Customize Your Own Wall Décor From Start To Finish

September 5, 2009 Experts in retailing tell us we can create fresh excitement in our stores by repainting, recreating vignettes, moving furniture around and adding new accessories.  The same goes for consumers who can't stand the look of their homes, but choose not to spend money on furniture and accessories at this time.  Repainting or adding wall paper is one of the quickest and least expensive ways to freshen a home.

The idea though of spending endless hours searching through stock wallpaper patterns  is being changed by an innovative online retailer in the residential wallpaper industry, Shop4Wallpaper.com.  The Cleveland, Ohio company "has launched a unique online design tool which allows users to create customizable and personalized designs, patterns, artwork or photography, printed on a variety of materials for use as wallpaper, murals, and "peel and stick" home accents."

Here's a sample of one wallpaper I picked out.  Bold patterns in wall paper are in now and this could be perfect in our home. Using the software, I can select the room or the pattern that interests me.  Here, I chose Mariposa from the Modern Living section.  Next,  I select the size of the room or wall.  Then I can select the colors from pallets of brights, neutrals, pastels, earthtones or warm hues.  With a click I can change the colors of the print.  Shop4Wallpaper allows me to create and order my wallpaper all in one place.



Global leader in materials, office products and information management, Avery Dennison worked closely with the Shop4Wallpaper team in the development and roll-out of this program.

It's not for everybody, but if you have the time, creativity and inclination, give it a try.
