opinions steer you away from purchasing a striking surf mural if your room calls for one.


DIFFERENT STYLES

There are large surf wall murals that work beautifully as a focal point behind the living room sofa. Then there is another, more mobile and versatile style of surf wall art; surf wall stickers and decals. These clever, vinyl cutouts allow you to exercise your own creative decorating ideas where full wall murals will not. You can arrange and rearrange the wall decals with Hawaiian designs, surf boards, palm trees and surfing quotes to your heart’s content. When your teenage girl tires of her surf mural, surf bedding set and bedroom decor, you have the option of relocating your reusable stickers to the bathroom or even to use as part of your decorations in a surf nursery room design for baby.

For surfers who love to live their hobby, surf wall murals are an excellent place to start.

SOPHISTICATED WALL PAINTING TECHNIQUE and DECORATING IDEAS

Nouveau Flower

Wall Decal

Buy at AllPosters.com



I love cool and interesting wall painting techniques and sometimes I find them where they are least expected. While cruising around in search of some funky flower wall decals this gradiated red and black wall almost faded into the background. Don't ask me what made me look deeper into the picture past the leather armchair and the flower decals that weren't the wild colors that I was interested in at the moment, but I'm ever so glad that I did.

What fun it would be to try your hand at such a sophisticated, muted gradiation of colors. A wall that seems almost airbrushed by design projects such a peaceful atmosphere. I can picture a wall painting technique using a black glaze over a deep Chinese shade of red in a teenage girl's bedroom with a black comforter and a spray of cherry blossoms in silhouette or some Asian lettering decorating the bedroom walls as a focal point to the side of a conversation area, over a dresser or taking the place of framed artwork over the headboard of the bed.

BETTY BOOP WALL MURALS - BETTY BOOP WALLS

Buy at AllPosters.com



Now you can carry your Betty Boop wall murals with you wherever you go! These removable wall stickers, decals and appliques can brighten the walls of your favorite soldier's military barracks or turn a college dorm room into a colorful place for Betty to play.

Vary the size of the wallpaper cut outs to cover a large area. Use one large image in the center surrounded by small pictures of Betty in various costumes to design a Betty Boop image gallery of her posing as devilish diva, a sexy French maid or a nurse. Whether your preference is Betty in her classic Marilyn Monroe pose with a boatload of hot air blowing her skirt up to expose her shapely legs or Betty as an Angel of Mercy in a crisp, white nurse's uniform, there are vinyl decals that will get your Betty Boop walls in good shape.

Speaking of good shape; are your walls smooth or are the surfaces rough with less than perfect paint? Betty Boop wall murals can cover those bad spots with clean graphics and nobody will ever know that you took the quick and easy way to give your bedroom a complete makeover without ever having to buy a bucket of paint or operate a paint brush.

When the time comes for you to move on to another location, simply roll up your Betty Boop wallpaper mural pieces and take them with you wherever you go. Add a few new stickers to keep your display fresh and interesting as time goes by and take comfort in knowing that your Betty Boop walls will always be there to lighten the mood in your decor.

TINKERBELL FAIRIES - TINKERBELL DECALS and POSTERS

Buy at AllPosters.com



Quickly before your tween begins to question whether Peter Pan's Tinkerbell Fairies really exist, pick out one of the Tinkerbell comforter or bedding sets and get it on the bed so that you can enjoy the little girl look in your daughter's bedroom just a little while longer.

After you get that done, you might as well decorate the walls with some Tinkerbell fairies wallies, stickers and decals. Large cut out pictures of Tink in her emerald green dress can share some wall space with butterflies and smaller, less important fairies that are gathered to enchant your visitors and show their support for the celebrity in the group.

Tinkerbell - Pure Magic Poster Buy at AllPosters.com

If a complete mural centered around Peter Pan's Tinkerbell fairies isn't your cup of tea because of limited area or because you like your wall art to be more traditional and possibly collectible; Tinkerbell posters might be more to your taste. You get the same cute, blonde fairy with a broad array of colors to give your decorating project a lift for an extremely affordable price.

When your daughter reaches the age when her love of fairytales is replaced by teenage romance novels, the comforter can easily be removed and replaced with a more mature design. As the bedding may have made a trip or two through the laundry by this time which will leave the fabric none the worse for wear; tossing it may be your only option. However, your Tinkerbell decals and framed Tinkerbell posters will look just as fresh as the day that you hung them on your preteen's bedroom walls so you can save them for when your child has children of her own or give them to another little girl who adores Tinkerbell fairies and wants a gallery of their pictures in her room.

I was about to come to the conclusion that if I wanted to decorate the walls in big, bold dots I would have to paint the polka dots on the walls myself. There are pros and cons with this process. The upside would be that you could paint the dots to fit the size of the room which is good in small bedrooms. You could use bright, funky colors but scale them down so they wouldn't overpower the space. The downside is that if you are renting an apartment or implementing your decorating ideas for a girl's dorm room painting is pretty permanent.

The answer to this decorating problem would be to use wall stickers! Reusable and temporary wall decorations have their place in this commitment phobic, mobile world that we live in and I'm crazy for them! Decorate the bedroom walls and if your teen decides she wants to give the furniture arrangment a makeover, so what? Simply peel and stick your decals where they will look the best!

HOT TINKERBELL GIFT IDEAS for TEEN GIRLS

Characters from children's storybooks might not be, well....cool and stylish enough to bring a smile to an older girl's face, but you can bet beautiful, blonde Tinkerbell is always trendy.

Modern tweens and preteens are very sophisticated and even we don't want to give them items that are sexy or too mature they don't want the same stuff that they've been playing with since they were little. I've found some gift ideas will allow mom and dad to keep their girl's innocence for a few more years but won't embarrass her in front of her friends at the party. Indeed when she opens her Disney Tinkerbell Mix Max media player, every mom in the place will know that there will be pressure to stop at the local discount electronics store on the way home!

To ease the competition among the teens at the party (teen girls can go wild with envy for weird reasons), send them home with something cute (but inexpensive) with Tinkerbell pictures on it. All teenage girls like to dress up their cellphones, so here are some ideas for cheap Tinkerbell party favors on up. You could present some Tinkerbell cell phone charms that cost just a few dollars or spring for a cell phone case that would set you back ten dollars or less. A cell phone cover or faceplates for the girl's new Razr V3 would label you as the hostess with the mostest!

If you plan to go the faceplate or cellphone cover route, check with your guest's moms beforehand and make a list of how many girls have Nokia or Motorola phones as you will need to shop for your party favors according to brand.

DIAMONDS and STRIPES - A COMBINATION of TWO COOL WALL PAINTING TECHNIQUES

GO HERE FOR MORE!




Four walls covered in a bold diamond pattern might be a little bit overpowering even for a sassy teenage girl's bedroom wall decorations, so what's a decorator to do? I would say that if diamonds are to be a girl's BFF (best friend forever) the wall painting technique might benefit from a chair rail. You can use a faux chair rail that's been painted as a break at the right height or if you prefer a 3D effect, you can nail some wooden trim as it's not too expensive. If you want to do something funky and fun, you can hot glue some fake fur, feathers or beaded trim in coordinating colors. Silk flowers at regular intervals can be cool, too. It all depends on your bedroom color scheme or decor.

You can stencil your large wall diamond designs above or below the chair rail and then tone them down with painted stripes below the chair rail. So long as you keep the color combinations similar, you should be in good shape! Here's a cool decorating tip to add a little something special to your diamond pattern; at the tip of each diamond glue or nail in a decorative nail head. You can find lots of burnished silver, brass and gold nailheads to use at your local upholstery shop.
