Details
Wall stickers can brighten any space in your home. And they come in almost any style — you'll find an endless variety available on the market today. But before you apply any wall stickers, be sure you are prepared and have all of the necessary tools and materials.
Tips
- Consider yourself warned: many wall stickers are not repositionable. Once they are secured, they cannot be removed.
- They are perfect for rental homes. Wall stickers allow renters to add style without changing or damaging the finish.
- If it's a large sticker, ask a friend or family member to help you. This will make it easier to keep the decals from sticking together while you are working.
