Posted by Kaitlin in Art and Design, Interior Design, Objects, Wall Decals on April 29th, 2010
Coming out of the frigid cold winter for what seemed to last for eternity, springtime often brings not only plenty of sunshine, but also ’spring cleaning’ accompanied by an interior re-fresh. Have you been looking around your house, office, apartment, or maybe even something as simple as your coffee table and thinking, ‘you know this could really use something more’? Well the answer is much closer than you may expect.
Surface Graphics has the perfect wall decals to boost your mood and your space into a trendy and illuminating area. All the decals from the Garden line will bring the spring and summer atmosphere from the outside… in. And, the best part is, once next fall comes around you can simply remove the decal and replace it with one that fits the contrasting environment.

Spring and summer are my favorite time of the year, the longer and much warmer days genuinely revive my mood. I chose to put the Loopy Flower in my bedroom, bringing a cool artsy garden into my room, and giving me the motivation I need to I wake up in the morning! Plus the green color matches perfectly.

Posted by Kaitlin in Interior Design, Kids Wall Decals, Wall Decals on March 2nd, 2010

At Surface Graphics we offer a great deal of exceptionally detailed and unique wall decals. Whether you are looking to provide warmth to a child’s room or adding a modern twist to your office space, we have a range of wall decals to match any taste. Our ultra thin vinyl gives our decals the painted on look that is trendy, affordable, and can be instantly removable.
The application is as easy as 1, 2, 3! First you must lay your wall decal down on a hard flat surface. Using the provided squeege, scrap across the decal to ensure that the decal is firmly pressed against the transfer sheet.
Second, carefully peel back the clear transfer sheet with the decal adhered to it, and the sticky side facing outward.
Third, place the decal in the desired place and position. Smooth over using the squeege, ensuring the removal of any air bubbles. Slowly peel away the transfer sheet parallel to the surface, leaving the decal on the desired surface.

Decal Design Trend: Dots
Posted by Brian in Wall Decals on August 10th, 2009
Currently on display at the Gagosian Gallery is a collection of prominent contemporary artists work all with a central focus of dots. Dots have become a growing trend in the design world.The exhibit, Ecstatic Abstraction, features works by art icons Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, and Yayoi Kusama. Damien Hirst has been experimenting with colored dots in his works since the early 1990s. His symmetrically arranged dots add an instant pop of color and fun to a space. His works adorn the walls of the worlds most discerning contemporary art collectors.
Japanese artist and trendsetter Yayoi Kusama translated her obsession with polka-dots into her paintings, installations and sculptures. Kusama expresses her visions of nets, dots and flowers by covering everything she sees including sculptures, walls, and even a handbag collection for Marc Jacobs. The use of bold colors, repetition, patterns and accumulation have become her trademark, instantly delivering you into pop art heaven.
Wall Decal Decision Time
Posted by admin in Wall Decals on July 1st, 2009
Are you looking for a wall decal but not sure how to choose the perfect design? It can be difficult to choose a wall decal today as the choices are plenty and we only have so many surfaces to cover. I recommend that you consider four items if you are struggling to make a decision:
1) Area
2) Utility
3) Design
4) Color
What area are you planning to fill?
Is the space square, tall and rectangular or long and wide? Are you looking for a wall decal to sit above furniture, like a couch or table, or will your decal fill an entire wall? This will help you choose the size or configuration of the decal. For example, if you plan to fill an entire wall, perhaps you will choose a decal that comes in many pieces, like the Pebbles, or My Way (pictured right) designs that can be applied in an infinite number of designs. If you have a smaller space to dress, above your couch for instance, you may choose a more simple design like the New York City Skyline or The Roses. A tall narrow space may call for a larger wall decal like The Gentleman or Electric Wire. The idea here is to first plan out the space you want to fill and the amount of coverage you are looking for.
