Hello everyone,
I would like to put a nice quote on my kitchen wall using wall decals. Does anyone else have wall decals like this? And do you know if it’s possible to design them yourself?
Looking forward to your answers.
Best regards!

You can design wall decals yourself, at least when it comes to letters and composite designs/ornaments. Of course, you are limited to the extensive selection offered by various suppliers – but there are many many motifs, sayings, and characters available...

Just search for "wall decals" in a search engine and spend an afternoon browsing.

Just as an extra tip: the kitchen should not be too colorful, use decorations and patterns sparingly. It is best to have light (white) furniture so that the tattoos stand out well.

Hello everyone,
adjusting the kitchen furniture to match the tattoos would probably be the wrong approach. Considering only the costs: a kitchen that costs a few thousand CHF compared to tattoos that may cost a total of only 50.- to 100.-, it makes more sense to keep the color scheme subdued with the tattoos. This is also recommended so that the expensive kitchen furniture stands out better.

Hey,

there are some really nice ones!
You’ll definitely save money if you make them yourself! But in any hardware store, you can also find ready-made ones, though those are pretty mainstream and come with typical sayings... kind of like “carpe diem” style.

- If God had wanted us to cook, why would He have invented restaurants? (a friend of mine has this one in her kitchen)
- If there’s no chocolate in heaven, I don’t want to go there either!
- This kitchen is self-cleaning, which means everyone cleans it themselves if they mess it up.

Hello,

There are already some DIY options available; it’s best to check at a hardware store or home improvement center, as they usually have such items. I made a grass wall decal here myself, and it looks really good.
