The interior design corner: Play with letters


For some the holidays are over, for others the high season of celebrations is about to begin. You don't always need to have a special occasion to celebrate and embellish your house or your little personal corner. If you are not extremely talented to make your own drawings or create special patterns, for sure you know to count and to write. For people like you - and me - , playing with letters and numbers can be an opportunity for personalizing your house. You can either paint them, or made various paper cuts or even wooden cuts. If your hand is not sure enough, any hobby shop has various shapes of letters that can be purchased at a very modest price.
Especially if you are a big family, creating personalized corners for every member of the family is not only beautiful, but also helpful. Think about the messy mornings when your little ones cannot find their own things because too sleepy to see where is their closet. Such decorations can be done with the full participation of the children that can paint and chose themselves their own colours and decorations.
Time-wise, such decorations are easy to make and you don't need to wait a specific amount of time till you are ready. One or two hours in the weekends can prove to be inspired moments and you can have a lot of fun while doing it, alone or together with your life partner and/or children. The failure risk is also very low and thus, you will be motivated to continued with more similar works.
Such projects work too for a party or anniversary, but also when you are out of ideas for a special present wrapping. Are you preparing a romantic or family dinner? Add some small letters or numbers marking the anniversary on the candles set to light!
Do you have a small shop and restaurant, and a limited budget, but you want to welcome warmly your customers? Welcome them with a cute funny message made up by colourful letters!
What do you need: 3-4 types of brushes, box of colours, various rubber colours, scissors, glue, colourful papers. All those can be purchased with an investment of around $30.
Good luck!
