Open Up Small Spaces with Stick-On Decor
Cramped quarters? Awkward corner? Make the most of unfortunate spaces with a clustered arrangement of stick-on floral decorations.

Waverly Simplicity Appliqués
Introduce the look of wallpaper without the hassle of papering your walls. These botanical designs (shown) are self-adhesive and reusable. In other words, they’re easy to use. Simply peel the backing off and press onto a wall. (To remove or reposition, just peel back from the corners.) They come in a range of colors, from subtle browns and greens to vibrant oranges and pinks. Each sheet comes with four individual panels in two coordinating patterns.
Sticker Price: $30 for four. Patterns include butterflies, plants, and flowers.
To Buy: 800-423-5881 for store locations.

Artecnica Puddles
Buffed to a mirror finish, these stainless-steel decals, which come in whimsical shapes, are guaranteed to add a bright spot to drab walls. Their reflective shine transforms to a matte satin finish over time. The thin self-adhesive decals are sold individually and range in size from 8 to 12 inches. Intended for onetime use, these decals can be removed by gently pulling them from the wall at an angle (use a putty knife, if necessary).
Sticker Price: $15 to $26 each. Shapes include daisies, dragonflies, irises, and butterflies.
To Buy: The Conran Shop, 866-755-9079.
