Not sure? Ask away.
How do they come off, and will it affect my paint?
It depends on your paint. Our fabric decals are easiest on fresh, clean, non-chalky paint over a proper primer, and come off with gentle heat: warm with a hairdryer and peel slowly, low to the wall. Old, chalky or poorly bonded paint can lift with any adhesive product. That's why every order includes a free test piece — try it on the same wall first. Not for textured walls, raw plaster or chalky surfaces. Renting? Read our renter FAQ.
Wall decal or wall sticker: what's the difference?
Mostly the material. Most wall stickers are shiny vinyl, often printed from a photo of someone else's art. Ours start as watercolours painted by our in-house artist, then we print them on thick matte fabric in Melbourne. No sheen, no white border, no plastic look, so the art reads as paint. Customers tell us their family asks who painted it.
Wall decals or wallpaper for a kids' room?
Decals if you want a feature without covering the whole wall: a tree beside the cot, animals above the bed, an arch behind a reading nook. They go up in an afternoon, and you can add pieces as they grow. Wallpaper if you want pattern edge to edge. We make both, on the same matte fabric. See our wallpaper.
What if I make a mistake putting it up?
Lift the piece and move it while you're installing — the adhesive lets you reposition during the first placement. If it's been up a while, warm it with a hairdryer first. Step-by-step instructions come with every order, and it's genuinely a no-tools job: clean the wall, peel, place, smooth from the centre out.
What surfaces do wall decals stick to?
Smooth, clean, painted interior walls — ideally primer plus two coats of good acrylic. Not textured walls, brick, render, flaky or chalky paint, humid rooms, or paint less than 4 weeks old. Put them up within 3 months of buying.
How fast do you ship?
Most orders leave our Melbourne studio within 48 hours (up to 5 business days during sales). Free standard shipping on orders $150+, Australia-wide.
