Top idea to decorate your windows this Christmas in 2011

Decking the halls with boughs of plastic holly is a thing of the past.  There are numerous way to decorate your shopfront or office in a modern yet cost effective manner. Both financial cost and environment cost can be avoided and you can give your customers a better Christmas too!

SIMPLE, REUSABLE, AFFORDABLE

A top idea for decorating your shop windows is to use mega kits of stars and dots to create wonderful festive season designs on your shop front.

The kits come in various sizes and consist of dots and stars.

Using intuitive worksheets, you peel and stick and arrange the shapes into Christmas wreaths, Christmas swirls, Christmas trees and as many ideas as your imagination allows.

Keep the backing paper and when it is time to remove, place the dots and stars back on the backing paper for next year.

Brighten dark rooms with full wall colour graphics

Working with rooms where there is no natural light can often be a challenge when decorating offices and commercial spaces.

A tidy idea for bringing some of the outdoors inside is to install a full wall graphic of a bright and colourful outside scene.

This example below is an image of Busselton Pier which has some nice light tones of blue and was used to lift the general mood of this computer training centre.  We combined this with some wall quotes in a soft blue on an adjoining wall to carry the colour around.

It is pretty cost effective as well, and well worth getting a quote so you can start planning enhancements for your internal offices.

You can visit our commercial wall art gallery to see other ideas for decorating internal offices.

Using vinyl on perspex to make a sign

You can easily make a sign using vinyl designs or wall lettering.  This is useful if you are not wanting the vinyl to be applied directly to your wall like wall stickers, and works exceptionally well for office signage.

In saying that we have done some amazing  designs that are then mounted on perspex and it is an unusual and funky artwork for the house.

In this example below we specifically printed our vinyl in a matt finish on a matt surface perspex piece to ensure there was no reflection at all.  Perspex comes in either a matt or shiny finish and can be made in over 20 different colours so you can create some awesome effects with applying vinyl to the perspex.

Wall art quotes that enhance your decor- not just wall lettering!

One of the tips that we often pass onto our customers that we design and install walls for, is that you don't have to do it all at once.  Pick some key walls and have some designs done for them, and then later on, "grow" your decorating with further enhancements.  It doesn't cost you, the customer, any more money than if you went ahead and decorated every wall in your business.

We have been adding additional elements to the Nature's Energy group of day spas, and our latest enhancements are shown below.  This is not just wall lettering- this is beautiful wall art quotes that are designed to compliment an already serene and delicious decor in the day spa.

Above shows wall lettering installed on a tiled wall in a steam and sauna room.  Once installed in dry conditions, the vinyl can withstand heat and steam in operational conditions.

Directional signage is a must and can add a professionalism to businesses that although subtle, is extremely appealing for customers.

Wall quotes designed in an artful and inspiring way can greatly increase the ambience for your customers.

And our brand new Tree of Emotion which is a fantastic way to fill a wall space and give some lightness to darker areas.

Natures Energy is an award winning day spa that engaged us to design the wall art quotes for their treatment rooms and you can see more of that original wall quote work by clicking here...

Go crazy with your wall sticker words!

Love this!!

This is a combination of about 3 of our wall word mixes.  Vivid Impressions went crazy with them and made this gorgeous heart of words.  We thinks we might "borrow" that idea back!

The studio looks fantastic and we think the heart design is a great feature.

Wall words from Cool Art Vinyl are vinyl cut lettering that are supplied on a backing paper.  A clear application tape is used to transfer the pre spaced letters to the wall surface, and shabam, a hand painted look in no time at all.

Cute wall to display owl wall stickers

Owl stickers are very popular for decorating young kids rooms.  They are gentle, can be unisex and look awesome in various colours.  For more info on decorating with owl wall stickers click here...

We like the way this customer has used the "wires" supplied with our Owl on a Wire wall sticker set to decorate her daughters room.  It looks great and suits the dimensions of her bedhead in the room.

The great thing about decorating with wall sticker designs that can be varied for long or short walls, is that you can buy one kit and adjust it to suit your own needs!

Decorating school libraries with wall words and wall quotes

Another amazing school library has just been completed, this time in Victoria.  Really inspiring effort on behalf of the team at this school.

They chose the words and wall quotes and basically mocked it up themselves.  We then took the reins to finesse designs and put them into reality. 

The truly amazing part- is that they arranged their own installation.  For most of it, self installation was not an issue as we specialise in making graphics that can be self installed.

However, the 5m wide massive wall wordles starting 2m up from the ground would be a challenge even for the best installer.  See their handy work below- installed wall words and wall quotes....

The below wall quote from the Wild Things fits a wall 3m wide.

This Dr Seuss wall quote was designed in a curvy fun style to make the library wall even more interesting.

 

Simple directional signs were made to help identify parts of the library.

This Shine with Life, Learn with love and Grow with God is a real feature of the library and fits beautifully above the book shelving.

These are just some great ideas for decorating school library spaces with words and wall quotes made from vinyl.

Work the senses- colour, texture and typeface make exciting wall quote decoration

Wall quotes can involve different sizes, typefaces and textures of vinyl making it a very versatile and exciting decorating idea.

This silver vinyl below looks amazing when you walk into the office.  It reflects depending on the different angles and is a really trendy way to add some zest to a decorating space.

 

Using two contrasting colours but sticking in the same shades will help to add depth and further interest to the space.  We also recommend this for smaller spaces as it helps the space look tidier by having colours that work together rather than against eachother.

 

Colours and office style were all picked by LegallyBAS, our client, and we just worked with their ideas to add wall lettering that complimented the design.

By using hot pink wall lettering on the grey wall, and shiny silver vinyl lettering on the pink walls, there is an intiguing depth to the office design- with different lights reflecting off the silver lettering.  It looks just amazing!

Wall art stickers for schools, libraries and education

Using wall art stickers to decorate educational spaces is almost the perfect decorating tool!  The kids can't take them off, they add colour and life to important areas, and they can be directional helpers, and well as promoting the values and vision of the school through out the grounds.

For kids wall stickers that are going on walls, teachers and or school maintenance can easily install.  For glass we recommend that you consider getting a proper installation done.

The other key consideration when decorating schools is to ensure that the vinyl being used is a durable, and high quality vinyl.  The last thing you want is to see wall stickers peeling off the wall and looking tacky and cheap.

Some examples from a recent installation are shown below.

 

 

Simply adding a sentence here or there, a few colourful characters and some birds can transfer a primary school or junior play area.

For senior schools, using vision, mission and value statements can make a huge impact both on the students and the staff.

For examples of some senior school statements see here.

The below picture is a little dark, but shows the full wall value statements.  Click on image to enlarge the wall art image.

Coming up with some school vision statements is all you need to do.  Send them through to a vinyl designer and they can mock up some different fonts/ colours for you and way we go.
