Sometimes a coat of paint might be too large of a commitment for a rental space, and applying wallpaper can take a level of effort that might be best saved for ownership. So how do you make New Jersey apartments yours without paying an arm and a leg in fees when you move? Luckily, wall decals are now easy to apply and just as easy to remove should you change your mind or relocate.
- Baby Steps
If you’re not ready for a full-wall decal or if you’re hesitant about a specific theme or pattern, there are a few options to keep it small and simple. Happy Decal makes a cute collection of polka dot themes—make them one color or multiple, space them out or keep them close together, or just go crazy and make it up as you go along! Tramps and Thieves has really adorable honeybee decals, allowing you the option to place just a few here and there or make a full wall. It’s totally up to you!
- Wallpaper Effect
There are a few designs that will trick your eye into thinking your wall is covered in wallpaper. A popular choice is simply adding stripes to a wall—you decide on the colors, whether to place them vertically or horizontally, or even how far apart to space them. It’s the perfect way to add the most basic character to a plain wall. Amazon has a wide variety of options for you.
- Bring the Outside In
One of the more popular options is adding floral features to a wall, which instantly lightens and brightens any room. Maybe pick a color theme, or pick a “bouquet” that you’d like to feature, and this way, your allergies won’t have any problems with these decals! Gilt and Wayfair have the coolest collections of watercolor-like décor.
Don’t let your New Jersey apartment hold you back from personalizing your home!
