Family Tree Ideas Using Wall Stickers

Like our families, trees change through the seasons of life. The barren branches of winter give way to plump spring buds, which open into the full leaves of summer. Then autumn arrives and trees give one last splendid show of color before retreating into the dormancy of winter, as the circle of life is repeated.

Trees are a great visual metaphor for our families. We all come from somewhere, related to others from our own family tree. Below are three options from Wall Decor Plus More to help you bring the beauty of the family tree into your home.

The popular wall sticker called Family Branches is our first option. It features a beautiful quote and works well on its own; or display it with a family photo or a collection of photos.

For a different option, you can create an actual tree in your room with wall stickers. This tree wall sticker has an empty spot in the center that's perfect for a 16x20 wedding or family photo – or for a clock, to bring in the element of time. The branches come separate from the tree trunk so you can place them around the photo or clock.

Be sure to have plenty of space for this tree wall decal, it's 76 inches tall by 58 inches wide!

A third choice from Wall Decor Plus More is a smaller family tree wall sticker that has more branches, which also come separate from the tree trunk so you can lay them out as needed. For this one, picture frames can be placed at the outside edges of the branches. It's such an eye-catching way to display family photos. And so affordable–this wall sticker costs just $20.06! The size is about 36 inches tall by 24 inches wide, depending on how you arrange the branches and the trunk. Be sure to leave space for the photos!

I know your family will enjoy actually seeing how family members are related. Have fun with this personalized wall decor idea!

Best Paint Finishes and Wall Surfaces for Wall Stickers

So your plan for redecorating includes wall stickers? That's great!

We're here to help you make that plan successful with some technical tips about the best paint finishes and wall surfaces for use with our vinyl wall stickers.

1 - PAINT FINISHES - Satin or glossy paint provides a good finish for applying wall stickers. Enamel is even better because it is the least porous. Flat finish is too porous to allow wall stickers to adhere well and zero VOC paint doesn't work well either. Check out our post on painting tips for more information - Tips & Tricks to Paint Like a Pro

2 - TEXTURE VS SHINE - In our experience, a shiny paint (satin, gloss, enamel) is better, even on a wall with some texture, than a dull (flat) paint on a wall that is smooth/without texture. Our special post about working with texture can be found Tips for Applying Wall Stickers to Textured Walls.

3 - DRYING VS CURING - Your paint may be dry to the touch but that doesn't mean it has cured (hardened all the way through). This is a crucial difference. Curing can take several days or longer, depending on your paint and on the dampness or coolness of the weather, but usually plan on at least 2 weeks. Check your paint can label for specific curing times or contact us at Wall Decor Plus More and we'll try to help you. The stronger the odor your new paint gives off, the longer you should let it cure before applying wall stickers. The smell likely comes from the compounds and gases in the paint which can break down the adhesive on the wall stickers, making them not stick or fall off a short time after application.

4 - MOISTURE & WALL STICKERS - Hold on, this doesn't mean wall stickers won't work in your bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room. They will! It's ongoing moisture behind your sheetrock that can cause problems for your wall stickers. We're talking about walls that back up to cooling systems, water pipes, overhead windows or windows that have been boarded up–areas that are prone to condensation, which may not be obvious when you apply your wall stickers. Check out our post with special tips on applying vinyl wall stickers to moisture-prone areas, Can I Use Vinyl Wall Stickers in My Bathroom?
