My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Wall decals for Dining Room

6 years ago

Hello! So I have this newly painted and blank dining room wall directly facing the entry into my house. I was gifted 16 (12x12) decorative decals and an running out of visually pleasing ideas on how to place them in such wall (no need to use all 16, that is clear but...?)
It is a small room and with large window to its right.

Ideas/recommendations please!

    I don’t like the column down the middle of the wall. It splits the room in half visually, which would be OK if you were separating a family room from DR. But that is a single purpose room. They are fun decals so you should do a fun design. Cut 16 pieces of paper same size as decal, keep arranging them on the floor in different patterns, when you like one stick the decals on the wall. I would start in the top right corner working across and down. .
