20 Wall Decals That Can Totally Change Any Room on the Cheap

Everyone has home decor envy every once in a while, and with Instagram, it's possible to get more home inspiration than ever. Sometimes, it causes more envy, but it also can expose the rest of us to tips and tricks to spruce up our own spaces. After almost a year of stay-at-home orders, it's a worthwhile investment. But not all of us have the cash to shell out thousands on redecorating a room, painting, or renovating to get that desired look.

Well, we have a secret: It's not necessary. Wall decals are not only in style but the most affordable and chic way to transform a room. Whether it's for the nursery, a faux brick on an accent wall, tile sticky paper in a kitchen, or shapes and colors that can make a wall pop or a workspace feel cozy, there are so many different decals out there and we rounded up some of our favorites. None are over $100, either. Get to designing! All it takes is peeling and some sticking.
