New Design - Bamboo Leaves

I love this new design (if I must say so myself!) :)

These Bamboo Leaves come in a set of 2 so you can stack them up high or spread them out wide, they'll definitely fill up those blank walls!




Also, say hello to our new colours "Violet" and "Mint" - great for summer (in the USA at least)! For us Aussies, at least they'll brighten up your living space!

Dawanda Advertisement Feature


I've just discovered that one of my designs has been doing its rounds on Dawanda Ads! I recently joined up with Dawanda - a site based in Europe that's dedicated to handmade goodies - and it's such an honour to have been chosen to represent the site! I was confused at first when I saw the ads as I hadn't been informed, but the air has now been cleared and Print and Pattern even did a wonderful blog mention on this for me! Thanks guys! This Paisley wall decal design is available both at Dawanda and Etsy.

New Design - Dog Trails

This one's for the dog lovers! Give these puppies a good home! They are such an adorable mix and can be arranged however you like. Line up these wall decals to form one long length or scatter them all over the house :)

New Design - Flock On A Wire

A variation to our ever popular "Hanging Out" wall decal, this one is even cuter! Each piece consists of 2 birds facing each other sitting on barbed wire. You get 6 pieces to play around with, the total length can be arranged to about 1.8 metres long. Great for filling up long blank walls :)

Fabulous Online Finds

I love Daisy Janie for their handmade handbag collection! It showcases original fabrics that represent a mix of favorites: bold colors, abstract layers and dramatic geometrix...all blended and balanced to create rich & dynamic patterns. Simple and clean, the custom fabrics are front and center. With minimal hardware, the design philosophy at Daisy Janie is clear: use only what you need.

Their range includes handbags, totebags, pillow covers and if you are brave enough to create your own, you can even buy their fabric by the yard! This Bloom fabric is definitely my favourite.

Visit the Daisy Janie online store today! :)

Tomorrow marks the first month of selling Decorettes on Etsy and I must say I am quite pleased with the results so far. We've had quite a few sales in this first month which has far surpassed my initial target figure considering well, we're only in our first month?

We've squeezed out way onto the frontpage of Etsy (see previous post), been talked about on blogs like Wren and The Peach Tree, have been chosen as the Editor's pick by Bust Magazine and will even be showcased in their next newsletter! We must be good... *grin*

So if you've been eyeing our decals, maybe today is time you try them! Shop today at Decorette - your source of fun, functional and affordable wall decals! Oh and I also wanted to promote our bestseller by far to date :)

Frontpage Glory!

Yep! Our very popular "Hanging Out" wall decal (bottom row, middle picture) was featured for a brief moment on the frontpage of Etsy today! I managed to grab a screenshot before it changed like it does about a zillion times a day. I just had to do some shameless promo :)

FAQ Series #1

A lot of people may already know what wall decals are, yet many may not have heard of this "thing" before and have absolutely no idea how it works or what it does (much like myself when I first came across it). This FAQ series is designed to help you gain a better understanding of what a wonderful and functional product wall decals are - and be warned, anything fun can be addictive!

What Are Decorettes?
Decorette is our line of wall decal designs specially cut and hand finished from ultra thin, high quality matte vinyl. This vinyl has a low tack removable adhesive, allowing the decals to be stuck onto any flat surface and removed without leaving any sticky residue or harm to most surfaces.

How Long Will Decorettes Last?
Indoors, these decals will last between 3 to 5 years as long as it is not too humid and away from direct sunlight. Outdoors, their lifespan is about 2 to 3 years before they may start to peel.

Will Decorettes Harm My Wall?
Generally, these vinyl decals will peel off without leaving any sticky residue or harm to the surface. However, it is impossible to guarantee this for all wall conditions, depending on the exposure (sunlight) it gets, the type of paint on the walls and how old the paint is. In some cases, there may be some minor paint flecking that will require touch ups when the decals are peeled off. If you have freshly painted walls, it’s best to let them dry for up to 3 weeks before attempting to stick vinyl decals on. Paper and wallpaper surfaces are not suitable unless a permanent adhesion is expected.

Are Decorettes Re-Usable?
No, the decals are “removable” but once they are peeled off, they are not reusable.

I hope this has helped you gain a better understanding of how our wall decals work! Visit our online store to start shopping and get hooked on our designs! :)

Welcome to Decorette's blog! Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to score the blog "decorette.blogspot.com" (which now belongs to another interior design blogger) but I'm happy enough with my second ingenious choice - at least it's pretty obvious what it's about!

Anyway, to give you some insight as to who we are, Decorette is a line of self-adhesive vinyl graphics created for people who want to easily transform the look of their room space in minutes. A fantastic alternative to wallpaper and paint, these vinyl art decals are so thin, designs look like they are painted on.

Quick and easy to apply, these can be affixed to any smooth, flat surface like a wall, fridge, mirror, window, laptops, the ceiling and even the floor. The possibilities are just endless! Simply choose your space, then peel and stick to create instant art designs without the hassle of paint, tools or mess.

The best thing about these is that decorettes are completely removable so when you’re ready for a change, simply peel off and start again! (disclaimer: there are too many conditions - i.e. humidity, sunlight, etc - and types of surfaces and paint, that this cannot be guaranteed for all surfaces. In most occasions, surfaces will not be harmed when the decals are peeled off, however, some walls with old paint might suffer from slight flecking and may need touch ups.)

Oh and one more thing - we love custom orders so please feel free to email us at decorette@yahoo.com with your requests!
