Before You Start: Set Your Walls Up for Success
Great results start with the right prep. Make sure your walls are clean, dry, and in good condition before applying your decals.

Not Sure About Your Paint? Test First
Not all paints are created equal. If you're unsure whether your wall is suitable, we strongly recommend testing a small section of the decal first. Apply it to a discreet area and leave it for a few days. This helps identify any potential adhesion issues and avoids damaging delicate or flaky paint.

Paint Quality Matters
For best adhesion, your walls should be:
- Properly primed
- Painted with two coats of good-quality paint
- Fully cured (outgassed) for at least four weeks

Even professionally painted walls can sometimes cause issues if they haven’t been sealed or primed correctly. Peeling often occurs when a top coat is applied without proper prep underneath.

Freshly Painted?
Please wait at least four weeks before applying your decals. This allows the paint to fully cure and helps prevent bubbling, peeling, or decals falling off.

Worried About Removal?
Our decals are designed to be removable. Gentle heat (like a hairdryer) softens the adhesive and makes removal easier, especially on delicate paint. See our Removal Guide for more tips.

Prep Checklist
- Wash your hands
- Wipe the wall with a damp microfiber cloth to remove dust
- Let the wall dry completely

Applying Your Decals
Unroll your decal sheet, peel carefully, and place the decal where you'd like. Smooth it out using your hands or a felt squeegee/microfiber-wrapped card. Apply firm, even pressure — the adhesive is pressure-activated.

For Large Decals
Overlap pieces by approximately 1 cm. Align patterns carefully and rotate slightly if needed for a clean match. Take your time for a seamless result.

Need to Reposition?
Absolutely. Our decals are reusable and can be adjusted. Just clean your hands and the wall again before reapplying.

Storage Tip
Keep the original backing paper in case you’d like to move or store your decals later.

Safety Reminder
Always ensure decals are firmly pressed down, especially near beds or sleeping areas. Check them regularly. If any start to lift or peel, remove them immediately.

Friendly Disclaimer
While our decals are designed to be removable, we cannot guarantee damage-free removal in all situations. Surface quality, paint type, and removal method can affect the outcome. Minor paint touch-ups may be needed. Always follow our preparation and removal instructions for best results.
