How to create an inscription in the interior
There are several ways to diversify your home wall with different inscriptions. You can order decor from a master, purchase a ready-made solution, or make it yourself from available materials.
Wood, metal, fabric and plastic are quite applicable. Text is applied to a bare wall using paints or vinyl stickers. Choose the material based on the overall style of the interior.
Using paint
Acrylic paint is an affordable and popular way to create a beautiful inscription on the wall. Of course, the suggested result depends on artistic skills. If you do not have such talents, it is better to entrust the work to a skilled artist.
He will paint the wall according to your preferences. However, this option for creating an inscription requires significant financial costs.
- If you don’t want to spend money, try solving the problem with inscriptions yourself. First, grab a stencil and paint.
- Many stores sell ready-made templates that are glued to the wall. Didn't find anything suitable?
- Create your own template: print the text on paper and cut out holes with a utility knife. Tape or lamination will help seal the sheets.
To create inscriptions with paint, use a sponge, roller or brush. Fix the stencil tightly on the wall and paint over the free areas. Spray paint speeds up the process, but be careful.
Rich color and smooth texture are achieved by applying 2-3 thin layers of paint. When the paint has dried, be sure to varnish the surface. Then the design will be preserved, despite wet processing.
Painting, stickers
A simple and mobile type of decor. You can purchase it at any store or create it yourself. If you choose the second option, then get ready to print the text on paper and choose a beautiful frame.
Ready-made vinyl stickers attract attention. The material is firmly fixed to the surface. If the design is difficult to erase from the wall, the adhesive decor can be easily replaced.
Photo topics
Thematic photographs provide an opportunity to add a certain mood to the atmosphere.
- Trips.
- Photo of a one-month-old baby.
- Family.
- By event.
Ready-made wallpapers
If you don’t plan to create an inscription for a specific section of the wall, then use a ready-made large-scale solution - wallpaper with inscriptions. However, there is no need to cover all rooms with similar material.
It’s better to make one wall an accent wall and leave the others neutral. Otherwise, the room will become very overloaded, which will clearly not impress visitors.
The ideal option is to have inscriptions on one wall and a bright poster on the other. As a result, we get a harmonious composition.
Vintage posters
Vintage-style wall posters will appeal to fans of Russian constructivism of the 20s, since the main subjects for such posters are interesting articles, newspaper clippings, photographs of popular singers or actors in the past, and other ideas. Such posters always look attractive and create a special atmosphere. For example, several similar pieces in the interior will automatically predispose you to intellectual conversations and friendly gatherings.
DIY inscriptions
Decor in the form of three-dimensional letters can be easily and quickly implemented. It’s especially nice when you have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of a unique home interior.
So, let's look at each variant of 3D letters:
- From fabric. Most often applicable for children's rooms. A common option is a child's name made from three-dimensional cute letters. A similar design is applicable for the bedroom, living room or kitchen. Choose textiles with different prints and colors. There are enough portals on the Internet where they teach you how to create beautiful letters as a decorative decoration.
- Made from polystyrene foam. A budget-friendly way to create beautiful 3D letters at home. The outlines of the letters are applied to the surface and then cut out along the contour. The cut products are sanded and painted in the desired color.
- Made of wood. Ecological material is suitable for creating letters for a children's room and fits harmoniously into eco, Provence or country style. Simple elements can be corrected with a jigsaw and sanded. Finally, we coat the product with varnish and paint it in our favorite color. Carved decor is made only to order from professionals. Illuminated wooden letters look unusual. You can install LEDs yourself.
- Made of metal. Creating decor from such materials requires special skills. However, it is more convenient to turn to experienced craftsmen who will take into account your wishes and create a beautiful product. Metal decor emphasizes the modern and extraordinary style of the kitchen or living room.
What types of posters are there?
The existence of posters began in 1482, when one of the merchants ordered such a unique plot from artists to advertise a book. However, larger-scale production and subsequent distribution of posters was observed only in the middle of the 19th century. Nowadays, this type of decor exists in a wide variety.
According to their purpose, all posters can be divided into advertising, event, educational, author and decorative.
According to the manufacturing method, handmade products, screen-printed, printed and in the form of appliqués. Such decorative products, in most examples, are used to fill the wall space and are a kind of final element of the entire interior.
You should also understand that the posters differ from each other in plot content, which we will discuss in more detail below.
Where to create inscriptions
This decor is appropriate in any room. However, we must not forget about the individual style of each room.
Living room
A great way to place any inscriptions in the form of simple words or entire phrases. All this will certainly reflect the character and taste of the owner of the house.
- Modern living rooms are decorated with products made of plastic, metal or vinyl parts.
- For traditional interiors, it is better to use wooden or painted lettering decor.
Kitchen
Another great place for lettering decor. Use a variety of letter formats: letter pads, chalkboard, stickers, and posters.
The inscriptions “Bon Appétit” or “Coffee” have gained particular popularity. A good move - inscriptions on cans of cereals.
Bedroom
This is a place to relax, so don’t get carried away with overly bright or chaotic prints. Create motivated phrases to wish good morning or good night.
Place the inscription at the head of the bed or opposite. All this will undoubtedly put you in a pleasant mood for the whole day.
Children's
Bright and rich colors on a number of products are suitable for children: letter pillows, stickers, cubes and alphabet posters. In the latter case, this is an unobtrusive method to teach your baby letters and numbers. Using text decor, you can delimit the territory of a boy and a girl.
This is especially true when several children live in the room. Place markers, chalkboards, or magnetic boards so your child can take personal notes every day.
Why decorate the wall above the bed?
There are several reasons why designers pay special attention to the design of the wall above the bed.
Firstly, the bed is the main piece of furniture in the bedroom. It is logical that the sleeping area should be highlighted and emphasis should be placed on it.
Secondly, the wall above the headboard is often decorated in a bright, contrasting way. If you decorate the other walls of the room in a similar way, they will distract from rest and prevent you from falling asleep quickly. The only wall that a person falling asleep does not see is the wall above the head of the bed.
Thirdly, if you wish, you can change the interior on a budget and quickly. It is enough to change the decor above the bed and the room will look different. This is a fairly quick and easy way to change the design of your bedroom.
Finally, by correctly using the over-bed area, you can correct the unsuccessful layout of the bedroom, visually expand or lengthen it, and also hide possible unevenness in the wall.
