We are into an age where we would want everything to happen quickly and easily.Well who doesn't?
This comes at a time when my hubby is constantly lamenting over the boring workplace that he has to be in for major part of the day.
Many a times 'A' works form home and his desk faces a blank wall.Well, we had no other option anyway! The only window in the room doesn't have much of an appealing view to position the desk suitably in front of the window either.
So, we always thought that the wall will see better days and from a blank canvas evolve into something appreciable.Last week,after it became clear that I could not sustain more of A 's cribbing, I decided to do a makeover. A makeover of his work area...
Now, as you might have heard about decals, they are really a quick fix to enliven any area. Also known as wall appliques, wall decals are the easiest and coolest way to transform your living spaces. These special graphic vinyl stickers can be applied to your walls and they’re easy to handle too! Simply peel and stick.
There are multitudes of options available online now a days.One such company that caught my attention was
Chipakk Wall Decals.
Chipakk’s wall decals are typically thin sheets of vinyl on one side and adhesive on the other.Various themes in about 15-18 categories are available.
Chipakk has decals that would fit all age categories and can be best used to highlight even pooja rooms, meditation area and even have decals with quotes that can be easily fixed in office spaces for that much needed boost.
Themes like Chalkboard and glow in wall decal are ones that I have earmarked for a later buy.Kids would simply adore it.They have other popular cartoon characters too!
I must also mention that for the quality guaranteed, the prices seem to be very reasonable.They even make for excellent gift options. Let me give you an idea, of some of the decals that I found interesting.

Ordered for a nature inspired wall decal from chipakk. I felt that a design with nature as the theme,with flora and fauna can bring a lively and chirpy feel to the room. As I finalized on this one, another particular aspect that I realized was that the decal was also multi coloured. Green, orange and brown should also help in bringing the much necessary colour into the room.
To go about the actual process of ordering and delivery of the product was fairly simple and the ordered product arrived within a week neatly packed.It also provides a sample, just in case you would want to try out before fixing the actual decal.

The design is sandwiched between two papers, a transparent sheet and a backing paper. It is relatively simple but there is a certain trick or knack to apply the decal on the wall.You will need a partner to fix it on the wall for sure.Secondly, start from a corner of the sheet and make sure that the design adheres to the transfer sheet. This can be ensured with the help of a 'squeegee' that is provided along with the kit.While transferring on the wall too, do not do it at one go .Instead start the action from the top left corner and proceed downwards slowly making sure that the decal is getting fixed on to the wall.
A step wise instruction sheet is provided which should make your process easy.
It takes just about 15 minutes from start to finish.From the time taken to decide how and where to place the decal to finally get the work done, it's as easy as a song. Believe me!
So this is the Before pic of the room....
And this is how it looks now.
Isn't that an awesome transformation?
And to get all of this done in the absence of my hubby was even more exciting! He was extremely glad to see the much needed change in his work space .So what if he cannot view the real birds and trees. This is the next best to it!
The best thing about Chipakk is that unlike other available decals in the market, they are extremely thin making them look just like paint. They can be applied on any flat surface including walls, glasses, mirrors and tiles. Chipakk is waterproof from the outside. You can wash it with a wet/damp cloth.
So folks, Transforming your plain and boring walls is now easy and mess free...Just hop on to
