Vinyl Lettering for home decor, including wall lettering and wall words

Beautiful Bedroom Walls with Vinyl Lettering

Whether you are considering redecorating your office, home, or business there is a good chance that decorative signs, clocks, and wall words can help you achieve the look you desire.  Whether you want an elegant, professional, or fun look, you can achieve an expensive hand stenciled look without spending a fortune.  How, you might ask?  By utilizing vinyl wall lettering, often referred to as “wall words.”  Wall lettering really is great for decorating any space in your home, and doesn’t have to be applied only to walls, but can be used to create great decor pieces such as decorative signs, or decorative tiles.  However, it is wonderful, and is most commonly used to add words to walls.  This is not only due to how beautiful a well placed quote can be, but because wall lettering doesn’t damage walls, and is less expensive and time intensive than painting – making it the perfect choice for those who rent, or have temporary office space.

People are often astonished at how versatile vinyl lettering can be in regards to home décor and interior design. In fact, there are so many uses for vinyl lettering in home décor that it would take us days, and over a hundred pages just to begin.  However, for those who are new to the idea of using vinyl letters for interior design and crafting, we have listed 5 of the most common ways you can use vinyl to achieve beautiful home decor and craft projects.

  1. Break Up Space With A Border – Another great way to use custom vinyl lettering is to use it as a border.  Whether you choose a graphic type lettering kit, such as flowers, vines, or shapes, or have a border made of words, one thing is for certain – the border will bring a certain charm to the room that you could have never imagined.  Whether you put a border around the top of a childs room (using the words of a favorite children’s song), or put a grape vine border around the chair rail in the dining room, your border is sure to be a hit.
  2. Words That Inspire – You can create the atmosphere you want in any room with a custom quote on one of the walls. This is the most well known use of vinyl lettering in home decor, often referred to as “wall words.” A thoughtfully placed quote can soften the mood in a room, or invoke whatever emotion you seek.  Don’t underestimate the power of words in your decor.
  3. Keep Tabs On Your Dishes — If you’ve every attended a BBQ with friends and family, and lost that special baking dish you loved, then you know how important it is to label things.  Many people defile their glass baking dishes by resorting to a “Sharpie” permanent marker to label their dishes.  However, few consider that you can use vinyl lettering as a stencil, and some inexpensive glass etching cream, to etch a permanent, and beautiful label on any glass baking dish.  Not only will people know who the dish belongs to, but they’ll think you must have spent a fortune (Shhh, it’s our secret).  Etched baking dishes also make a great wedding gift for the couple just starting out.
  4. Signs & Banners — While vinyl lettering is great for home decor inside the home, it can also be used to create banners and signs as well.  You can order vinyl banners online, and add vinyl lettering to them to create a very nice banner.  We did this for our son’s baseball team after they won the state championship. You should have seen my son’s face to come back from the state tournament to a congratulatory banner hanging in the front yard (I think he still has it hanging in his room).  Also, we’ve used vinyl lettering to create nice garage sale signs on foam board.  They’re durable, don’t get blown away like poster board does, and stand up to the elements.  As you can see, what you can achieve with vinyl lettering is only limited by your own creativity
  5. Give Them Something To Look At — Another great use for vinyl lettering in home decor is by using wall lettering to accent a photo wall.  Few things break up a cluster of photos, and draw the eye to them as does a beautiful quote about family, friends, etc.  Most manufacturers have pre-designed quotes specifically intended for this purpose, but you can always get creative and design your own.  The only limit to what you can do with vinyl lettering is that imposed by your own creativity.

Of course, these are only a few of the ways you can utilize vinyl lettering in decorating your home or office.  However, these ideas will hopefully jumpstart your imagination and get you considering all of the many ways you can use vinyl lettering in your home decor.

In your quest to find the right vinyl lettering, there are many choices available online.  Many companies will customize vinyl lettering for you, but one thing to consider is the quality of the vinyl as not all vinyl is created equal.  So, choosing a well established and reputable company is important to ensure you get a quality result.

One type of monogram that has been gaining in popularity is the wedding monogram, which features a couples names and wedding date.  Often, these monograms take advantage of multiple colors, using a dark color in the background, and a lighter color overlay (or vice versa).  While it’s the norm to install these monograms on a family photo wall, they also make great decorative tiles and signs.  The decorative tiles are great wedding or anniversary gifts.

Custom Monogram of Vinyl Lettering

One thing people ask us about on a consistent basis is whether or not we can do custom monograms using vinyl lettering. Vinyl wall lettering monograms can add a lot of beauty to any room in your home.  If you’re not familiar with what a monogram is, amonogram is a motif made by overlapping or combining one or more letters form one symbol. Monograms are often made by combining the initials of an individual or a company, used as recognizable symbols or logos. A series of uncombined initials is properly referred to as a cypher and is not a monogram, although ciphers are frequently referred to as monograms.  An individual’s monogram is often a very fancy piece of art for adorning luggage, clothing, and so forth. Monograms of the names of monarchs are used as part of the insignia of public organizations in kingdoms, such as on police badges.

However, monograms, in the sense that we refer to them, are letters, that generally represent someone’s initials, specifically in regard to their last name.  We have made custom monograms for people to cover a wide variety of uses, including installing vinyl letters monograms on:

I remember as a kid growing up watching the TV Show “Leave It to Beaver” on Nick at Night. What a great show, especially in contrast to all the garbage on television now days.

"Oh, the places you'll go." - Wall Lettering

"Oh, the places you'll go." - Wall Lettering

One of the most utilized rooms of our home is our upstairs playroom.  With three kids, under the age of 6, it’s no wonder the room is so well used.  Because my kids spend so much time in there, I wanted to create a great atmosphere, and did so with wall words made from vinyl lettering.

I started with a theme.  I chose the theme “world traveler.”  I got a large map, had my husband build a frame for it, which I painted black.  Next, I purchased 4 inexpensive clocks from Target.  Above the clocks in vinyl letters I put the words London, Tokyo, Paris, Provo – and set the clocks to reflect the time of each of the places.

Next, I found some fun quotes about travel, like one from Dr. Suess “Oh, the places you’ll go” etc.  These quotes I did in coordinating colors, and randomly affixed them to the walls with the same wall letters.  We ended up with a fun playroom that my kids absolutely LOVE!

One option for adding some appeal to the walls of a nursery or child’s room is to add their name to the wall using wall letters.  Letters that spell a child’s name look great above a crib, dresser, or bookshelf, and they also make a great gift.  When adding wall letters there are a couple of options for making this happen. You can either use wooden letters, or vinyl lettering to to make your wall words.

Wooden Wall Letters

Wooden wall letters come in all shapes and sizes, so you have a number of options here.  they can either be solid wood, or a MDF composite material.  Either way, you’ll usually need to paint them, or add some decorative paper to them using modge podge, or glue. Or, they can be painted in pastel colors for a baby’s room, or vibrant colors for a child or teen’s room.  Some of the benefits of doing it with wooden letters is that you get the 3-D look.  However, your options for creativity are less with this method.  On the other hand, you could use vinyl wall lettering.

Vinyl Letters

Vinyl letters are another way to add wall letters to the walls of a child’s room.  While you don’t get the 3D look, there are some definite advantages to doing it this way.  First, you can tap into your creativity more by getting custom vinyl lettering made to suit your exact need, size, and color.  Also, you get a nice hand painted look that’s much more intricate than what are offered by wood wall letters. You can choose your custom wall words to either feature your childs name, or a favorite poem, etc.  They can also feature cute graphics, and vinyl wall lettering kits make great room boarders as well.

Romantic Quotes in Vinyl Wall lettering

Romantic Quotes in Vinyl Wall lettering

Stenciling words onto your walls has been a growing trend in interior design since the early nineties.  Hcouowever, stenciling has traditionally been reserved for upscale homes due to the cost and labor involved in achieving a professional looking result. In the last couple of years, however, this trend has taken a turn for the better with the introduction of removable vinyl lettering, sometimes referred to as “Wall Words.” Wall Words have come full swing in the last two years as several sites have introduced removable vinyl letters for the walls of your home. Having a custom stenciled look is no longer reserved for those who can afford to have the wall letters painted on, but is available to even those who are seeking to decorate on a modest budget.

Wall Words, and custom wall lettering is now available to anyone wanting to achieve a hand stenciled look – at literally a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, not only can vinyl wall lettering serves the same purpose as a hand-painted stenciled look, but custom vinyl lettering is actually better than stenciling for a couple of reasons. First, vinyl lettering is easy to apply, there is no messy cleanup, and costs less than paint. Secondly, vinyl lettering kits, or custom wall words, are removable without damaging the walls, so there is no need to repaint. This provides those living in apartments, or other temporary living spaces to decorate with a hand-stenciled look, because you can simply remove the lettering at any time – no need to repaint!

Some may be asking, “Why add wall words, or wall lettering to the walls our home or apartment?” The answer is simple; Wall Words can create an inspiring, calming, or uplifting effect to any room in your home. They also give your home a touch of personality, and can bring your own personal charm into your decorating. Once you’ve seen some examples of how wall words can enhance the look and atmosphere of your home, you’ll be hooked! The practicality, cost, and beauty of wall words have inspired me to utilize them in many of the homes and apartments I decorate – You could say I’m “Stuck” on wall words.

Vinyl Lettering Adds Elegant Appeal to Any Bedroom

Vinyl Lettering Adds Elegant Appeal to Any Bedroom

Did you know that the average person spends 1/3 of their life sleeping?  Given such, it’s only fitting that the room in which we spend one third of our lives deserves a little bit more attention when it comes to decorating than most of us give it.  Most people who are aware of their surroundings make an effort to choose stylish bedroom accents, however many features of the bedroom decor go neglected.  The floor, and walls, for example, is one place that few people spend any time on when decorating.

There is no reason in the world why you can’t incorporate your bedroom floor into your overall bedroom décor, and in doing so give yourself a truly unique room. Bedrooms, above all, should suggest comfort and luxury. Scattering some floor pillows around your bedroom will add to the opulent look suggested by your bedding and bed pillows. It’s just one of many different approaches you can take when planning the layout of your bedroom.

Don’t feel as if you’re doomed to failure simply because you lack training in interior design. There are plenty of simple and affordable ways for you enhance not only the appearance, but the “feel” of your bedroom. Try adding a contemporary lock with a few brightly colored modernistic paintings, or some abstract of sculpture, and a few touches of chrome. Choose bedding and bed pillows and complementary colors (black, white, and bright primary colors are all great for modern look.)

The walls are another place you can add simple, yet elegant touches to your home decor.  Consider adding some vinyl lettering in a contrasting color to that of your walls.  For example, silver wall words on a dark red wall give your room a touch of elegance, without being too overwhelming.  These wall letters can go a long way towards giving your bedroom a comfortable, yet elegant feel.
