I am so happy for the winter to get booted out and spring to be ushered in! As a true bred Californian, I feed off the sunshine, lazy afternoons, and color. For the past 4-5 months I have all but none of these things, so I may be a little starved of all things wonderful at the moment. This DIY removable spring floral wallpaper is great for those with non-permanent housing (i.e. renters or college students) and yet it adds so much color and originality to a room! I may have gone a bit overboard by adding the 'fairy' like white flowers over the window but, hey, it's my space! Overall, try to pick more mute colors for a base (i.e. various tones of green leaves/flowers) and then add that subtle punch with a few really bright flowers (for example, the occasional orange, purple, and yellow petaled ones in the picture). I bought a few large bouquets of fake flowers at Joann's when they were on sale for $0.99 each and just broke them apart to turn them into many small flowers. Lining the flowers in vertical rows also helps create a "wallpaper effect" and to organize the colorful, natural burst that has exploded on your wall. Feel free to experiment with colors and designs, though -- just be (colorfully) inspired!
MATERIALS YOU'LL NEED:
colorful plastic flowers
duct tape
(the thinner the better!)
Adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright and colorful space you have created!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea, for a fun temporary wall decoration, beats just having posters! How long did these last before they started getting all droopy?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Charlotte! The best part about it is that I used plastic flowers, so they never wither with time! It's like having spring all year around -- which for me is the best thing ever probably :)
DeleteVery cute idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is surprisingly adorable! I would never have thought to do this, but it would make for a great feature wall at a wedding or event too.
ReplyDeleteHey Gaelan, indeed! It's so simple and takes less than an hour to set up yet completely brightens up your space! It would be awesome for weddings and events, I'm glad you like it :)
DeleteSuch a fun and cute idea! The colors just match the white wall! Thanks for sharing Marjorie!
ReplyDeleteThank so much, Beckie! I truly love color as well, so it's such a delight! Glad you stopped by :)
Deleteoh my goodness, i am loving your blind as well, makes the sun coming through to wake you up even more of a treat (i live in england, we don't get all that much sun!) where did you get it or did you make it?

Thank you, Elle!! I truly love the sun, it is such a great feeling to wake up to this color every morning! The blinds I purchased online a couple years ago from Target. If I remember correctly, they were actually from the Baby section (haha!) but they are very light and billowy -- I guess I'm still a child inside :)
DeleteAren't we all though really?! Such a shame we don't have target in the UK, I'd love to get my hands on some of those! :) xx
DeleteWow, this is a fantastic wedding planning idea, too! You've created such a cheerful, happy space. It must be a wonderful feeling to wake up in that pretty room every morning.

Hey Jen, thanks for your comments! Indeed, it completely transformed my space and I may definitely have to re-think using it again at my wedding, though it may be a while from now! Thanks for stopping by! :)
