Wall Decals

Capital Imaging is the complete visual display and graphics solution for any creative project.

Wall decals are a flexible and creative way to decorate or provide information on walls. They come in various designs, sizes, and materials, making them suitable for both residential and commercial spaces. Here’s a guide to using wall decals effectively:

Types of Wall Decals:

  • Removable Vinyl Decals: Ideal for temporary applications or for those who like to change their decor frequently. They can be easily removed without damaging the wall.
  • Permanent Vinyl Decals: Designed for long-term use, these decals adhere strongly and are durable, suitable for areas where you want a more lasting application.
  • Fabric Decals: Made from fabric material, these decals are often more textured and can give a softer appearance. They are usually removable and repositionable.
  • Peel and Stick Decals: These are easy to apply and remove, making them suitable for renters or those who frequently update their space.

Design Considerations:

  • Purpose:
    • Decorative: Use for adding artistic elements, patterns, or themes to a room.
    • Informational: Perfect for educational settings, offices, or commercial spaces where you need to provide information or instructions.
    • Branding: Incorporate logos, slogans, or branding elements in business environments.
  • Size and Shape:
    • Proportions: Ensure the decal size is appropriate for the wall space. Large decals work well as focal points, while smaller ones can be used as accents.
    • Customization: Consider custom shapes or sizes to fit specific design needs or spaces.
  • Color and Design:
    • Contrast: Use colors that stand out against the wall color for better visibility and impact.
    • Theme: Choose designs that match the overall theme or style of the room. For example, whimsical designs for a child’s room, or sleek, modern designs for a professional office.

Application Tips:

  • Surface Preparation: Clean the wall thoroughly to remove dust and grease. The surface should be smooth, dry, and free of imperfections for the best adhesion.
  • Placement: Use a level or measuring tape to ensure decals are applied evenly. Plan the layout before applying to avoid mistakes.
  • Application Method:
    • Peel and Stick: Simply peel off the backing and apply the decal. Smooth out air bubbles using a squeegee or credit card.
    • Transfer Tape: For intricate designs, use transfer tape to help position the decal accurately.

Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: Clean wall decals with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the decal’s surface.
  • Durability: Check the decals periodically to ensure they are staying adhered and have not started peeling at the edges.

Removal:

  • Peel Off: Most removable decals can be peeled off easily without damaging the wall. If the decal leaves residue, clean the area with a mild cleaner.
  • Heat Application: For stubborn decals, applying gentle heat with a hairdryer can help loosen the adhesive, making removal easier.

Creative Ideas:

  • Murals and Large Designs: Create feature walls with large murals or thematic designs to make a strong visual impact.
  • Quotes and Typography: Use inspirational quotes or typographic designs for a personal touch.
  • Educational and Informative: Use decals to display charts, maps, or educational content in classrooms or offices.
