Stunning 3D Wall Art Stickers

Should I Use Wall Decal Stickers To Decorate My Home?

Wall art decal stickers have flourished since the early days of their more 'basic' and 'common' designs and especially with 3D being thrown in the mix, well, you can certainly use your imagination when it comes to making a feature point in any room in your home, or even perhaps your office or b&b!

Decals can vary from simple wall borders and small cut out pieces, to the more 'detailed' of wall art, which can cover entire walls. Wall Art Quotes are very popular, especially in young children's bedrooms. If removed from the wall carefully, they are usually re-usable, which is great if you've more than a couple of kids, as you can hand-them-down!

Conventional decals are made from PVC plastic and cut from an individual colour using a vinyl cutter or laser cutter. You can also print a full colour picture onto vinyl, contouring around it. What I also love is the choice of different finishes, which range from mirrored effect, metallic to glitter.

Originally, decals were used for sign making, but as you can imagine as time has gone on, these developed further onto wall art decorations – wall art decals or wall art stickers as otherwise known.

Initially, these were bought mostly by people whom rented their property and didn't wish to spend lots of cash doing up there place, for someone else's benefit in the long run. However, I would say it's both a novice decorator's ideal wall decoration 'accessory', as much as the 'seasoned Interior Designer's' additional 'aide', when coming up with new and fresh ideas to make up a room.

What are the benefits of using a wall art decal sticker?

Wall Art Decal Stickers are a quick, affordable and pretty easy way to decorate your home. You don't have to create lots of mess if you just want a 'quick' new look and you can have it done in an hour (on average).... Other benefits to using wall art stickers is that they do not damage your walls, as well as placing them on non-porous surface's and smooth, such as onto windows, mirrors, doors etc.

Can I use wall art decal stickers on any wall?

The golden rule of sticking wall decals onto walls successfully, is that the texture is smooth and not too porous. Obviously, if the surface has bumps, is textured or rough, then this is going to be the end result of your newly stuck up wall art design. They are also not advisable for brick or non-painted cement surfaces.

How do I prepare my surface/wall before applying my decal sticker for best results?

So assuming your surface is smooth enough, just use a dampened warm cloth or sponge. (I use a touch of washing up liquid.) Make sure you clean the area thoroughly of any left-over cleaning residue and allow to fully dry before applying your sticker/decal.

Another point to remember, is that decal stickers don't tend to stick too well to cold walls. Therefore, place your hand on the surface and if it does feel cold, stick your heating up in the room long enough for the wall to become warmed up.

Final Overview of Wall Art Decal Stickers – Personally, I love them; especially the 3D effect ones! If you get bored quite quickly of a room colour or design, you can change it up easily with decals. They can truly transform/enhance a room, as well as your mood. Plus, they are an affordable way to decorate your rooms and you don't need to pay someone to put them up for you... though a bit of patience perhaps won't go amiss! ;)
