Nature Wall Decals

Decals come as separate leaves, branches, birds, or landscape elements, so you place only what you need and leave open wall where it helps the room breathe. They suit rentals, quick refreshes, and small zones like nurseries that may change later. Wallpaper works for full coverage with a continuous repeat, while decals are about building a scene piece by piece.

Use a smooth, clean, dry wall finished in eggshell or satin. Let new paint cure for at least two weeks, then wash with mild soap, rinse, and allow it to dry completely. Finish with a light wipe of isopropyl alcohol to clear oils and dust, and avoid heavy texture, damp corners found in bathrooms, and chalky paint.

Removal is usually clean on sound, primed paint, making them ideal for apartments where walls must be restored at move-out. Warm a corner with a hair dryer on low for about twenty seconds and peel back slowly at a shallow angle while supporting the surface. Reuse is not guaranteed, since the adhesive loses strength once lifted, so plan as if each piece is single-use.

Lay the set on the floor, photograph a layout you like, and transfer simple pencil guides to the wall. Keep the largest elements lower or near a focal point, let smaller pieces taper outward, and leave five to eight centimeters between clusters. This layered approach works particularly well for tropical compositions. Step back a few paces after every couple of pieces, adjust spacing, then press along every edge so each decal sits flat.
