These wonderful wall stickers by StickersfromLola are genius – hand-painted in the Cotswolds – mini murals that could be a wonderful storytelling aid, helping stir creative young minds and infuse a little magic into your house!
Many designs come in two sizes to fit even the smallest of skirting boards, and the range, available on Etsy, now come with a matte laminate for a hand painted finish.
The designs are the work of Stroud-based artist Holly English, who works across a variety of mediums.
Quick and easy to apply, these stickers are waterproof and extremely sturdy so you can wipe them clean as often as you need to. If for any reason you need to remove them, then this is no problem either, simply peel them away from the wall- they leave no residue, so your walls will be good as new.
I think they’re great fun – and would certainly spark a few imaginations, young and old.
