Dali Decals; a room makeover in an instant!

My most recent review was on a large wall decal from Dali Decals. I must say, I honestly didn't expect it to come out "classy" at all. I thought "this thing will look like a big sticker" and that's that. I was very wrong. It looks very elegant, and to tell the truth, I am already looking around for a place to put another one!
The instructions were excellent, and their site also offers a handy install video for those that are visual learners. I had no trouble whatsoever applying mine to my wall.

With textured walls, they suggest going with a semi-gloss color, and really taking your time with installation to make sure the wall decal is adhering well to the wall. It's important for all of the decal to get into the texture, so after the initial install, they recommend working the decal into the texture with your finger. This is something I had to do because my walls have a hint of texture, but not much. I think it's going to work out just fine; but I do think smooth walls would be your best bet! Wall decals are the perfect way to personalize any space, but I really think they would be awesome for dorms, and for apartments or rental properties that don't allow tenants to paint!

  3. I love the "Conserve water, shower with a friend" decal! My husband and I just moved into our new home and I have been looking for something to hang in our huge bathroom. This would be perfect! We are known to share bath tub time with our dogs...a much easier way to bath the little stinkers!

  85. We are finally redecorating (and we picked a fine time economically to do so!) but these Dali Decals have truly inspired me with ideas. I love trees and can already visualize BOTH the "Cherry Blossom Blowing in the Wind" and the "Tall Tree With Leaves Blowing in the Wind" in various spaces/places in our house. They are stunning!

    (If Dali Decals had a mailing list or a newsletter - would subscribe to it - but I did subscribe to you...)
