Who says vinyl wall decals are used strictly for decorative purposes? Sure, you can spruce up the décor of any bedroom, hall or area inside your home by applying a stylish vinyl decal to the wall, but another idea is to use them as a grow chart. DesignWithVinyl.com offers dozens of different vinyl growth charts, available in various sizes, shapes, colors and designs.

What Is a Vinyl Growth Chart

A vinyl growth chart is exactly what it sounds like: a vinyl decal that's used to measure the growth of one or more children. It's not uncommon for parents to create their own growth charts simply by making a mark on the wall during their child's birthday. While this is certainly an effective way to keep track of a child's growth, it doesn't offer any real decorative value to the room.

Still not convinced that a vinyl growth chart is worth the investment? Check out some of the many benefits they offer listed below:
  • Allows you to see exactly how much your child has grown from year to year.
  • Using the information given in a vinyl growth chart, you can talk with your family doctor to ensure your child is growing at a healthy rate.
  • The vinyl growth charts available here at DesignWithVinyl.com are beautifully crafted in a way that's sure to bring more life and vibrancy to your home.
  • Vinyl growth charts allow parents to track their child's growth without messing up the walls.
  • Let's face it, they are fun!

How To Use a Vinyl Growth Chart

If this is your first time hearing about vinyl growth charts, let me explain how they work: First, you'll need to apply it to the wall with the measurements running vertically. Most vinyl growth charts begin at 20”, so measure your wall ahead of time and place a small mark using a pencil or pen at 20”. In order for it to be accurate, you must apply the growth chart with the bottom resting at the 20” mark (assuming this is the lowest measurement depicted on the chart.

With the growth chart applied to the wall, you can begin marking your child's growth. There's really no wrong way to accomplish this, but most parents choose to mark their child's growth on a yearly basis. Each time their birthday rolls around, have your child take off his or her shoes and stand against the vinyl growth chart. Next, draw a line on the part of the decal where the top of their head reaches. You can also write the date or your child's age at the time of this measurement for future reference.

The walls say a lot about a room. When you first step foot into a person's home, you'll immediately notice the walls. This can either be good or bad depending on how the homeowner decorated them. Leaving the walls plain will create the 'blank canvas' effect, which is typically frowned upon by professional interior designers. On the other hand, going overboard with the wall decorations may create a cluttered appearance that does the room no justice.

This week, we're going to discuss two of the most popular decorative solutions for interior walls: traditional paintings and vinyl wall decals. While both can be used to achieve an attractive room or indoor environment, there are some major differences between the two that shouldn't be overlooked. If you're still scratching your head trying to figure out which one is right for you, keep reading to learn more about vinyl decals vs traditional paintings for room décor.

Vinyl Wall Decals

·         Inexpensive (prices vary depending on the design, size and other considerations, but most fall within the $20-$25 range).
·         Easy to install and requires no special tools or equipment.
·         Applied flush with the wall so it looks more natural.
·         Literally thousands of different vinyl designs available. If you have a particular interest or hobby, chances are there's a design available that reflects it.
·         Doesn't damage the paint or wall.
·         Budget-friendly alternative to painting an entire room.
·         Can move them around simply by peeling them off and placing it on a new location.

Traditional Paintings

·         Typically requires a hanging nail or screw, along with a hammer at the very least.
·         May damage if someone accidentally bumps into it.
·         Oftentimes leaves small but noticeable holes in the drywall.
·         Paintings are not flush with the wall, so they tend to look more unnatural.
·         Damages easily from the high humidity and excessive sunlight.
·         Bulky and difficult to move from one place to another.
·         Professional framing is downright expensive.

As you can see, vinyl wall decals are the clear winner when it comes to wall decorations. They offer homeowners a greater amount of freedom when decorating rooms or areas within their home. Whether you want to use a single vinyl decal or a dozen, you'll find they are a simple yet brilliant way to improve your home's aesthetics without resorting to traditional paintings.

Are you expecting a newborn sometime within the next nine months? If so, you should use this time to decorate and design their nursery with beautiful elements. The nursery is where your baby will spend most of his or her time, so it's important for expecting parents to create an attractive, relaxing environment. Besides, you'll probably find yourself spending a good deal of time here as well. From rocking your newborn to sleep to changing diapers, the nursery will become your home within a home.

This week, we're going to showcase the perfect vinyl wall decal for your newborn's nursery. Whether you're expecting a boy, girl, or if you prefer to not know the gender, you can't go wrong with this fun vinyl sticker.

The “Baby on Board” vinyl wall decal is ideal for use in a newborn's nursery. As you can see in the photo, it mimics the look and feel of a typical yellow-colored road sign – the only difference being the phrase “Baby on Board” and the colorful design of an actual baby underneath. Measuring 8” by 8”, it's the perfect size to use just about anywhere in the nursery. You can place it above their crib, on the door, mirror, wall or even a piece of furniture.

Nursery Decorating Tips:

·         Don't limit yourself to the traditional pink and blues.
·         There's certainly nothing wrong with these two colors, but
·         there are dozens of other colors on the spectrum to choose
·         from.
·         If there's one thing that all newborns like, it's animals.
·         You can use this to your advantage by adding fun animal
·         figures and designs to your newborn's nursery.
·         Leave some room for pictures! Once your newborn arrives,
·         you'll want to capture those early moments of his or her
·         life in photos and use them in the nursery.
·         Stick with soft colors to achieve a tranquil environment.
·         Use shelves, trunks, chests, plastic tubs and cubby holes for storage (trust me, you'll need lots of storage).
·         Be sure to include a diaper changing station along with all of the necessary supplies for changing dirty diapers.

Note: you can also use the “Baby on Board” vinyl decal on your car window. If you look closely at the decal, you'll notice the baby is actually wearing a seat belt in the illustration, making it an excellent choice for a car window. Placing this decal on your window lets other drivers know that a newborn is riding in your car, so they need to use extra caution around you.
