Baby Room Wall Decals

Types of Baby Room Wall Decals

With the boom in do-it-yourself home decorating, there has been a surge in the availability of uncomplicated wall décor accessories. In the past, the main option for fun baby wall graphics was to hand-paint or stencil a design or mural onto the walls. For those who aren’t artistic themselves, this meant hiring a decorative painter which can be a budget-buster. Wall decals are an affordable and fast way to replicate the look of expensive murals and hand-painted designs.

The two basic types of wall decals that are currently available include self-stick varieties and pre-pasted wallpaper cutouts. Both of these products come in themed kits with amazing graphics in a variety of shapes and sizes. There are also self-stick wall borders and wallpaper border cutouts which can add charm to any nursery design.

The self-adhesive wall decals are generally removable and repositionable when placed on any clean, smooth surface such as walls or furniture. Self-sticking wall decals are typically made of vinyl or coated paper for durability. Even though these decals are usually easy to remove, it’s smart to test your wall surface before applying the product on a long-term basis.

Pre-pasted wallpaper cutouts are the other major type of wall decals on the market. These vinyl-coated wall decals go up much like wallpaper, except that they are much easier to handle and require no measuring or cutting. Just use a little water on a damp sponge to activate the paste and stick them on any smooth surface including walls, tiles, trash baskets, lampshades, and furniture. One thing to keep in mind is that these wallpaper cutouts are made to be semi-permanent with water soluble glue, so you will need to wet them before removing from walls.
