Will Wall Decals Damage Your Walls? Debunking the Myth

Debunking the Myth: Wall Decals Won't Ruin Your Walls!

Hey mums (and dads), let's talk about something fun and fabulous for your little one's room—wall decals! These nifty decorations are the perfect way to jazz up any nursery without breaking the bank. But, we've all heard the whispers: "Won't they ruin my walls?" Let's get to the bottom of this myth!

What Are Wall Decals Anyway?

Wall decals, also known as wall stickers or wall graphics, are adhesive-backed decorations made from vinyl or fabric. They come in all sorts of adorable designs and sizes (have you seen ours? They're super cute!) and make it easy to personalise your little one's space.

Myth-Busting Time: Will Wall Decals Damage My Walls?

There's a common misconception that wall decals will damage your walls, like peeling off paint or leaving nasty marks. But fear not! This worry comes from the days of yucky old wallpaper and low-quality sticky stuff. Modern wall decals are designed to be removable and should not harm your walls when applied and removed correctly.

At Tiny Haven, we’ve got the friendliest, most delightful removable fabric wallpaper and wall decals out there! Our secret weapon? Polyester Fabric! This magical, peel-and-stick polyester fabric can be slapped on almost any flat surface (indoors and out) and removed without leaving any residue. Now that’s mum-approved!

Things to Keep in Mind

While Tiny Haven’s decals are the bee’s knees, here are a few things to consider in general:

Surface Prep: Make sure your wall is clean, smooth, and dry before you start sticking. No one likes a lumpy decal! (Even for the highest quality decal this step should not be missed!).

Quality Matters: Not all decals are created equal. High-quality decals (like ours) are designed for easy removal without any mess. Cheap ones? Not so much - trust me I have learnt the hard way!

Type of Paint: Glossy or semi-gloss paints are your friends—they offer a smooth surface for better adhesion. Matte or flat paints might need a little extra TLC during application and removal.

Duration of Application: Our magical wall decals are in it for the long haul! They can last for years if properly applied - you can't go wrong for indoor use in your little one's room. Just give them a regular check to make sure they're still snug on the wall. 

The Bottom Line

The idea that wall decals will wreck your walls is a total myth! With the right decals (hello, Tiny Haven!) and proper application, your walls will stay as pristine as the day you moved in. Ready to transform your child's room into a tiny haven? Check out our range of fabric wall decals here.
