Introduce COLOUR to your life

 Boring white walls ...NOT this season!
Introduce COLOUR to your life and see how it instantly boost your mood
I don't talk about cromatherapy ,but about colour happiness -colourful walls  makes everyone smile and this is a proven fact!!!
Here are 3 different ways and techniques of  introducing colour to your walls-
This is how I did it------>

DECORATIVE PAINTING & STENCILLING 

Colourful walls  painted with decorative wash technique and  variation of stencilled flowers
And,don't be afraid to add additional colour-hang picture frames in different shapes ,sizes and colours to emphasise the wall art

Art postcards in colourful frames above my window  

Use art postcards in colourful frames  for additional flare
Hung them in unusual places -not everything must be in perfect order,actually ,disorder makes the art pop even more!!

WALL STICKERS  or DECALS 
If you are not a crafter and have fear of free hand drawing and stencilling ,use the simplest way possible to add colour to your walls -get some fun and colourful vinyl stickers or decals

 my kids room wall

Paper and fabric wall stickers gathered into a fun flower bouquet. 
Some additional flowers were stencilled and freehand drawn to add some more dimension to the wall art- NOT a must,but DEF adds flair

an armchair found in the dumpster got a new life with cherry blossom & butterflies fuchsia canvas    

Reupholster an old armchair with funky colourful fabric for additional whimsiness 

WALLPAPER 
I think this is the easiest wall transformer ever invented -wallpaper !
And it doesn't even have to be an actual wallpaper too,you can decoupage practically ANYTHING onto your walls -seriously !!!
I adhered decorative paper from "Back to Asia" paper pad stack by DCWV onto my studio walls using simple tool  by Xyron -the awesome Creatopia machine  and the result was striking

So see...it's easy ,fun and adds SO MUCH character to your space , a total MUST DIY

GO add colour to your life ,cause colour IS  the new black!!!
