Words have great power. They soothe, motivate, delight and grieve. No wonder it says: "A good word is like moisture in the desert; a bad word is like an abandoned stone." Designers have long appreciated the power of this tool and successfully use it in their projects. Individual words, popular expressions, sayings of philosophers, motivating phrases, aphorisms, and jokes are increasingly becoming interior decorations.

In addition to the semantic load of the inscription bear a decorative function. Text on the wall is perceived as a bold, stylish, non-trivial solution. It emphasizes the extraordinary way of thinking of the inhabitants of the house. The diverse style of fonts and materials allows you to choose the decor adequate for any design. Graffiti in the interior is a great tool for zoning a room. With their help, they allocate spaces with different purposes - for reading, tea drinking, work or play. The text of the inscription can be in any language, but more often they use English or Russian interpretations.

Types of labels

Options for registration with letters set. You can create decorative inscriptions with your own hands, or you can buy them ready-made or custom-made. Lettering decor created with paint or permanent marker, or made from a variety of materials, for example, from:

plastic;
plywood;
vinyl;
fabrics;
wire;
polyfoam;
metal.

The letters are applied directly to the wall or use ready-made signs with inscriptions. Different types of such decor are perfectly combined in one interior. A vinyl sticker in the form of a world map made up of country names will support posters with numeric or alphabetic characters. The material is selected, focusing on the style of the interior. For example, American loft often adorn street advertising signs.

Drawn

One of the most popular and inexpensive design techniques - drawing letters using acrylic paint. You can invite an artist who will paint your wall in any type of fonts from as simple as possible to quaintly ornate. The advantage of this option is that you can choose absolutely any text that motivates and optimizes you, decide what size it will be, color and style. The original inscription, made by the master of his craft, is expensive. If you can not use the services of a decorator, it is quite possible to cope on your own with a stencil, paint or marker.

Stencils are purchased in finished form or printed independently on A4 sheets, and then transferred to a denser base. You can do this with copy paper. Another option is to paste over office sheets with scotch tape or laminate them so that they do not get wet from water. Cut a hole with a stationery knife.

Put a solid board or glass under the stencil so as not to spoil the table and other surfaces.

After that, we fix the stencil on the wall with masking or double-sided tape. You can also use glue in the form of a spray. It has a low adhesion rate and is easily removed after work. Foam roller, round brush or sponge apply paint to the free zones. After dipping the tool in the paint, remove the excess with a napkin. Otherwise, stains can not be avoided. Spray paint should be sprayed very carefully. It is better to make several as thin as possible layers, giving each of them a good dry. After that you should cover the image with varnish to protect it from possible ingress of moisture. With such a coating, the inscription will not be afraid of water and detergents.

A simpler way is to make a painting with a marker. Clear contrasting lines are incredibly spectacular, but you need to be very careful not to make mistakes.
Another option is to use ready-made vinyl stickers. They create the complete illusion of painted letters, and you can guess that this is actually a removable element only on closer examination.

You can make the basis of cardboard. The edges are folded down, as in the manufacture of a conventional box, and the image is glued on top. Vinyl stickers with interesting fonts are perfect for this.

The next stage is coloring. The easiest way to cover the future decor is spray paint, but you can use any other option.

From fabric

Circle the letter on the contour, not forgetting to leave seam allowances. It should turn out two identical parts. Next, cut out the tape from a contrast or the same fabric. Its width should be equal to the desired thickness of the finished product. The length of the side piece is equal to the perimeter of the figure, taking into account the seam allowance. Fold the ribbon and the front part of the front of the inside and sew. The junction of the ends of the "side" is left open. The hole will be needed in order to turn out the finished product and fill the letter with padding polyester. Similarly attach the second workpiece. Sticking corners better cut. This will make turning it easier. After the product is filled with filler, sew the hole with a secret stitch. Then you need to steam the seams slightly and the letter is ready. Leave it in its original form or decorate it with a thematic decor - butterflies, pigtails, chains, flowers.

Wallpapers with inscriptions and letters

If you do not want to highlight any zone in the room with the inscription, you can use wallpaper with randomly scattered letters, numbers and inscriptions. This finish is especially good on the accent wall. The remaining surfaces should be left neutral, so as not to create the impression of disorder and congestion of the composition. To maintain an accent finish, make posters from the same wallpaper and hang them on an adjacent or opposite wall.

A print in the form of inscriptions can be both tough, brutal, and gentle, romantic. Character depends on the selected background and font.

Or paint the surface with special black paint, and let the guys write with crayons on an improvised board. The advantage of this solution is that such inscriptions can be changed every day.
