Real Talk: “No Damage” Decals? That’s Not Really a Thing.
Let’s be honest—if you’re living in a rental or just love your walls (and your bond), the idea of damaging them with decals can feel a bit stressful. And we get it. You've probably seen the phrase “no damage decals” thrown around online, promising magical results with zero risk. But here’s the truth:There’s no such thing as guaranteed damage-free decals.That’s not because the decals are faulty—it’s because paint is unpredictable. But don’t worry. With the right prep, knowledge, and removal techniques, you can absolutely use wall decals safely—and keep your paint, and your deposit, totally intact. So Why Isn’t “No Damage” Guaranteed? Here’s what most people don’t realise:The issue isn’t the decal—it’s the condition of the paint underneath. In our demo video, our founder shows decal removal on a wall that was freshly painted with a top coat (just for cosmetic purposes). It’s upstairs in our warehouse—not the ideal surface—but that’s the point. It proves that even on a less-than-perfect wall, damage-free removal is possible when done properly. Now, here’s what can go wrong: If the wall hasn’t been properly painted with an undercoat and at least two coats of high-quality paint, the paint might not hold during removal. If the paint is fresh and hasn’t cured for at least 30 days, it’s still soft and more likely to lift. If the paint is older, exposed to sunlight, or in a high-traffic area, it may be brittle or flaking already. In short, it’s not about the decal failing—it’s about how well the wall was prepared and how carefully you remove it. What Renters (and Homeowners) Are Really Worried About If you’re renting, we know what’s going through your head: “What if I pull it off and the paint comes with it?” “What if I lose my bond?” “I want something temporary, not something I’ll regret.” These are all fair fears—and totally valid. That’s why we’re committed to educating our community on how to make decals a safe, beautiful, and stress-free addition to any space. Wall decals are an incredible renter-friendly option when used the right way—and we’re here to show you exactly how to do that. Here’s What You Need to Know Before Applying Decals The ideal surface is a wall painted with an undercoat and two coats of high-quality paint. Fresh paint needs time to cure. Wait at least 30 days before applying any decals. Older or damaged paint can lift, flake, or peel during removal. Test a small section first if you’re unsure. How to Remove Decals the Right Way (So Your Walls Stay Safe) Warm it up: Use a hairdryer to gently heat the decal. This softens the adhesive and helps it lift cleanly. Peel with care: Slowly peel the decal back against the wall—not straight out. Avoid a sharp 90° pull, which is where paint damage can happen. Final Thoughts: We’re Not Here to Sugarcoat At Tiny Walls, we’re not just here to sell you a dream—we’re here to help you get it right. We believe in transparency, smart application, and providing helpful tools like our Decal Removal Guide to make sure you feel confident at every step. Most walls will be totally fine—but knowledge is power, especially when you're decorating a rental. Have questions? Need help choosing the right decal? We’re always here to support you.

Why Traditional Wall Stickers Are Letting You Down (And What to Use Instead)
If you’ve ever tried decorating with traditional wall stickers, you know the frustration. Sticky residue, peeling corners, and a permanent adhesive that’s almost impossible to remove without damaging your walls—sound familiar? It’s time to break free from the limitations of old-school wall stickers and discover a better way to personalise your space. At Tiny Walls, we’re changing the game with rental-friendly wall decals designed for modern living. Whether you’re renting, redecorating, or simply love switching up your style, our decals are here to make your life easier. No more mess, no more stress—just stunning designs that transform your walls effortlessly. The Problem with Traditional Wall Stickers Traditional wall stickers—usually made from PVC or vinyl—might look cute at first, but they come with a host of issues: Sticky Residue: When removed, they leave behind a tacky mess that’s a nightmare to clean. Permanent Adhesive: Designed to stay forever, they can take chunks of paint with them if you ever want a change. Cheap Appearance: Many look shiny, plasticky, and far from the polished look you’re after. If you’re renting, these issues can be more than just an inconvenience—they could cost you your bond! What Makes Tiny Walls Different? Our self-adhesive fabric decals are designed to give you all the style of traditional wall stickers without any of the drawbacks. Residue-Free Removal: Our water-based adhesive ensures the decals peel off cleanly without leaving a sticky mess. Non-Permanent Adhesive: Change your look as often as you like—no mess, no drama. Eco-Friendly Material: Made from non-toxic, PVC-free fabric, our decals are safe for kids, pets, and the planet. Sophisticated Finish: With a smooth, matte look, our decals resemble painted murals rather than cheap stickers.

Easy Application: Simply peel and stick—no tools, no mess, no stress. Versatile Use: Perfect for walls, furniture, and even windows. Reusable Designs: Remove and reapply with ease if you want to switch things up. Tips for Perfect Results Choose the Right Surface: Apply to smooth, clean walls with two coats of good-quality paint. Test First: Order a sample to ensure compatibility with your walls. Easy Removal: For trickier surfaces, gently warm the decal with a hairdryer before peeling it off.
