Gone are the days when redecorating the room meant opting for either the paint or the wallpapers for your walls. Today you have endless stuff to chose from that can give you any look you desire. And the best part is that sometimes they can be availed at very cheap prices, or even for free! All you need to do is select your wall coverings well, so as to get the theme that you require.

If your kids are fond of chalkboards, instead of purchasing one, you can creatively design a section of the room wall as a chalkboard. All you would need to do is paint the area with chalkboard paint and your chalkboard is ready! You might like to hoist a small wooden mould too, so that they could be used as chalk trays.

Another option is the corkboard tile. You can put them up on kids room walls as suitable wall coverings so that they can pin up pictures, notes, posters etc there. It fun, and the wall keeping getting redecorated with new pin ups everyday! This way would be spared of the trouble of worrying about holes on walls too.

For free wall coverings you can try out CDs as well. You could glue them to the walls with the printed side facing back, so that you get a mirrored effect on the shining CD surface. However, in case you are not too comfortable with the idea of having stuff glued to your walls, you can even try hanging them on a set of thumbtacks. They look good, and the best part is that they can even serve as convenient CD storage options, making looking for CDs extremely convenient.

You can also consider replacing the CDs with vinyl records. They look chic and add a different look to your home. If you do not have a large collection of vinyl records to decorate the walls, you can get some from flea markets or garage sales. Here too you can consider using thumbtacks instead of gluing them. Besides who knows, it may not be long before they might become worth lots of money too, and you might want to sell them off!

Vinyl and fabric placemats are great options too. Create different designs, in a patchwork style for an exciting look. Beach mats made of grass look great too. If you are particularly good with art and craft work, and are really in the mood to dress up your walls, then try using beads. You can use them for spelling out words on the walls, or to make wall borders, or for beaded wall pictures too! Colorful beads in all textures and colors can give you some great creative wall covering.

So just let your imagination run free, and think up of some design ideas that truly reflects your personality and style! Create the most unique looking wall designs and see how proud they make you when you start winning appreciation from all around!
