Wall Decals & Peel-Stick Wallpaper

Start by cleaning the wall and allowing it to dry fully, as dust or moisture can stop the adhesive from bonding properly. Peel back a small section of the backing, align the wallpaper at the top, then smooth down gradually with a cloth or squeegee to push out air bubbles. Work slowly and avoid stretching the material.

Wall decals and peel-and-stick wallpaper can be a good choice for rented homes because they are easier to apply and remove than pasted wallpaper. Always check the product details and test a small hidden area first, especially on freshly painted, textured or delicate walls. Removal is usually easiest when done slowly and gently.

Some peel-and-stick wall coverings are suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, particularly wipe-clean vinyl designs, but they should be kept away from direct water contact and high heat. Apply them to smooth, dry surfaces such as painted walls, tiles or cupboard fronts. Good ventilation will help the adhesive last longer in humid rooms.

Measure the height and width of the wall, then compare this with the roll size or decal dimensions listed on the product page. Add extra allowance for pattern matching, trimming and mistakes, especially with repeated prints or mural panels. If you are covering a large feature wall, it is usually best to order all rolls at the same time for consistency.

Orders over £60 qualify for free delivery, making it easier to buy multiple rolls or decals for a room makeover. If an item is not suitable, check the returns information before sending it back, as products should generally be unused, undamaged and in their original packaging. Always review the product page for any item-specific guidance.
