Decorating Glass Doors with Decals

If you have squeaky clean glass doors at home, in your shop, or at the office, you'd know how important it is to make these "seen" so people don't accidentally walk into them. Funny to bystanders, not so funny for the person involved! Have you ever seen this video of a man running through a glass door? It's hilarious! p.s. no racism intended.

Ok, so he ran through the door, not because he couldn't see it, but because he just wanted to get through it (quite literally). 

Anyway, the point is to make glass doors obvious so people do not run into them - accidental or not. Especially if you have kids at home who run around at a lower eye level... so one solution is to use decals to dress up your glass doors. Read on to see how you can use our decals at Decorette to make those glass doors pretty :)

These pictures show  how you can use our "Clover Pattern" decals as a "floor-to-ceiling", or horizontal strip design to create a subtle yet obvious enough effect on your doors.  

The best thing about these designs is that they are so versatile, you can use them vertically or horizontally depending on your preference and space - and they look great either way!



For even more subtle touches, experiment with our Frosted range of colours (available in White, Rose Pink or Lux Gold - all equally gorgeous!). This material is semi-translucent so it creates a gorgeous (frosty) sandblasted effect, adding instant glam to your plain glass doors.

The picture on the left shows our Blossoming Blooms wall decal in Frosted Lux Gold that is perfect for adding a bit of nature indoors without trying too hard.

Hopefully this has given you some ideas on how to decorate your glass panels, now use your imagination and start decorating before someone gets hurt!

Decorating with Wall Words - Bible Verses

Words on the wall are probably the most meaningful use of decals today - from favourite quotes, to songs, bible verses, or in the form of monograms, decals have transformed bare walls into ones with meaning and a source of inspiration in the homes of many.  

In this post, we've compiled all our bible verses that hold deep meaning in the hearts of many and hopefully you will find one that adds that special meaning to your walls too!

Jeremiah 29:11

With God - All Things are Possible

Faith Hope Love - 1 Corinthians 13:12

Love is Patient - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Serve The Lord - Joshua 24:15

Magnify The Lord - Psalm 34:3

New Designs for the Nursery

Inspired by our own baby girl on the way, here are some of our latest decal designs great for decorating the nursery for your little one!

Woodland Birch - Nursery Wall Decal

Complete with a cute bambi deer, some flying birds, a signboard you can customise with your child's name and some extra text you can customise with your favourite wordings. This Woodland Birch decal will fill up the walls behind the crib (or playroom walls) quite nicely!

As with all our other decals, all elements are individual so you can be creative and place the branches, leaves, signboard and text wherever you like to suit your space. 



Floral Name - Nursery Wall Decal

Customise this sweet Floral Name decal design with your little girl's name (or any word you like!) and personalise her room with a bit of flair.

Great to place along the top of the crib in the nursery, or along the floor of your child's playroom.

Be creative! You can customise with words like "Dream", "Princess", "Baby Girl"... use your imagination and create your own personal piece for your little one's room.

Ribbon Swirls - Floral Nursery Wall Decal

These Ribbon Swirls will look great placed above a baby's crib, or even along the floor of a nursery. Use to your imagination and add a little bit of swirly flair to your children's rooms. Complete with butterfly-like flowers, these can be placed however you like to decorate as much, or as little of the room you like.

Butterfly Monogram - Nursery Wall Decal

It's always a nice touch to personalise the nursery with your little one's name. So we've created a pretty butterfly styled monogram great for a little girl's room! Place this above the crib, her dresser, on the door, wardrobe, mirror, glass window, or even on storage boxes that keep her toys. As long as you have a smooth and relatively flat surface, our decals will be perfect on them!

New Nursery Tree Design

We recently decorated our own Nursery room with this Whimsical Tree (yep! we have a baby girl on the way!) and I personally love it to bits! 

Whimsical Tree from Decorette
So.... (I admit with slight hesitation - after all, everyone wants something unique all for themselves...) I decided to list this in our store so everyone gets a chance to decorate with this gorgeous tree as well!

Trust me, it's HUUUUGE. It reaches pretty much the top of the wardrobe (which is about 220cm tall) and creates a nice flowy, embracing feel as it sort of cradles over the top of the crib. I love it! 

You can select colours of the leaves to match the theme of your room - pastel pinks if it's a girly girl sort of room, or pastel blue like in the picture shown in our store for a boy's room. Or, you could even put make it more "adult" and just go with a pure black or white silhouette for a neutral feel. Great for living or study rooms or at the entrance doorway of your home.

Hope you love this as much as we do and have fun decorating your nursery! View more of our decals for kids at our online store.

Installation at NTU Innovation Centre

So our customer asked us to create an "urban street feel" for their new cafe at NTU's Innovation Centre and we were more than happy to be a part of their project. I love decorating new places and giving them a totally new look with Decorettes!

As a place for people to come and share new ideas (hence the name "Pitchstop"), they wanted some designs that would help tie in with this theme, so here's what we come up with! We hope you like  these as much as we enjoyed designing and putting them up!

Oh, and if you are a student at NTU, do pay them a visit and give them your support! It's a lovely place to just chill and hang out, have a beer... whilst admiring our decals :)

Customer Showcase

Our customer recently shared some pictures of the decals they DIY-ed to decorate the various meeting rooms in their office and I must say, they look FAB! Yes, they put this all up themselves!

To help them with the visualisation, we superimposed the designs they chose from the Decorette Online Store onto some pictures they gave us of their blank walls, then paired them with Custom Quotes that they specified to ensure that these decals would fill up enough wall space (and not end up looking too tiny!). I love the quotes that they've used to inspire, encourage and boost motivation. Very fitting for an office!

Apart from the gorgeous colours they've used to brighten up their spaces, our decals make a whole lot of difference (if I must say so myself). So here you go, a showcase to inspire you to decorate!

"Rectangular" pattern decals by Decorette

"Live Laugh Love" and "Birds on Wire (Large)" decals by Decorette
So we hope this makes your day as much as it made ours! Feel free to drop us a comment on what you think (love it? hate it?), or let us know if you'd like us to help spruce up your spaces with our decals too! We'd love to hear from you!

Decorating with Floral Patterns

Pom Pom Decals from Decorette
Decorating empty spaces using floral patterns can create quite an amazing transformation! As individual floral motifs, these are so versatile, you can place them however you like to suit your space and create your own unique look (unless of course you have no creative sense whatsoever, then there's nothing wrong in just following how we do it!).

If it's been a while since you've redecorated, why not rejuvenate your homes with these floral decals - you'll be surprised at what a difference they make! A fun, yet affordable way of sprucing up any empty space, whether big or small.



Here are some ways you can use our floral decals in your homes:
  • Drape the flowers around a corner to make it look more cosy (and less empty!);
  • Create a "wallpaper pattern" on a large mirror or glass door - it may just save someone from walking into it! 
  • Strategically stick them on shower screens to create that little bit of privacy (with a bit of class);
  • Randomly place them around pillars to make these sometimes obtrusive objects a little more appealing;
  • Stick them on those blank white (and boring!) Ikea tables, chairs, shelves, etc to make it that little bit more special!

    What are your ideas on how to use these? Do share them with us especially if you have already bought these and would like to "show off" how you've managed to decorate with them!
