Know before you buy
No, the decal is crafted from high-quality Oracal 631 vinyl specifically designed for interior surfaces. It is easily removable and will not damage your paint or leave behind sticky residue when applied correctly.
Yes, the decal is die-cut, meaning you can cut the individual words or phrases apart before application. This allows you to customize the layout to fit your specific wall space or creative vision.
It features a high-quality matte finish. This is specifically chosen to reduce light reflections and give the appearance of a professional, hand-painted stencil rather than a sticker.
While the vinyl adheres best to smooth, clean surfaces, it can work on lightly textured walls. However, the decal may not adhere as well to heavy textures, as the vinyl needs full contact with the surface to lay flat.
Each order includes an application tool and detailed instructions to guide you through the process. You will only need a clean, dry surface and a steady hand to ensure a smooth application.
