A hand-painted style wall decal can be better than standard or mass-produced decals for several reasons, especially when it comes to aesthetics and personalization:
Artistic Look and Feel
A hand-painted style gives the illusion of a mural or custom artwork, adding depth, texture, and uniqueness that printed graphics often lack.
It can blend more organically with the room’s design, unlike glossy or flat decals that may look like stickers.
Custom and Personal
These decals often mimic the imperfections and brush strokes of real art, making them feel more personal and thoughtfully designed.
They can match specific themes, color palettes, or decor styles more precisely than generic options.
Elevated Aesthetic
They make a room look curated and intentional—like a designer or artist was involved.
Especially popular in nurseries, children’s rooms, or creative spaces, where a whimsical, soft, and artistic vibe is desirable.
Easy to Apply, No mess
You get the visual richness of a mural without the cost or commitment of hiring a muralist.
Unlike actual paint, they are removable and repositionable, making them renter-friendly.
Being an adhesive woven fabric wall decal is a type of wall decoration made from a woven polyester fabric material that has a repositionable adhesive backing. Unlike traditional vinyl decals, these fabric decals have a matte, textured surfacethat resembles canvas, giving a more premium, non-glossy finish.
Key Features:
Removable & Repositionable: Can be peeled off and reapplied without damaging walls or leaving residue.
Durable: Tear-resistant and often more robust than vinyl.
Eco-friendly Options: PVC-free and printed with eco-solvent inks.
Easy to Install: Can be applied by hand without tools.
Wall-Safe: Ideal for renters, nurseries, or temporary displays.
A wall decal (also can be known as a wall sticker) is a decorative sticker or graphic usually made of a vinyl material or a fabric material that can be stuck onto a smooth surface. The adhesive backing allows for long lasting adhesive life and has a easy removal without damaging the wall.
Wall decals can range from simple shapes and quotes to elaborate murals or custom designs. They are popular in both homes and businesses as a non-permanent way to enhance interior décor.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Clean the Wall
Wipe the area with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and oils.
Let the wall dry completely before applying the decal.
2. Position the Decal
Hold the decal up to the wall (with the backing still on).
Make sure you have the desired position - however with these decals you are able to peel off and reposition.
3. Peel Backing Paper (Partial)
Peel a small portion of the backing paper away from the top of the decal.
Stick that part to the wall and smooth it down.
4. Apply and Smooth
Slowly peel the rest of the backing paper while smoothing the decal onto the wall with a squeegee or credit card.
Work from top to bottom or center outward to avoid bubbles.
6. Final Touches
Smooth out any bubbles or edges with your squeegee or fingers.
Let it sit for a few hours before touching or cleaning the area.
A wall decal sticks to the wall using a low-tack adhesive that is pre-applied to the back of the decal. Here’s how it works:
Adhesive Layer: The back of the decal has a pressure-sensitive adhesive—similar to a sticker but designed to be more gentle and removable. It's strong enough to hold the decal in place but usually allows removal without damaging paint or leaving residue (on most surfaces).
Surface Contact: When you press the decal onto a smooth, clean surface (like painted drywall, glass, or varnished wood), the adhesive makes contact and forms a bond through surface tension and light pressure.
Surface Compatibility: Decals adhere best to smooth, dry, and clean surfaces. Rough, porous, or dusty walls can reduce adhesion.
The best surface for a wall decal is:
Smooth, Clean and Dry:
Ideal surfaces include:
Painted drywall (especially with satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finishes - and been painted over 30 days ago)
Glass
Smooth Metal
Smooth varnished wood
Tile
Avoid these surfaces:
Textured walls (like orange peel, stucco, or brick)
Flat or matte paint (can resist adhesion)
Freshly painted walls (wait at least 3-4 weeks for curing) (Curing is the process where paint fully dries and develops full strength and durability)
Dirty, greasy, or dusty surfaces
Before applying, always:
Clean the surface with mild soap and water or rubbing alcohol.
Let it fully dry.
Test a small area if possible.
In most cases, repositionable wall decals can be reused, but it depends on a few factors:
When Reuse Is Possible:
The decal is specifically labeled “repositionable” or “removable and reusable.”
The adhesive is still intact and hasn’t picked up dust, dirt, or lost stickiness.
You removed it carefully without stretching, tearing, or curling the edges.
You stored it properly on a clean backing sheet or wax paper between uses.
When Reuse Might Not Work Well:
If the decal has been on the wall for a long time and the adhesive has degraded.
If the backing or adhesive picked up debris or got folded.
Tips for Reusing Wall Decals:
Peel off slowly and gently to avoid damaging the decal.
Place it on a clean, flat surface like the original backing or wax paper for storage.
When applying again, smooth it from the center outward to avoid air bubbles.
