Blossom into Spring with Surface Graphics Wall Decals!
Posted by Kaitlin in Art and Design, Interior Design, Objects, Wall Decals on April 29th, 2010
Coming out of the frigid cold winter for what seemed to last for eternity, springtime often brings not only plenty of sunshine, but also ’spring cleaning’ accompanied by an interior re-fresh. Have you been looking around your house, office, apartment, or maybe even something as simple as your coffee table and thinking, ‘you know this could really use something more’? Well the answer is much closer than you may expect.
Surface Graphics has the perfect wall decals to boost your mood and your space into a trendy and illuminating area. All the decals from the Garden line will bring the spring and summer atmosphere from the outside… in. And, the best part is, once next fall comes around you can simply remove the decal and replace it with one that fits the contrasting environment.

Spring and summer are my favorite time of the year, the longer and much warmer days genuinely revive my mood. I chose to put the Loopy Flower in my bedroom, bringing a cool artsy garden into my room, and giving me the motivation I need to I wake up in the morning! Plus the green color matches perfectly.

The application is as easy as 1, 2, 3! First you must lay your wall decal down on a hard flat surface. Using the provided squeege, scrap across the decal to ensure that the decal is firmly pressed against the transfer sheet.
Second, carefully peel back the clear transfer sheet with the decal adhered to it, and the sticky side facing outward.
Third, place the decal in the desired place and position. Smooth over using the squeege, ensuring the removal of any air bubbles. Slowly peel away the transfer sheet parallel to the surface, leaving the decal on the desired surface.
