Do not give up decorating your walls because of the gotelé, learn how to place a decorative vinyl on a gotelé wall to give a different air to any room in your house. If you also make the decorative vinyl yourself, much better! You will see how it is not so difficult.
The great advantage of decorate the walls with vinyl is that once you get tired of it you just have to peel it off (in this link you have a trick to remove the remains of adhesive from the wall). It is also very economical if you do the design yourself (you can see how to make a DIY decorative vinyl at this link), you can even take advantage of the remains of vinyl that you have left over from covering a piece of furniture.
Here are some ideas for you to check that it is not necessary to make complicated shapes to obtain a surprising result. For example, placing triangles of different colors can totally change a wall (via Ohidesignblog.com).
