COOL WALL STICKERS

Custom chalkboards for your walls!

Wall decal chalkboards are really easy for us to make!

The hard part we have done- we have sourced the best vinyl to use as a chalkboard vinyl- the easy part is cutting the shapes.

Due to the very thick nature of the chalkboard vinyl, there is not really a good option for cutting intricate designs- plus you need to have enough landscape to write on so essentially you are just looking for a quirky or unique outer cut line.

We have put some popular chalkboard wall decal shapes on our website for you to purchase.  However you may have your own idea.  Maybe the capital letter of your child's name could be a chalkboard.  Maybe the emblem for your company?  Perhaps the outside shape of your school hield?

You can order any custom shape that we approve. So head over to our custom chalkboard wall decal section and start planning your chalkboard today!

Door Skins Proving Popular for Customising Office and Home

Our exclusive door art skins are the first of their kind in Australia.  Woohoo!  Designed and manufactured here in Sydney using the latest high tech woven vinyl that can be repositioned and removed from the door surface with no problems.

It is always hard to picture something BRAND NEW when you are being told about it- so we have put together a series of before and after images to demonstrate what it is like when you place one of the brand new Cool Art Design wall skins on your doors.

 

For offices, door skins are great for decorating waiting areas, doors to store rooms or server rooms.  You could pick from some of our OHS door skins to send a safety message through the office.  or something more quirky like our VAULT DOOR SKIN.

For any office, it is nice to bring a bit of nature into the indoors.  Using water views, forest views, beach views etc, it makes for a calming artwork (as well as covering those horrible old wooden doors if you have them).  A quick way to modernise your space.

Making a messy, ugly area look good can be hard.  If you can't afford a top to bottom renovation then a great idea is to just reskin some parts.  Start with the door and you not only get a cool artwork, you cover an ugly part of the space.

These old doors can be revamped with photographic door skins.  The only problem is the horrible gold door handles.  For a few extra bucks think about changing the handles and you will have a modern and contemporary feel in no time.

Some spaces already look fabulous!  Then our door skins become a way to act as a bit of extra space for customising your area with word art, photos or patterned graphics.

 

This is a great example of an old and ugly kitchen.  Just add a little punch to the room and it might make it more bearable while you cook there.  Cover the pantry door or exit door with a door skin that matches your style.

Our launch range of this exclusive product has 30 different designs.  That is a great start to getting you some customised door spaces, and we have another 30 designs hot to follow!

Back to school decorating with wall stickers and vinyl chalkboards

Two weeks of winter holiday and now back to school for Aussie school kids!  Western Australia went back this week so now the school terms will be starting to ramp up into full swing.

A great way to decorate schools and classrooms is with wall graphics.  You could design some wall quotes or wall lettering for the classroom, or try some of our new chalkboard vinyl designs.  Applied as wall stickers these designs are great for semi permanent decorating.

Chalkboard vinyl is a special vinyl that is textured and designed to work as a chalkboard. Chalkboard wall stickers are for use with dust chalk sticks, not with the liquid chalk pens which are difficult to remove.

New this week to celebrate back to school are the following brand new chalkboard designs.

iPOD Chalkboard:

Sneaker Chalkboard:

Australia Map Chalkboard:

Also new this past month are some fantastic map designs.  Hours of work has gone into designing our world map word art designs.  Painstakingly lining up the actual geographic map with the letters that make up each word.  The effort was worth it as we love this design.

Our map range can also be purchased as canvas stretched artworks.  Visit our canvas website to see the World map canvas artworks...

One size does not fit all for expo trade show stand decorating!

For those of us who install and decorate expo trade stands on a regular basis- you know that one size does not fit all!  And you can tell when someone has bought an "expo pack" of wall stickers because it doesn't look customised.

Why buy a standard pull up banner?  Or a boring vinyl sign that everybody has?  Think creatively and now with all the graphic options available, and many are cost effective, you can create some awesome trade stands for your next exhibition.  The first step is to plan!

By using customised vinyl lettering you can add key word accents to your trade stand.  Check out this trade stand.  Some simple wallpaper on cupboards, a bit of creative design and some vinyl and WOW- this looks eye catching and will pull those crowds in!

Adding a human touch with the vinyl characters reaching up for the cookies jar- again simply done with removable vinyl which is cost effective and available in many colours.  Much of this trade stand can be prepared prior to the show, and is really cost effective.  Less than $10 a vinyl lettering word.

Another trade expo decorating idea is to install removable wallpaper which you replace on the backing paper after the show and then install at your office.

Something customised for your business like cool wording designed into a wall wrap.  Can be any size to match your booth.

First set a budget, then think of creative ways to decorate your expo space and lastly, look around for suppliers who can give you some ideas and creative cost effective solutions.

 

Promotional Wall Graphics- removable, affordable event decorating

Running a special promotion? Need a subtle hook?

Using wall graphics to compliment your promotions to either customers or staff is a great way to infuse the promotion on the walls.

You are running a competition or promotion, you have the emails ready, you’ve got some flyers, but you just need a unique way to expand the reach of the competition to staff. Why not go on the walls or doors?

CASE STUDY 1

For a few weeks, a Sydney firm was running an internal office promotion and they needed quick effective ideas to decorate the spaces near the office elevators. Cool Art Design were contacted about the possibility of putting temporary wall quotes in the lift area so that staff could read them while waiting for the lifts.

With a quick turn around required, we put together some fresh designs using custom wording provided by the client. We used a vinyl that is temporary enabling the wording to be removed at the end of the internal promotion. The wall quotes were installed onsite within 24hours from sign off of the request.

Jenny Liu, Change Manager at the client site said, ”We had this idea to create some buzz around the office by putting wall wording near the elevators. By the time Cool Art Design had even left the building we already had staff emailing around hinting at what the words meant.”

“With this project we came up with the idea for the wall quotes quite late in the planning. It was great to work with a company who understood deadlines, and who also had the technical knowledge to advise the best material for the temporary installation as well as pull together our quotes into some impactful designs.”

 

CASE STUDY 2

A three day exhibition can be quite challenging for the best of us. The promotional graphics you use need to be easy to install, easy to remove and preferably re-usable. At the recent CEBIT exhibition in Sydney, we created an awesome wall graphic for an overseas business who required the graphic to delivered the day before the exhibition. They chose to self install, so Cool Art Design picked a removable vinyl with a woven appearance for their design.

This self adhesive vinyl is easy to install with no prior experience required. If the backing paper is retained, the graphic can be repositioned on the backing paper after the exhibition and reused at other locations. Sticking to a branded guideline, Cool Art Design printed the large 130cm x 180cm wide graphic and hand delivered the product to the hotel where the company was staying.

If you have an event, a one off promotion, or need temporary branding contact us to discuss options.

Projects can be as simple as using key brand messages and designing them onto the walls with vinyl lettering.  See below example.

Or perhaps your office is more visual and using a combination of vinyl lettering and wall graphics will be more effective.  The solution is the same, use a creative idea to decorate the space.
