August 2018 Customer Photo Winner

Vicki contacted us because she wasn't sure which size of the The Travel Series Postmark Wall Quotes™ Wall Art Decal to get for her space. She sent in a photo and her office was gorgeous even before the decals were up (I just adore that navy and silver chair!). We sent her a mockup with different size options for her space and she went with the 30" x 34.5" size in Pewter.

The best part about this design is you can cut apart the decals and place them however you want on your wall which is exactly what Vicki did. We love the whimsical touch it brings to her space and I hope it inspires her to travel often.

Jessica sent us her photo once she had this gorgeous decal in her office! We just love this Your Trademark Wall Quotes™ Decal that was originally a custom request. Jessica's is 22" tall x 37" wide and in Black. It is the perfect size for her space and is a great motivating phrase to look at everyday.

Give your Office a Little Pick-Me-Up!

Wall Quotes™ Decals are a great way to bring some inspiration to the office, whether it is one of our many inspirational or office decals, or a custom quote that is popular around the office.

Karen worked with our Design Team to create some custom decals around the office and they turned out amazing! We just had to share.

This is a quote that is often used around the office and we worked with Karen to get it just right for the lobby.

To the left, you can see a custom Churchill quote and in front one of our popular quotes: Do What You Cannot Wall Quotes™ Decal. This one is in Lemon and Black and is 14 inches by 32 inches.

Act as though it is impossible to fail is perfect above these office doors. I think you will see this quote in our store soon!

This is another of our most popular quotes, but we switched out the font and the arrangement for Karen to better fit the large wall she has in this conference room.

What quotes do you have around your office? We would love to see them! 

Cheers!

Your Logo Should Stand Out

As a business owner you put a lot of time effort and thought into your company logo.

The colors, shape, text, and graphics all play a role in identifying your company and what they do.

So let's help show your logo off! 

All of these customers contacted us for their custom vinyl needs and these are always such rewarding projects to work on! 

All of these projects were done in our Printed Vinyl, either indoor material, or in the case of the truck door, in outdoor rated material. We only use the highest quality inks and can print any CMYK color.

The gradient in the Bluewater logo is beautiful and turned out amazing when printed.

The Sanders logo is a blast (ha - see what I did there?) and looks great printed on glossy outdoor material.

My Pink Lawyer needed 2 versions - one for a dark wall.

And one for a light wall. They both turned out wonderfully and look great.

This physical therapy logo combined with some standard vinyl quotes makes a great reception desk.

To get started with your logo quote, just send your logo file (a vector file is preferred, but jpeg or pdf are acceptable for initial quotes) to our design team at info@wallquotes.com.

We will get back to you with more information and a price quote normally in
less than 24 hours!

Cheers!

Is anyone else in love with this pink couch, or more importantly, that beautiful quote above it!? Kristen created this decal in our Design Center and we loved it so much, we now have it available on our website - You can get the same decal as Kristen here.

Kristen got the 22" tall size and it looks great in White on her dark wall (and that couch - omgoodness!). 

Want to win a $50 gift card of your own? Just send us those photos to info@wallquotes.com. Or, tag us @wallquotes on Instagram or @belvederedesigns on Facebook.

Your Mission Statement Should Make an Impact

Company Mission Statements are meant to be seen! Why not add yours front and center. Not only does it look amazing, but it reminds employees while showing customers exactly what your company stands for.

We worked on this custom mission statement for Marquette University and it makes the perfect impact. This decal was done in Buttercream and Ice Blue and really pops against their Navy wall. 

While working on the Mission Statement, they also wanted some other quotes to go around the office. We just love the ones they have chosen. 

These quotes are also done in Buttercream.

Does this inspire you to start on a custom design project of your own? You can start in our Design Center, or contact our Design Team to work on a custom quote for you by emailing info@wallquotes.com.

We can't wait to see your ideas!

Cheers!

Create your Company Logo with Vinyl

In addition to all the great quotes we have, including our office and inspirational sections, we also can create your company logo in vinyl to add that professional touch and wow factor to your office space! 

Just check out the AICUO project we did - what a lasting impact! 

All we need to get started is your logo and to know about what size you are thinking! Our design team can then send you an estimate and more information specific to your project.

And just check out this table! Our Etched material is perfect for glass and makes it look just like it says - like the glass has been etched. We created this in a mirror image so the vinyl was attached to the bottom. This leaves the top smooth and easy to clean!

Inspired to do a little decorating around your office? Our Design Team is ready to work on your custom logo project! Email info@wallquotes.com to get an estimate. 

Cheers!

Why Do Quotes Inspire or Motivate Us?

Make The Days Count Wall Quotes™ Decal

 The Meaning Behind the Meaning

Famous quotations come from all sorts of places, people, and circumstances and cover all kinds of topics and issues. We use them to pick ourselves, to motivate ourselves and others, to express our deepest feelings and best ideas, and to prove a point. Familiar quotes often become mantras we follow for the rest of our lives. They can be powerful and inspiring, moving and motivating. But what is it about them that makes them so reflective of us and our values?

Homonymic Phrases

Homonyms are words with similar pronunciation, but very different meanings (think stalk or left, for example).  A homonymic phrase then is a saying that relies on the double-meaning of an idea or word that then elicits a strong response (often like the punch line of a joke). For example, one of our Office Wall Quotes designs uses this text: “The only place where success comes before work is in a dictionary.” This phrase inspires because it is accurate on multiple levels; success certainly does come before work, “s” definitely occurs before “w” in the dictionary, and no one can be truly successful at anything if they don’t put in the work first. Because these kinds of quotes are a play on words, they stick with us.  And because they also ring true to our known values and ideas, we feel we can apply it to ourselves, creating self-efficacy, or our belief in our own ability to succeed. This also contributes to the quote’s “staying power” and why we continue to remember it.

The Coaching Factor

Sometimes phrases are structured as instructions with a heavy use of verbs. This is especially the case for many of our Sports Wall Quotes designs. When a trainer coaches a team or an individual, he issues commands over and over to push them and to remind them of their goals and the victory that awaits them if they’ll work hard for it. Quotes like “Work. Sweat. Achieve.” and “Don’t limit your challenges, challenge your limits” work because they mimic the coaching experience with strong, imperative verbs.

 

Primal Instinct Resonation

We humans are aspirational creatures. We want to be the best at what we do and we choose role models and leaders among those who are the best at what they do. Quotes that come from great political leaders and sports figures hold a lot of weight because of their experience.  Their accomplishments and experience have earned them the right to offer advice. Additionally, phrases and sayings attributed to someone with a recognizable name resonates more with us than those that don’t. One of our Sports Wall Quotes designs, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” is pretty inspiring on its own, but it’s even more powerful because it is Wayne Gretzky, an NHL hall of famer, who said it.

Whether it be in a corporate boardroom, kids’ bedroom wall, kitchen, or living room, quotes can motivate and change how we think and how we see the world around us. Vinyl wall decals are one of the very best ways to display those quotes that mean the most to you and your family. They’re affordable, easy to install, and offer a big impact in any room. Choose from our well-curated collections, or design your very own quote at wallquotes.com.

Hot Off The Press 9-26-2014

by Raelene

We seem to be rolling out new designs every few weeks, but don't always get the chance to showcase them, so we're starting a new series: Hot Off The Press.  We want to show off the newest designs we've got in the shop and we know you'll love 'em.

Today, because we posted about using arrows in home decor earlier this week, I thought I'd round up some of our newest designs featuring arrows.  Some are whimsical, some modern, some rustic - but all really really cool.

Everyone Is Important WallQuotes™ Decal
'Cause really - who doesn't love Dr. Who?

I Am The Optimist WallQuotes™ Decal
Such a great affirmation - and perfect in the home office or a crafting space like this one.  It's got just the right statement with just the right kind of funky and whimsical design elements.

Get Stuff Done WallQuotes™ Decal

It's like "get 'r done," but prettified (grin).  I've got this one in my office 'cause some days I just need a little extra umph, and this pretty little decal does it for me every time.

Go Your Own Way WallQuotes™ Decal
Wouldn't this be so great in a little boy's room?  It'd be perfect on the wall next to a reading tent/fort like this one, or this one.

Hearts & Arrows Wall Art Decal
How's this for simple and sweet, eh?  I'd love it over a console table or a toddler girl's bed.  In White or Blush, and paired with sweet feminine and flowery accents like the ones all over in this bedroom, it'd be the perfect finishing touch).

There are more arrows designs on the site too.  Come check us out - you'll find something perfect to spice up whatever space needs a little love in your home.

Mood Board {A Fun and Functional Office for Her}

Today's mood board takes the home office to a whole new level. I'm talking fun with bursts of color, yet functional and simple without a lot to distract you when you are trying to be productive. Let's take a look at the pieces that make this home office the gorgeous space that it is.

1. This warm and bright abstract art piece was, along with the rug, one of the starting points for pulling this room together.

2. This Wall Quotes™ decal is the perfect reminder to take a break and "do something creative every day."

3. Cute AND functional? I'll take it! This set of desk accessories looks more like art than organizational tools.

4. This geometric watercolor print is bright, modern, and fits our color scheme perfectly. Sold!

5. Combining form and function, this office chair from Ballard Designs is also pretty to look at! It comes in lots of fabric options, too, to match any décor style.

6. With a sophisticated yet rustic feel, this filing cabinet is the perfect way to add some warmth to this space.

7. This sleek and contemporary desk is both stylish and affordable!

8. Who doesn't love the trellis trend? We certainly do, especially when it's combined with a great color palette like in this durable wool rug!

9. There's nothing like a great light fixture to make my heart go pitter-patter. This rustic yet modern chandelier is perfectly aged, and beautifully crafted.

10. This distressed gold lamp adds some glam and sophistication to this office space...what's not to love?

Go On, Reward Yourself.

Apparently, Diane's been oggling this inspirational wall quote design for quite some time. But good things come to those who wait, right?
And, in honor of paying off the last of her graduate student loans (wahooo!) she rewarded a job well done. She decided on Silver - which, I'm sure you'll agree is the perfect compliment against those rich navy walls.You can read more about her experience on her blog here (she was so excited she couldn't help but share - gotta love that, eh?).

My favorite line of the whole piece: "Essentially it was like applying a giant rub on tattoo but cooler and more permanent." Awe-Some.

An "Inspirational" Makeover

An elementary school contacted us a few months ago to help with their teacher's lounge renovation. They decided on three inspirational wall quotes and sent us photos after the big reveal.

BEFORE

AFTER

Inspirational Vinyl Wall Words Quote #4

Inspirational Vinyl Wall Words Quote #2

The wall quotes were the perfect finishing touches for this updated, relaxing space. They sent photos to "show off" and included this sweet note:

"Hello Raelene! Well, today was the day...the big "reveal"... The quotes were a HUGE hit!!!

The teachers could not stop talking about them! We put your website on our thank you card on the wall...I will encourage all to use your wonderful company!

Attached are a couple before shots (just so you get an idea!) and what it looks like now. Thank you again for your company's generosity and your wonderful service."

Is there a space in your office or school or community center that could use a little inspiration? Check out our gallery of wall quote designs and see if we can't help you "pick up the pace" a little bit.
