Reading Gives Us Some Place To Go When We Have To Stay Where We Are Wall Decor
Best wall accent for book lovers and cozy reading nooks.
This inspiring wall decal features the quote, "Reading gives us some place to go when we have to stay where we are," attributed to Mason Cooley. It is designed to uplift imagination, making it perfect for libraries, classrooms, or home reading areas. The design incorporates a graphic of a book with pages turning into wings and flying birds. Crafted from high-quality, matte finish Oracal 631 vinyl, this decal reduces light reflections for a painted stencil appearance. It is die-cut, meaning it has no background, and is easily removable without damaging interior surfaces. Customers can select up to two colors to perfectly match their decor.

No, the decal is crafted from Oracal 631 vinyl, which is specifically formulated for interior surfaces. It is designed to be easily removable without damaging your paint or leaving behind residue.

These decals are intended for smooth, non-porous surfaces. They will not adhere well to heavily textured walls, brick, or rough surfaces, as the adhesive requires a flat area to create a proper bond.
The kit includes a professional-grade squeegee to help you smooth the decal onto the wall. We also provide a free practice decal so you can get comfortable with the application process before installing the main piece.
Yes, you can select up to two different colors for your design. This allows you to coordinate the text and the graphic elements to match your specific room decor.
We offer six different sizes ranging from 22.5 inches to 66 inches in width. We recommend measuring your intended wall space beforehand to ensure the dimensions fit comfortably within your chosen area.
