Add Vinyl Decals to Your Camping Adventures

Camping is full of adventure and here are some great ideas for using vinyl decals to personalize your camper and your camping gear.

    

For campers you need unbreakable decor that takes up practically no space and Wall vinyl decals are PERFECT! Pick an elegant or a friendly vinyl saying. We have some just for camping, but lots of our kitchen and family wall sayings work well for your camper too.

     

You can use wall shapes, like polka dots or squares, to brighten the decor. Or wall vinyl stripes can add a border or define a use area, like the eating table. Wall decals are easy to use – just peel off the backing and place them on the wall, furniture, or other surface.  

                       

To stay organized, it can be helpful to label your camping gear and kitchen items like mugs and storage containers. We also do personalized decals, and have lots of colors and fonts to choose from. Be sure to tell us if your decal will be used mainly outdoors (like the car/camper decal below). We have both indoor and outdoor decals and there are important differences in material and adhesive! 

  

Don't forget to add vinyl decals to your camping adventures this season!

Expert Tips on Best Paint Finishes for Wall Stickers

Got a redecorating project in mind that will utilize wall stickers? Wonderful!

Here are some tips about the best paint finishes and wall surfaces to help make your project as successful as possible.

1 - PAINT FINISHES - They do make a difference! Satin or glossy paint makes for a good finish to apply wall stickers. Enamel is even better because it is the least porous. Flat finish is too porous for wall stickers to adhere to, and zero VOC paint doesn't work well either.

Wall Decal on Textured Wall

2 - TEXTURE VS SHINE - Shiny paint (satin, gloss, enamel) is a better choice, even if your wall has some texture, than flat paint even on a smooth wall without texture. Our special post about working with texture can be found at Don't Hesitate, You CAN Use Wall Stickers on Textured Walls.

3 - DRYING VS CURING - There is a crucial difference here. Your paint may be dry to the touch but that doesn't mean it has cured (hardened all the way through). Curing can take several days or longer, depending on your paint and on the dampness or coolness of the weather, but you can usually plan for at least 2 weeks. Check your paint can label or contact us at Wall Decor Plus More and we'll try to help you. The stronger the new paint smell, the longer it will take to cure before you can apply wall stickers. The smell likely comes from the compounds and gases in the paint which can break down the adhesive on the wall stickers, so they won't stick well or will fall off a short time after application.

Laundry Room Drop Your Drawers

4 - MOISTURE & WALL STICKERS - Now wait, this doesn't mean wall stickers won't work in your bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room. They will! It's ongoing moisture behind your sheetrock that may play havoc with your wall stickers. Examples: walls that back up to cooling systems, water pipes, overhead windows or windows that have been boarded up–these areas are prone to condensation, which may not be obvious when you apply your wall stickers.

Give Your Kitchen a Spring Spruce-Up!

This year, welcome spring with a total kitchen spruce-up! Start with a good cleaning–clear and wipe out all the cupboards and drawers. You might want to work with a checklist so you don't forget any small appliance (or big ones!) or any of those nooks and crannies.

It's easy to add some fresh color to your kitchen with a new coat of paint. Choose a color to add to the warmth and energy, or try bold colors for a modern look.

Need to change that ho-hum backsplash? Turn it into something unusual–maybe even a focal point! Or, for something totally different, remove your cabinet doors, then paint the inside of your cupboards a striking new color! What a creative way to show off your favorite dishes.

Add organization and ease of use to your cupboards this spring with labels for jars and containers! We have some super cute labels made just for this! Chalkboard vinyl was just added to our website and makes for super cute container labels!
