All those family holiday ornaments tucked away in the attic are important and nostalgic for the family, but they don't always add that dramatic decorative punch a home needs. If a more elaborate look is in order for this year's holiday events, one way to achieve a "Wow" Christmas backdrop is by using removable vinyl wall decals in Christmas holiday designs.
Holiday Wall Decals at Dezign with a Z
When a host or hostess is throwing a holiday party or large dinner, they may be looking for temporary pizazz for the dining room walls or entry. The Dezign with a Z website has decals that can tastefully fill up a large wall with branches decorated with ornaments, reindeer, snowflakes or even a faux fireplace! No room for a Christmas tree? Put a Christmas tree decal on the wall! Have a fireplace? How about perching Santa on the wall near it as he gets ready for his descent?
Other Stores for Holiday Removable Wall Decals
There are many online stores that carry the Christmas or Holiday themed wall decals, sometimes referring to them as wall appliques or wall graphics. Here are some websites to check out:
- Modern Wall Graphics (modernwallgraphics.com) (Wall slicks)
- RoomMates (Roomatespeelandstick.com)
- Wall Written (wallwritten.com)
- Bosco Bear (boscobear.blogspot.com)

Amazon and eBay even sell the wall decals! As well, the home improvement stores, such as Home Depot and Lowe's sell a large selection of wall decals, and Lowe's carries the RoomMates line of decals offering Winter Holiday 'appliques'.
What do the Holiday wall decals cost?
The decals run from less than $20 to hundreds of dollars, depending on how elaborate the design becomes.
Removable Decals Not Just for Walls!
The removable wall decals can usually be applied to any clean surface and most are not limited to indoor walls. They can be used to decorate doors, windows, furniture, mirrors, or tile. Always be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the safety for the surface for which they are intended.
How can the Holiday Vinyl Wall Decals be Removed?
The Wall Written website's FAQ's gives removal instructions as follows, "Hold the blow dryer approximately eight inches away from the statement, taking care not to overheat your paint. Gently lift a corner of each letter or design with a fingernail and pull down slowly." This website has a huge picture gallery on their website of their decorative wall decals. Some of the decals can re reused, but not all. Be sure to read the packaging thoroughly before purchasing to eliminate surprises!
This year, create a unique decorative stage for the Christmas dinner or holiday celebrations with removable vinyl wall decals. And watch, this unique holiday decorating touch will be one your friends will copy next year!
