Are you trying to think of a way to spice up the look of your home for the holidays, or to show off part of your personality? Static cling window decals are a great way to decorate both the interior and exterior of your home at the same time. Chances are that you already use static cling window decals on a regular basis; If you have a reminder from your dealership or oil change place, it is most likely a static cling window decal in the top left corner of your car windshield. The decals that are used in the home are generally small and holiday or event themed. They are sold individually or in sets.
Static cling window stickers come off of the windows easily and provide you with a lot of different options for decorating your home. They are small, so they can be stored in a small amount of space; one way to keep track of them is to put them in envelopes according to the month that they would most likely be used in, and attach those envelopes to your calendar. If you are interested in more general themes for your static cling window decals, you can create a notebook or filing system for them. By putting clear sheet protectors in a three-ring binder, you can keep your decals filed and all in one place so that you can find them easier. Another benefit of this system is that it will keep the static window cling decals flat.
There are many different styles of static cling decals. You can generally find them in holiday themes, but there are also many available for your favorite college, sports team, or high school. Another benefit of these decorations is that you can have custom decals made. Whatever you imagine, certain companies would be able to make them for you. Custom static cling window decals are rather expensive, though. Victorystore.com sells one-colored decals for twenty dollars for a one-sided custom decal that is five square inches or less. Additional colors increase the price by ten dollars each, and a full-color decal with these specifications is over forty dollars.
There are some things to be aware of before you commit to static cling window decals. Some of these decals are rather low quality, so don’t just buy the cheapest ones you see. Many static decals also have a tendency to fall off the window easily; because they rely on static cling, they may need to be reapplied often in order to remain in place. They are also fun targets for kids and pets, so if you choose to use them, make sure that you keep them out of reach. Another issue to keep in mind is your Home Owner’s Association rules and guidelines. A lot of HOAs have restrictions on the kind of window shades and outdoor decorations that you can use. In order to avoid fines, make sure to read your HOA’s bylaws or talk to the HOA board before you purchase the decals.
That being said, if you are looking for an inexpensive, fun way to dress up your home both inside and out, static cling window decals might be just what you’re looking for.
