Wall decals, also known as wall stickers or wall art, are vinyl stickers used for decorating smooth surfaces. They offer an affordable way to enhance your space with large artwork and feature a matte finish that resembles painted designs. Easy to install and removable, they’re perfect for nurseries, kids’ rooms, lounges, dining areas, and even offices, adding a stylish touch wherever needed.

Under typical indoor conditions, our decals can last between 3 - 7 years. Their durability may be influenced by factors like intense direct sunlight, high humidity, and the quality of the surface they’re applied to.

Playwall Decals is proud to be a local business with 100% of our products made right here in New Zealand.

Application Tape Decals (1/2):

1. Clean the Surface
   Wipe the wall with a damp cloth to ensure it’s clean, smooth, and dust-free. Lightly sand wash’n’wear paint for better grip, and wait two weeks for fresh paint to cure.
2. Gather Your Tools
   Have a flat, smooth tool (like a credit card) and a step stool (if needed) to help you apply the decal with better control.
3. Prepare the Area
   Remove any furniture or obstacles from around the area where you’ll be applying the decal to give yourself enough space.
4. Unroll the Decal
   Lay the decal flat on a clean surface and gently unroll it to avoid creases.
5. Check the Design
   Lay the decal on the floor and confirm that you have everything you need and the design is in the correct orientation.
6. Plan the Placement
   Hold the decal against the wall to visualize where you want to place it. Use tape to temporarily stick it in place. Step back to check alignment. Then, measure from the floor to both ends of the decal's center line using a measuring tape to ensure it's level.
7. Peel Back the Decal
   Carefully peel back the top 1/4 of the decal from the backing paper and let it hang.
8. Fold the Backing Paper
   Now fold the backing paper back towards the wall and behind itself and the decal.
9. Apply the Top Quarter
   With the hanging decal, pull it back up to the wall and carefully position and apply it as evenly as possible to the wall.
10. Remove Remaining Tape
    With the top 1/4 of the decal in place, remove the tape holding the rest of the decal (the remaining 3/4) in place.
11. Peel and Apply the Rest
    Peel off the backing paper from the remaining 3/4 of the decal. Apply the rest of the decal to the wall, pulling gently on it to ensure it adheres evenly.
12. Smooth Out the Decal
    Use your hands, a credit card, or a spatula to smooth the decal from the center out to the edges, eliminating any air bubbles or wrinkles.
13. Remove the Application Tape
    Once the decal is fully applied and smooth, gently peel away the application tape to reveal your perfectly placed decal.

Peel & Stick Decals (2/2):

Step 1: Clean the Wall

Step 2: Plan the Placement
For large decals, tape them to the wall temporarily. Adjust as needed and take a photo for reference.

Step 3: Peel the Decal
Carefully peel the decal off the backing paper, starting from one edge.

Step 4: Stick the Decal
Press one edge of the decal onto the wall, then smooth it from the center outward with your hand.

Step 5: Remove Bubbles
Use your fingers or a credit card to push out any air bubbles.

Step 6: Repeat for Multiple Parts
If your decal has multiple pieces, repeat the process for each section.
