Wall Stickers & Decals

Wall Decor

The walls of a room showcase the design and style of its interior just as much as the furniture does. Traditionally this has meant painting the walls or using stylish wallpaper. Now, however, the popularity of wall decor is developing rapidly because of easy application, great aesthetic, and affordability.

Unlike permanent wall decoration, wall stickers are far more cost-effective when time, labour, and possible mistakes are also taken into account. In addition, applying the decor is a simple process that can be done without professional assistance.

Removing wall decals from your home or office walls is also easy. If your design tastes change, the room is repurposed, or you feel that the existing decoration is no longer in style, altering the tone to another style is as simple as peeling off the existing decoration and sticking a new one in its place.

Types of Wall Stickers & Decals

Floral Wall Decals

Floral decals are amongst the most commonly used, and this is for good reason. These decorations are suitable for any room in a home. Placed in the living room, they could add a touch of elegance to the decor. 

Alternatively, they could be placed in the bedroom for a softer tone and splash of colour. They also make great nursery wall decals, as the variety of different flowers and colours available make the options quite versatile.

Tribal Wall Decals

Another decal that has been growing in popularity is the tribal wall. For those who are interested in showing off their proud ancestry, these tribal prints have become an excellent way of displaying their heritage. 

For others, these prints are chosen for their artistic imagery. Whatever the reason, silhouetted tribal imagery is eye-catching and more often becomes a central theme in a room rather than part of the background.

Inspirational Phrases

Using inspirational phrases to decorate walls can be a neat and simple way of adding something extra to an otherwise bare aesthetic. This has become one of the most popular trends with wall and wallpaper stickers and can be found in both homes and offices.

The former of these are often seen in kitchens and living rooms, with phrases that are especially meaningful and uplifting, whereas the latter tend to be more motivational and universal. In either case, people find that by surrounding themselves with positive language and reminders, they experience happier and more productive days.

Wall Art

For those who are looking for more vibrant wall decor, they can find wall art stickers that can be purchased to fit various wall sizes. These very colourful wall decals may be scenic and relaxing, or busy and abstract. Wall art is a quick way to liven up a room with minimal effort and maximum effect.

Photographic Prints

For a more sober effect, there are attractive prints that can be visually captivating to both the trained and untrained eye. For this reason, photographic prints are an ideal choice. These decals may open up a room by using lifelike colours and realistic imagery or may add touches of a more thoughtful atmosphere through the usage of black-and-white prints.

Wall decals for kids 

Another great option for wall stickers for kids is cartoon decals. Sometimes children will feel a special connection with a particular cartoon character. Having these characters on a child’s wall can make the room feel even more unique and special. Many different cartoon characters can be found in decals, including characters suitable for nursery wall stickers, and it will be a fun way to let children help decorate as they see their parents put their favourite heroes up.

Cleaning Wall Decals

The vinyl wallpaper sticker is made from good quality, water-proof materials. This means that the ink will not run as you try to clean them. All you need to do is wash them gently with warm, soapy water. You shouldn’t use any harsh chemicals as that may remove the ink from the surfaces.

Applying & Removing Wall Decals

Whenever decals are applied, it is important to read any instructions left by the manufacturer. However, it will help to know the basic steps, regardless of the specific purchase.

• First, make sure that the walls are dry and clean. 
• Then peel the backing paper directly on itself. 
• Once the backing paper is removed, apply the sticker to the wall. 
• Finally, after applying it and smoothing it down, the transfer paper can be peeled away.

As for removing stickers, this can be done easily if care is taken. The longer a wall sticker stays on a wall, the more the adhesive on the back will set and strengthen. In order to ensure that no residue or paint is left on the wallpaper when the sticker is removed, patience is required. 

• Begin by using a hairdryer on a low setting. Hold it about 5 inches or 25 centimetres from one edge of the decal. As the adhesive warms up, it will soften.
• Once it is soft enough, it should allow for the corner of the decal to be peeled away with ease. 
• This process should be repeated until the entire wall sticker has been removed. 

That’s all there is to it!
