How To Use Wall Decals In Your Home

By Libby O. Mosciski


You can bring a nice and unique touch to your home dcor by using vinyl wall decals that adhere directly to the wall using simple transfer tape. There are tons of options for you to consider when you want to add a decal to room in your house in order to introduce a new look to the dcor; take your time to find decals that really fit your personal taste. One of the great advantages of using adhesive vinyl decals is that they do not damage your walls in any way; this is in stark contrast to most wall art, such as frames and hanging dcor, which can strip paint and leave big holes in the wall. If you wish to use decals to adorn your home, consider the following tips on how to install them safely and properly.

In order for your wall decals to correctly adhere to the wall where you want to place them the surface of the wall must be absolutely clean. Dirt, dust, or flaking paint may get the adhesive to lose its grip on the wall and will could eventually cause your decal to droop or fall of the wall completely. This works for any surface that you will put your decals on including concrete, wood, glass, and metal. If you will be putting it on a freshly painted wall, be sure to wait a full 2 weeks after painting before applying the decal to prevent problems with drying paint.

Transfer tape is attached to wall decals in their packaging and is a simple method to adhere them to the wall. Use a credit card or a similar tool to press the transfer tape to the vinyl decal before you actually put it on the wall so that you are sure that the adhesive is ready. Next, draw some guide lines and marks on the wall where you will place the decal so that you can position it without difficulty.

Confirm on the position of the decal as you apply it to the wall; you can push it firmly and use your credit card to apply the tape to the wall once it is in the right position. You will need to spread the adhesive evenly and entirely so that air bubbles do not form.

When you are completely finished, you can peel back the transfer tape to reveal your perfectly placed decal dcor. You can bring lots of fun wall decals to your home if you shop for them online where you get the most options and the lowest prices available anywhere.
