Painted first
It starts as a real painting
Every design starts as a watercolour painted by hand by our in-house artist. We print it ourselves on thick matte fabric in Melbourne, so there's no shine and no white border. Every design is our own. If you see one of our designs for a few dollars on a marketplace, it isn't ours.
- Watercolour painted by our in-house artist
- Printed on thick matte fabric, not vinyl
- Designed and printed in Melbourne

Complete the room
Up in an afternoon
From bland to magical, in an afternoon
No painter. No mural. No fumes in the room.
01
Wipe the wall
Clean, dry and dust-free. Best on fresh, smooth, well-primed paint.
02
Peel and press on
Peel slowly from one corner and press it on. Lift and move it until it sits right.
03
Smooth it down
Smooth it flat with your hand, then step back and watch their face when they walk in.
The details
About the design
About the design
A hand-illustrated fabric wall decal of an old-world explorer's map in soft sea blue and parchment cream, with a tall ship, compass rose, anchor, ship's wheel, treasure island, curling waves and seagulls. We print it on matte fabric in Melbourne, so on the wall it looks painted on.
Which size? Pick by the space you want to fill.
- Small, 90 × 65cm: a framed-print look above a desk or dresser.
- Medium, 1.2m × 87cm: a wider map to anchor the wall above a desk or reading nook.
- Large, 1.8m × 1.3m: a statement map that fills more than half the height of a standard 2.4m wall.
All sizes are width × height.
What it's made of
- Watercolour art painted by our in-house artist
- Printed on thick matte fabric, not vinyl, so there's no shine and no white border
- Peel and stick. Lift and move each piece while you install
- Designed and printed in Melbourne
- A test piece comes in every order. Stick it up the day it arrives and check it after 2 days
Walls, paint & removal
- Best on smooth, clean interior walls with fresh, well-primed paint
- Just painted? Wait around 30 days for the paint to cure first
- Not for textured, flaky, chalky or unprimed walls, brick, render, outdoors or steamy rooms
- Put them up within 3 months of buying. Decals are best fresh, not stored
- Taking them down: warm with a hair dryer, then peel slowly, down along the wall
- How removal goes depends on your paint. Try the test piece first
A note on your paint: Wash & Wear and other low-VOC paints, and walls painted without a separate primer, carry a higher risk of paint chipping. All paint wears with age. The test piece in your order shows you how your wall behaves. It's a guide, not a guarantee.
Shipping & returns
- Dispatched from Victoria, normally within 48 hours (up to 5 business days during sales)
- Free standard shipping on Australian orders over $150. Express Post available at checkout

- 30-day money-back guarantee. If anything's wrong, email hello@tinywalls.com.au and we'll replace or refund it
- Changed your mind? Return themed decals within 30 days, unused and still on their backing. Opening the pack and trying the test piece is fine
Questions
Not sure? Ask away.
Is this the same as the cheaper ones online?
No. Every Tiny Walls design starts as a watercolour painted by our in-house artist, and we print it ourselves on thick matte fabric in Melbourne. Copies are usually glossy vinyl printed from a photo of our art, shipped from overseas. If you find one of our designs much cheaper on a marketplace, it isn't ours.
Will it fit my wall?
Check the size above and the “How big is it?” photo in the gallery, which shows it to scale on a real wall. Between sizes? Size up: decals read smaller on a wall than you expect.

Not sure about your paint?
Try it on your wall first
Every order comes with a test piece. Stick it somewhere out of sight, leave it two days, then warm it with a hair dryer and peel slowly. You'll know how your wall behaves before the full set goes up.
- Test piece in every order
- Best on fresh, clean, non-chalky paint
- Put them up within 3 months of buying
- Lift and move pieces while you install
Not for unprimed or textured walls, raw plaster, or chalky, powdery or flaking paint. When in doubt, test first.
