Hang Large Decorative Letters on the Wall

One of the simplest approaches for using decorative letters is also one of my favorites! Simply use a statement-making letter alone on a wall such as this large galvanized letter “W”:

For a baby's room, I absolutely LOVE {these large wooden letters} that you can have personalized with your child's name and date of birth:

And you don't need to limit yourself to using a single letter. Putting several letters together to spell a simple word like “EAT” is such a fun addition to this kitchen: are fun to use in the kitchen:

In a nursery or kid's room they look darling spelling out a name on the wall over a crib or dresser:

While most decorative letters are wood or zinc, there are some beautifully unique options out there too! A strong choice is Pottery Barn's Fresh Moss Letters found {here} – they are made with real moss wrapped around a wood laminate base and come with an ivory ribbon for hanging. They are big guys at 18″-20″ tall:

Place Decorative Letters on Shelving

I also love the use of one of these same statement-making galvanized letters as decor on a shelf:

In a baby's room, {these neutral fabric letters} are well suited to shelving because not only are they adorable, but you don't have any worries about injuries from decor falling off of shelving:
