Most wall stickers from AdesiivoStudio come with everything you need. But a few extra tools on hand make the process even smoother.
Surface preparation is the single most important step for a lasting application. Wall stickers adhere best to smooth, clean, dry surfaces. Start by wiping down the wall with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and any oily residue. Let the surface dry completely before you move on.
Avoid applying stickers to freshly painted walls. Wait at least two to three weeks for the paint to fully cure. Textured walls, brick, or heavily porous surfaces may not provide ideal adhesion. Smooth painted plasterboard, glass, metal, and laminate surfaces work best.
“Surface preparation is the single most important step for a lasting application.”
Once your wall is clean and dry, it's time to apply your sticker. Follow these steps for a perfect result every time.
“Step back, then step closer. Your eye is the best level any wall ever needed.”
Air bubbles are the most common concern when applying wall stickers, but they're easy to prevent and fix. The key is to work slowly and apply even pressure from the centre outward.
If a small bubble does appear, prick it with a fine needle and smooth the vinyl flat with your finger. For larger bubbles, carefully peel back the sticker to just past the bubble and reapply slowly. Our premium vinyl with air-release technology makes this much easier. Tiny channels in the adhesive let air escape naturally.
“Bubbles are easier to prevent than to fix — work slowly, from the centre outward.”
One of the biggest advantages of vinyl wall stickers over wallpaper is easy removal. When it's time for a change, peel the sticker off starting from one corner, pulling slowly at a 45-degree angle. If any adhesive residue remains, a dab of rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth will lift it without damaging the paint.
Our stickers are designed to come off without leaving marks or damaging your walls. That makes them perfect for renters and anyone who loves to refresh their space regularly.
“Vinyl peels off cleanly. Walls stay perfect. Renters, this one is for you.”
