Make It Your Own!

Sometimes customizing a UL Exclusive™ Expression gives it just the right touch for your space.


Here is a simple love expression that is beautifully enhanced by adding the personalization element.


What teenage athlete isn’t proud to display their name and number wherever they can? This awesome expression was just made even more awesome in your football player’s eyes!


Here we have the ultra-popular Dandelion Dance expression, combined with a beautiful saying created in the MyDesign Suite. (Keep in mind that this is what this design would look like after you put it on the wall; not what it looks like in MyDesign Suite. Dandelion Dance is a theme pack, so you’ll place the seedlings in whatever pattern you want when you actually apply it).


Now this is just plain fun. You can easily pull this expression into the MyDesign Suite, add a custom expression with your child’s name, match the colors of his room…and voila! So cute!

And then a little something for yourself. This just makes you want to step inside Karen’s craft room, doesn’t it?

The sky is truly the limit with MyDesign Suite. Be as creative as you want to be, and don’t be afraid to try new and even weird or funky things. You might be surprised at what MyDesign Suite can help you create!

First Signs of Spring

See how easily a space can be transformed using one of our new Decorative Prints. In keeping with our theme of spring, the “Branch & birds” Decorative Print (#17585) has been used. There are 3 different color options in this design, so choose the color scheme that works best with your décor. Since Decorative Prints are removable and repositionable, if the branch isn’t quite where you want it, just peel it off and move it around until you are satisfied with its placement.
The focal point for the tabletop uses our chipboards. “Spring” (which ties in nicely with our theme) has six letters—the exact number of chipboards that come in our Chipboard accessory (#300106). So using the MyDesign Suite, "Spring" was created to fit perfectly on the chipboard. The font,Fantini (5” tall) is fun and playful. Complement by using the colors of Robin’s Egg (#9058), Lemon Chiffon (#9022), and Cotton Candy (#9029) in our MyDesign expression. You could simply choose a single color, but if you’re looking to break out of the winter blahs, don’t be afraid to explore with some splashes of coordinating colors. Glue some matching decorative paper to the chipboard and then applied the expressions. To add the finishing touches to this project, add our UL Dress-Ups™ Gems (#300104), all three colors of the Mini Blooms (#300191, #300192, #300193), and some coordinating ribbon.

Transform. That is a word that is often used to describe what Uppercase Living vinyl can do to any home or office. However, it doesn’t have to be limited to a single space.







Vinyl can truly “transform” an entire room!


Complement a welcoming expression with a beautiful scroll embellishment border and a variety of colors of flowing grass. Take the scroll and add it to the hurricane lamp. One embellishment allows for two different placements and ties the theme together.

In this playroom, the Adorable alphabet on pg. 76 was used as a border and complemented it with a Chalk Wall School House, a Contemporary Clock with a My Design Suite Expression, and even a fun charger and easel to tie the entire look together. There are so many items available, the options seem endless!

Vinyl truly is as versatile as any other home décor product. It is incredibly easy to install and then change, and is far more affordable then custom paint or wallpaper in any space. And with Uppercase Living, you can truly customize their space with the incredible variety of colors and sizes not available anywhere else.

It is so rewarding to be able to completely transform a room in just a few hours. What will YOU do with it?

Give Peace a Chance!

Peace signs are back in trend right now. We’re seeing them everywhere, particularly in teen décor. So, now Uppercase Living offers a peace sign embellishment in the Embellishment library (Item #45225_ _ [2"–18"]). We received a ton of requests for this, and recognizing that peace signs are trending big right now, we opted not to wait till the next catalog release, but to send it to the embellishment library immediately.

Add matching vinyl peace signs to the walls, lampshades, closet doors, or other furniture in your room to complete the “peace” look! A splash of Electric Pink, Shoreline Blue, Green Tea, and Chocolate Brown peace signs would match this bedding beautifully.

And these embellishments don’t have to remain in bedroom décor. Teens can put them on their lockers, notebooks, laptops, or cars. Can you imagine? A super-cute peace-sign-themed dorm room! Because it is an embellishment, this design is available in a huge range of sizes (from 2” to 18” wide!), so you're are sure to find something that works for you.

Beautiful Borders

I just love the border concept. You can make a border fit any space because you can just order enough pieces to fit. Below are a few border ideas.

I love how this border adds a hint of elegance to this dining room, giving it just the right finishing touch.

This is already a beautiful bedroom, but adding the border just ties the room together and enhances the rest of the décor.

Who says the Loopy Line needs to be in a bedroom! I think it brings a fun, playful feeling to this simple bathroom.

Grand Ideas for your spaces

Looking for bold designs that really make a statement? Then you'll love our new Grande Format expressions! There is such a demand for these larger-than-life designs, As quoted by Lamar Lisman, CEO of Lisman Studio and interior design expert, "What I love about Grande Format designs is that they make a statement. When we look at American homes today, we have much taller walls and broader spaces, and we need designs to fill them up."

Because of the large scale of these designs, you may think that you need a large space in order to apply Grande Format. Not so, says Lamar. "Use Grande Format anywhere that isn't typical, because these aren't typical designs," Lamar suggests. "And don't worry about framing a space with your Grande Format design. Instead, wrap it around a corner or a wall. Most of all, don't be afraid to bring in some color! Contrast your design with your wall color and keep it very bright and playful."
Looking for ideas? For every design....

* Place your design in an entryway, on a two-story wall, or over a headboard or sofa
* Use Grande Format to fill a huge wall along a staircase
* Place it on a dining room wall, then hang art on top so the expression peeks out
* Wrap it around a corner or wall
* Run several sets of one design horizontally along a surface, or group them together.


They are so fun and are almost like wallpaper. You can repeat the motifs and combine them. In design people tend to err on smaller rather than larger sizes, but with Grande Format, you can't make a mistake! You can modify each design, remove part of it to fit your space, and if you tire of the design, you aren't stuck with it like you would be with wallpaper.

This one would be adorable in a child or teen bedroom. One idea is to run it on a wall behind a child's bunk bed, so that a portion of the design peeks between and above the beds.

Use it as a focal point on any large surface.

This mum feels very restful and relaxing. Place it in a bathroom or even off a bedroom. I could also see a few of these above a headboard or in a sitting room. Place them almost randomly. They need to feel very natural when they are up on the wall. The design is so free that the look needs to be that way, too.

Don't be afraid to cut this one down the middle and apply one half above a doorway or archway.

Apply the designs in this theme pack individually throughout your home. They'd look great above a doorway or on all four sides of a mirror. You might also use them to frame a doorway or other element.


Don't be afraid to try something new or unusual. These bold designs are meant to inspire your and bring your personality to life. Enjoy a chance to think outside the box!
