"Are you a wallpaper commitmentphobe? If so, I hear you. I've had the same five samples taped to my wall for more than two years now; I am so locked in indecision I don't even notice them anymore. Wall decals are a great solution for people like us. The selection gets bigger and bigger every day, from classic Eames decals to furniture silhouttes, fingerprints to giraffes. Here's a dozen things you can do with them:
1. Get organized
This chalkboard memoboard can be changed daily (chalk is included). Best of all, it does not require a messy painting project.

2. Add a headboard
No room for a headboard? Don't worry, there is always room for a headboard decal.

3. Create a gallery wall
This designer has created a custom wallpaper look with these fun decal frames. It's much less cluttered and chaotic than if they actually had photographs in them (though you could attach photos to the wall and put the decals around them if you so desired; it would be a lot less expensive than framing).

4. Add Eames
One of the least expensive ways to add some mid-century modern Eames to your home is via these clever wall stickers. Channel your inner Charles and Ray when arranging them.

5. Mimic wallpaper
Have you seen this guest room on Houzz and wondered where to buy the wallpaper? It's actually very carefully composed wall decals. "The artist who sold me the decals also sent a detailed drawing based upon measurements I sent her of exactly how to arrange the decals to get the pattern right," says interior designer Jeanette Van Wicklen.

6. Add color and furniture
"For the this kid's room, we wanted the white furniture to stand out so we placed a bright colored decal to silhouette it which gives it more depth," says interior designer Vanessa De Vargas. "Now the white furniture piece doesn't get lost against the white wall, and pops more with the piece in front of it," she says.
"Also, because the room didn't have a junction box, we added the chandelier behind the bed as a faux chandelier for the room. It gives it a sense of purpose, and decorates the bed area without having to hang anything."

8. Decorate outdoors Interior Designer Jordan Cappella says, "If you don't want to commit to a permanent paint color or wallpaper, using BLIK decals the affordable/creative way to change up any room. Your only limitation is your imagination!"
Here Cappella used stickers on the front gate of this prefab showhome.

9. Bring the forest indoors
These full-scale birch trees on a kelly green background create a magical woodland accent wall.
10. Provide an inspirational quote
These words were an appropriate choice for this family studio in The Upward Bound House
11. Branch out
This serene nursery uses a bold David Hicks geometric wallpaper on one accent wall, and balances it out with sweet birds on branches on the other side. Note the way the branches seem to emerge from the trim around the door.
Tip: Bring your wallpaper to the paint store to have a matching paint custom mixed.
