Wall Candy

Decorating walls with decals has become a bit of a trend. They’re especially great for children’s rooms, where redecoration is a constant. Decals offer a way of changing a look without having to repaint.

Allison Krongard, the owner of WallCandy is launching some new designs this week. I really admire people who are brave enough to start new careers. Allison worked as a sales rep. for Knoll International for eight years. She developed WallCandy after being asked frequently by friends and family for stylish ideas to decorate babies’ rooms.

Her designs are styled primarily for children rooms, teens, and areas of the home that could use a little more whimsy. Here’s a look at some designs I particularly like.

The birds are new - just launched this week. The trees have several new decals which you can add to your basic tree. These would be wonderful in a bedroom or playroom. The kids could play with these and create something new every day. I really like that idea.

My favorite is the Paul Smith Collection. They’re sold in sets of 80 spots for $68.
I’ve used decals only on furniture. I had a desk made for a teen that was topped with flames. Does anyone have experience using decals on walls? Are they difficult to apply?
