to have wall stickers in our dining room?

[Aworryingtrend]

Or are they unspeakably naff?

I was thinking something like this:

eat drink enjoy

bon appetit

We are skint after re-doing the kitchen and can't afford an amazing piece of original art work, etc etc. But worry they belong on the 'things that are dated' thread.

Do you have (non-kids) wall stickers in your home? AIBU/naff?

YY agree with sayithowitis

try bouf.com, some of their wall stickers are very original and quirky.

I made my own wall letters out of cardboard and painted them, for an even more low-budge approach! They're a little bit more utilitarian, though: it says "FLOSS" in my bathroom, and "OM NOM NOM" on my kitchen door. I painted them in co-ordinating colours and went around the edges with a silver marker, I think they look quite nice - but then I am a student and I have low standards.

low-budget*

An Ordnance Survey Map of a place that's special to you? About £8 to buy. Frame it if you want it to look smarter than blu-tack. I've used eFrame before and been pleased - frames made to order.

If you're not sure about writing then maybe something more neutral like this ?

I prefer Blik wall decals meself.

You say you don't have the money for an origional piece of artwork...... why not make one?

I turned a large ikea ribba frame (holds 15 6x4's) into a funky picture. I removed the origional mount, had a new one cut, choose a phrase/quote I liked and had it made up using old scrabble letters. The whole thing cost under £35.

Not on the high street also do posters for a reasonable amount that can be framed up to make them look more expensive.

i like these.

i am going to put some in the children's rooms.

otherwise we love maps and will put some up.

and just reread your message about not kids rooms. there are some gorgeous non kids one on the site, unfort we don't have room in our new place.

We have a Dandelion wall decal in our front room its so lovely it's about 6ft every one asks were I got it from

You can find much nicer wall decals on www.esty.co.uk

I love the Penguin print idea, but then I'm a mad-book person so personal taste.

If you like it, then go for it, but personalise it rather than have a generic Bon Appetit. It's not my sort of thing but it's good for covering space. For a dining room, why not have a large mirror there instead, especially if it's the wall facing the window?
