Wall graphics

Wall graphics can provide information and establish an atmosphere in retail spaces, office areas, cafes, and exhibitions as well as in dorm rooms and apartments. You can make your own wall graphics with everyday materials such as contact paper and office labels, or you can work with a commercial sign company to create adhesive vinyl graphics from a digital illustration file. Whether used as decoration or to convey a specific message, large-scale graphics transform a flat wall into a billboard or a work of art.

Contact Paper Self-adhesive paper is an easy-to-use, inexpensive material that is available in many colors and patterns. Contact paper can wrap around corners, and it can be applied to floors (temporarily) or windows, as well as to painted walls. Teacher-supply companies may have more colors available than your local hardware store.

Cut Vinyl Many commercial signs are created with cut vinyl, a self-adhesive material that is cut to follow the vectors of a graphics file. Signage companies can work directly from your files. They can also provide printed vinyl, cling-on graphics, and banners for indoor or outdoor use as well as cut vinyl signs.

Office Labels For an inexpensive approach to producing wall graphics, use office labels to create imagery or text. (Note that office labels are difficult to remove from glass, but are usually easy to remove from latex-painted walls. Test your surface to be sure.)
