New decorative trend:masking tape

We sometimes want to change, to reorganize our apartment or our house and new decoration. But we do not necessarily have the budget or the desire to embark on major work. The solution is masking tape and repositionable wallpaper to customize your walls, but also your objects, your stairs. Anything goes! Pinterest is full of good ideas, each more original than the next, for using this adhesive tape, and it's within everyone's reach.

The repositionable colored tape to customize everything

Masking tape is a kind of colored tape originally used for gift wrapping or creative hobbies that comes straight from Japan. Repositionable, of all sizes, all colors or with patterns, adhesive tape has left its stationery department to settle in the decoration department, in particular in the form of repositionable wallpaper. It has become an inexhaustible source of ideas for the house. You can change patterns according to your desires, and above all you don't damage the support underneath, whether it's paint, wallpaper or wood. We create graphic patterns, or we put several in parallel, we can even make photo frames. And even if you get tired of it or change your mind, you take it off and recreate a completely different setting. Be careful though, too much masking tape kills masking tape!
