If you have a room to freshen up, but do not have a lot of time or money wall stickers are the answer. Gone are the days when the only kind you could buy were kids cartoon characters or garish flowers. Modern wall stickers come in all shapes and sizes. You can get them in all the colours of the rainbow. Some can even be painted the shade you want before you apply them to the wall. They are the most versatile decorating product there is, after paint.

How to Apply Wall Stickers

To apply wall stickers all you have to do is to make sure that the surface you are applying them to is smooth and has a good finish on it. If you are applying them to a painted surface make sure there are no bubbles in the surface and that the paint is not peeling. Most of the time all you need to do before applying your sticker is to give the area a quick wipe down. Then all you have to do is to peel a corner of the sticker and stick it to the wall. By slowly pulling the backing paper away and smoothing the sticker onto the wall you will get a good finish.

With big wall stickers it is a good idea to get some help. One person can apply ...
... them, but results are better if there are two of you. If you do not have a frined to help you using Blu-tack to hold the wall sticker in place temporarily while you peel off and stick a corner helps a great deal. Checking the positioning of your wall sticker using Blu-tack before adhering it to the wall is a good idea too. That way you can put the sticker up and step back to check what it looks like when you enter the room and how it fits in with your furniture.

Putting up large wall stickers should take no more than 30 minutes, provided you do not have to move too much furniture, and smaller ones go up in 5-10 minutes.
