A popular trend in decorating these days is the use of quote decals for walls. We’ve seen them in nurseries, elegant living-rooms, and decorating the mural walls of coffee shops, restaurants, and other artistically commemorative displays. Why is this such a celebrated trend?

he answer is different for everyone you ask. For some, the idea of shaped decals like trees, forests, animals, or other images, is simply not the vibe they are going for in their house. For others, words are the bones that they feel has shaped theminto the person they are now. Honestly, everyone has some quote or another that has touched them in a way that lingers the rest of their lives. For some, it might be the words of a poet, the lyrics of a beloved song, iconic dialogue from films or fiction.

hen certain quotes mean so much to you, sharing them with the people who enter your home is like a declaration of who you are in some sense. If guests know you well, they will feel more like your home is an extension of you, holding your spirit in its presentation. For those who are new in your life, such quotes can be wonderful icebreakers. Holiday parties, family gatherings, birthday celebrations, anyone who passes through your door has the opportunity to learn just a little more about you and the way you think, live, and make merry.

But this choice in decor does not have to be all frivolous and fun-loving. Motivation can become a sticker above your bathroom mirror. Romance can adhere to your bedroom wall. Get personal with it. A newlywed’s first home can bear wedding vows upon the walls, promises that will be renewed and remembered with every glance.

I once knew a woman whose husband tragically died overseas before he was able to meet their daughter. This woman immortalized a message for his unborn child on her nursery wall, so a piece of her father could watch over her. That is powerful. In a transformative instant, something usually relegated to the pages of “Home and Garden” took on meaning beyond the simple cost of materials. When you choose words wisely, you can influence someone for life. You can honor someone for life.
