Know before you buy
The decal is made with Oracal 631 vinyl, which is specifically designed for interior use and is easily removable. When applied to smooth, non-porous surfaces, it should not damage your paint or leave behind a sticky residue.
A die-cut decal has no background or clear border, meaning only the lettering and design elements will appear on your wall. This creates a clean, professional look that mimics the appearance of a hand-painted stencil.
We include a professional application squeegee and a practice decal with every order to help you get comfortable with the process. The detailed instructions provided will guide you through the installation step-by-step.
These decals are designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces. While they may adhere to lightly textured walls, the adhesive works best on flat, clean surfaces to ensure the vinyl lays completely flush.
We offer three sizes ranging from 16.5" x 22.5" to 31.5" x 42.5". We recommend measuring your intended wall space with painter's tape beforehand to visualize how the dimensions will fit in relation to your furniture or room layout.
