Bring Outside World Inside Your Home With the help of Wall Stickers - By: Corwin Smith

As our taste for outdoor living and all its various accoutrements gathers pace why not consider a few decorative ideas for bringing the outside in for when the weather’s not so hot. A self-adhesive vinyl wall sticker or decal is an inexpensive way of making a dramatic gesture in your home and many online retailers specialise in designs echoing natures’ bounty. Anything from a single graceful branch to a whole copse can be had for very little considering the impact they make. Make sure to get the matching birds in the contrasting colour!

Another idea for playing with the idea of inside and outside is to bring in and display items you would ordinarily expect to find outside. A wall mounted sundial hanging above the fireplace makes for an amusing alternative to the more usual clock and although it’s useless, it looks great. Why not train a spotlight on it so that it’s always six o’clock and time for a drink. It would also be nice to have a little classical statuary in the corner too wouldn’t it? But it’s from the garden centre and looks a bit nasty so you’ll have to paint it. Break out those marbling techniques you learned in the eighties and before long you’ve got your very own piece of Canova.

Finally, the humble houseplant seems to have fallen off the radar recently which is a shame because the right one doesn’t need much looking after and can look spectacular. Palms seem to do very well in our centrally heated homes and a collection of variously sized and shaped individuals teamed with your Duluxed nymph will make your home a veritable bosky glade. Pots, like everything else come in a fantastic and bewildering range so you’ll have to decide whether you’re urban angular zinc of multi-coloured majolica.

Once again, with a little imagination and a bit of effort you can make a big difference. Wall stickers alone make a huge impact and when combined with a few interlopers from outside will make your home into a garden of earthly delights. Now then, how about some goldfish in the bath….
