9 Creative Ways to Use Decals Around Your Home

Designer Paola Roder in Atlanta, Georgia, wanted to pump up the color in her guest room. Enter hand-drawn vinyl dot decals from Kenna Sato Designs, arranged randomly. A playful pairing: the pom-pom blanket (from Target) on the bed.

The blue decals used here come in a long roll with paper backing. Cut strips slightly taller than the drawer fronts and remove the drawers and knobs. Starting with the top drawer, adhere the decals on an angle. (You can use an extra strip as a spacer between stripes.) Fold the excess over the drawer edges, and trim. For the next drawer, do the same, but angle the stripes in the opposite direction. Repeat for each drawer; replace the drawers and knobs.

What we used:

• Dresser: Prepac Milo 26- 1/2"W x 16"D x 41"H manufactured wood chest in white from Overstock
• Decals: EasyStripe peel-and-stick striping decal in ocean from Walls Need Love
  
  

Open the bag and slip it over the narrow end of an ironing board to separate the front of the bag from the back. Apply the decal (it comes in one piece) to the front of the bag, following the package instructions.

What we used:

• Bag: Sonia Kashuk Square Clutch PVC makeup bag from Target
• Decal: Kiss & Makeup decal from Etsy: BrickroomDesigns

These decals are precut into shapes and come on sheets organized by color. Place them all over the chair to create a terrazzo pattern. Some kinds of decals are repositionable — these are — so if you don’t like a piece’s placement, simply peel it off and re-stick it.

What we used:

• Chair: Zipcode Design Downridge wood chair in white from Wayfair
• Decals: Terrazzo reusable wall decals in color combo 1 from Kenna Sato Designs
