How many wall decals should I plan for?
A simple guide to accurately estimate your needs
You’ve fallen for one of our designs, but you’re wondering: how many wall decals do I need to cover my wall?
It’s a question we get asked often — and the answer depends on several factors. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you to get a clearer idea.
It all depends on the effect you want to create
With the same amount of wall decals, you can cover very different areas. The more you space them out, the more surface area you'll cover. If you opt for an airy and minimalist style, a smaller set may be enough. But if you prefer a fuller look, you'll likely need a complete set.
With a reduced set
Here is an example featuring the reduced set of our Botanical Escape design.
With a complete set
You can easily observe the difference in effect within the same room, using the same wall sticker design, but with a complete set.
Coverage preview
Coverage may vary depending on the patterns you choose
For certain patterns, such as geometric shapes (e.g., circles), we provide an approximate coverage in square feet on the product page. This is easier to calculate because the elements are regular and can be arranged uniformly with a precise measurement between each.
However, for more organic patterns (animals, flowers, varied shapes), it’s more complex. We cannot provide an exact spacing between each item.
To remember: The closer you want the elements to be placed, the more stickers you will need to cover your wall.
Two formats to better suit your needs
Good news: we offer two formats on our website. The full set or the reduced set. This allows you to choose the quantity that best suits your project, without any waste.
The full set always contains twice the amount of a reduced set.
Pro tip
Before sticking your decals permanently, you can simulate their placement by roughly cutting them out with a margin around the design and temporarily taping them to the wall using painter’s tape. This lets you move them around freely until you find the perfect layout. Once you're happy with the arrangement, you can stick them on with confidence!
We hope these tips help you choose the right amount for your project.
