All our wall art stickers are temporary and fully removable, although they can last for a long time. On average, up to 5 years and more indoors and will not damage your walls when they are removed.

They are perfect for children's rooms, because as their tastes change over the years, so can their wall art.

Even the wall art in your lounge, dining room or bedroom can change as your colours and taste changes over time.

How to apply wall art.

There are a few preparations to be done before you can apply the wall art.

The surface must be clean and any paint should be dry.

Shiny surfaces like windows, glass or mirrors must be free of dust, grime and oil. Using a window cleaner should be enough to get a clean surface.

Make sure that on smooth surfaces the sticker doesn't form bubbles. Especially if it is a large sticker, let someone help you with the application. Apply the sticker slowly and follow the application guide carefully.
