Choosing the right wall stickers for your nursery

With the wide variety of wall stickers that Eliza Doodle Designs has to offer choosing the right ones for your nursery can seem like a daunting task. However, by considering a few key factors, you can easily find the perfect wall stickers to complement your nursery's theme and create a cocooning space for your little one.

First and foremost, consider the theme or style you want to achieve in your nursery. Do you envision a serene woodland scene, a fairytale wonderland, or a vibrant and playful display? Have you seen a maximalist wallpaper that you would like to recreate? Are florals your thing, animals, dinosaurs, perhaps the ocean? By identifying the theme or style you want, you can narrow down your options and choose wall stickers that align with your vision.

Another important consideration is the size and placement of the wall stickers. Measure the wall space where you plan to apply the stickers and consider how they will fit within the overall design of the nursery. Large wall stickers can make a bold statement, while smaller ones can be used to create intricate patterns and recreate the look of wallpaper; or fill in smaller spaces or alcoves.

All of Eliza Doodle Designs wall stickers are made from PVC- free vinyl and all of our printed stickers are made with non solvent (ie non toxic) inks, making them safe to place in a baby's nursery.

By taking into account the theme, your design and colour preferences and size and placement, you can choose the perfect ones that will transform your nursery into a wonderful space. 

How to properly prepare the nursery walls for wall stickers

Before applying wall stickers to your nursery walls, it is a good ideas to properly prepare the surface to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity. By following a few simple steps, you can create a smooth and clean canvas for your wall stickers to adhere to.

You can start by wiping down the walls with a mild detergent and water solution. This will remove any dirt, dust, or grease that may prevent the stickers from sticking properly. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the walls, paying special attention to corners and edges.

Once the walls are clean, allow them to dry completely before applying the wall stickers. Moisture can interfere with the adhesive properties of the stickers, so ensuring the walls are completely dry is crucial.

Next, assess the condition of the walls. If there are any existing imperfections such as holes, cracks, or peeling paint, it is important to address them before applying the wall stickers. Fill any holes or cracks and sand down any uneven areas. If the paint is peeling, consider repainting the wall to create a smooth surface. If repainting use a standard matt emulsion paint. Paints that are washable or tough / wipeable do not allow the stickers to adhere and they will peel off the wall. 

All of our stickers come with full instructions, they are really simple to apply! Carefully peel off the backing of the sticker and apply it to the desired location on the wall. Smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles with a soft cloth or squeegee to ensure a seamless and professional-looking finish. If you have chosen stickers that have application tape attached be sure to follow our instructions to ensure an easy application! 

By properly preparing your nursery walls before applying wall stickers, you can ensure a smooth and long-lasting application that will transform your nursery in a few short hours.

Step-by-step guide on applying wall stickers

Applying wall stickers may seem like a daunting task, but with a step-by-step guide, it can be a simple and enjoyable process. By following these easy steps, you can ensure a seamless and professional-looking application that will transform your nursery into a whimsical and enchanting space for your little one.

Step 1: Gather your materials. Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials on hand. This includes the wall stickers, a soft cloth or squeegee, and a level to ensure accurate placement.

Step 2: Prepare the nursery walls. As mentioned earlier, it is advisable to prepare the walls before applying the wall stickers. 

Step 3: Optional: Plan the layout. Before applying the wall stickers, take some time to plan the layout and placement. Consider the overall design of the nursery and the desired arrangement of the stickers. However, many of our customers like to just get stuck in (excuse the pun!) and start sticking the stickers down without a plan, during the sticking take a step back, take a look, and then go again. If you have a confident eye this is just a good way to approach the sticking. 

Step 4: Peel off the backing. Carefully peel the wall stickers from the backing sheet. If the sticker has a wider part, always start peeling at the widest part of the sticker to avoid rips.

Step 5: Apply the stickers. Align the sticker with the desired location on the wall and gently press it onto the surface. Starting from the centre, use a soft cloth or squeegee to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles. Work your way from the center to the edges, ensuring a secure and seamless application.

Step 6: Check for alignment and adjust if necessary. If any adjustments are needed, gently peel off the sticker and reposition it as necessary.

Step 7: Smooth out any remaining air bubbles or wrinkles. Once the stickers are aligned and in place, go over them again with a soft cloth or squeegee to ensure a smooth and professional-looking finish. Pay special attention to the edges and corners to ensure they are securely adhered to the wall.

Step 8: Step back and admire your work. Once all the stickers are applied and smoothed out, take a step back and admire your handiwork. You have successfully decorated your new nursery!

By following this step-by-step guide, you can confidently apply wall stickers to your nursery walls and create a captivating space that will delight your child.

Creative ways to arrange and combine wall stickers

When it comes to using wall stickers in your nursery, the possibilities are endless. With their versatility and ease of application, you can create unique and captivating designs. Here are some creative ways to arrange and combine wall stickers to create a visually stunning and personalised nursery:

1. Mix and match themes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different themes to create a truly unique nursery. Combine woodland animals with flowers or space-themed stickers with geometric shapes. By combining different themes, you can create a nursery that is as unique as your child.

2. Create a border or frame: Use wall stickers to create a border or frame around the nursery walls. This is very popular with our stick on wall scallops, they usually top a half way colour block. This will add depth and visual interest to the nursery walls.

3. Create the look of wallpaper: By arranging the stickers in a repeating pattern, and right up to the edges of the wall and the ceiling you will create the look of wallpaper. When you stick the wall decal over the join between the wall and the ceiling, slice off the edges with a craft knife to make it look like trimmed wallpaper. 

4. Use stick on stencils to create a painted border such as scallops or waves. Our self adhesive stencils mean you can stick them along your wall, paint below them and remove the sticker to leave your perfect scalloped border. 

5. Play with scale and perspective: Use ocean stickers to create a calm water scene. Add on the extra large sea creatures to your pack to play with scale. 

6. Think carefully about colour: Choose your colours carefully, in keeping with the rest of your decor. We have over 25 colours of vinyl and endless possibilities with our printed stickers, there is a colour way for every decor trend and style. 

By thinking outside the box and experimenting with different arrangements and combinations, you can create a nursery that is visually stunning, personalised, and truly enchanting.

2. Check for choking hazards: Some wall stickers may have small parts or detachable elements that could pose a choking hazard for young children. Before applying the stickers, carefully inspect them and remove any small parts or detachable elements that could be easily swallowed. Additionally, make sure the stickers are securely adhered to the wall to prevent accidental peeling or falling.

3. Keep out of reach: Place wall stickers in areas that they can not be reached and peeled off the wall.
