Size:?We recommend choosing smaller “kits” of decals to apply to the item.?You could have a theme, or multiple smaller decals.?This will make application of surface graphic easier.
?
Finish:?Decals come in gloss or matte.?By choosing decals with a matt finish, you will achieve a hand painted “mural” type look.?When choosing gloss you are looking for a statement.?Our preference is matt, but the great thing about decals- they promote individuality- so go for it and match your style.
?
Colour: The same principles of using colour in interior design apply to decal accessories.?Either choose neutral colours, complimenting colours that suit the rest of the colour scheme or contrasting colours if they work well with your d?cor.
?
??????????? Another consideration is that decals can look awesome in the SAME colour as the Ikea furniture item.?For example, if you have a white Ikea bookshelf.?Purchasing a decal in white gloss will contrast the texture and catch any available light in the room.
?
??????????? Similarly, if you have a shiny silver table, using a metallic silver designer decal on the surface will look absolutely amazing.
