DIY: Wall Decals Give the Hand Painted Look at the Right Price
Posted by Kaitlin in Interior Design, Kids Wall Decals, Wall Decals on March 2nd, 2010
Why pay high prices for hand painted work, when you can get the same effect for a fraction of the cost? Who says you can’t spark some creativity and “Do It Yourself”?
At Surface Graphics we offer a great deal of exceptionally detailed and unique wall decals. Whether you are looking to provide warmth to a child’s room or adding a modern twist to your office space, we have a range of wall decals to match any taste. Our ultra thin vinyl gives our decals the painted on look that is trendy, affordable, and can be instantly removable.
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.
Et voila…
Makeover any surface in your house, office, apartment, dorm etc. using Surface Graphics wall decals. Visit our Facebook and Twitter pages to take advantage of this week’s special promotion. And don’t forget to go to the Surface Graphics website to see all the wall decals we offer!

Surface Graphics is Popping Out in Prague
Our unique and edgy wall decals are catching the attention of consumers across the world, and are traveling abroad more and more each day it seems. This time we have landed in the Czech Republic, in a very modern and retro boutique, Escape Be Popout.
They provide an unmatched display of wall decals mixed with furniture, wall hangings, and chic home decor that creates fascinating eye illusions. The designers have used the stylish and trendy wall decals from Surface Graphics to expand on their vision of escaping from the ordinary world which they have created in the store. We are pleased to be an addition to what Escape Be Popout has to offer.
Surface Wall Decals Now At Hot Shop, Maison24
From virtual to reality, Surface Graphics’ Wall Decals make a real-life retail foray at one of Southampton’s favorite stores, Maison 24. After having devoted the last 18 months to building the e-commerce store, our wall decals are getting a smidgen closer to the third dimension after being picked up by the sibling duo of Allison Julius and Louis Marra, owners of Maison 24. The sister-brother team — late of Jonathan Adler (she as PR Director and he as VP) — left New York to set up their home furnishings shop in the picturesque hamlet of Bridgehampton last year.
Known for their whimsical sensibilities, the store is filled with an eclectic mix of acrylic Louis chairs, life size Belle du Jour posters, Fornasetti pieces, and Taschen coffee table tomes that set the backdrop for wall decal favorites from our script-centric Talking Walls and city dweller-inspired Urban Jungle lines.
One recent customer at the shop raved, “They look so real! And the details are so good – - they look like they’re painted on the wall.”
A handwritten “Je t’aime” wall decal sits in the middle of a romantic-centric section of the shop, peppered with pouty lips sculptures and prints of the iconic Love pop art sculpture…
DesignPhiladelphia 2009
We had a great event last night in partnership with Design Within Reach’s Philadelphia Studio (www.dwr.com) for DesignPhiladelphia 2009. Philly area designers created original wall decals showcasing both established and emerging design talent within the region. Five designs were chosen for display in the DWR Studio, one winning design was selected by vote and will be sold online with all proceeds benefiting Philadelphia Charter High School for Architecture + Design.
The decal will be available for sale soon!
The five finalists designs:
Cat and Mice Series by Anita Yan Wong
Mobile by Ute Kraidy
Mouse by Ute Kraidy
No Light by Ian Altares
Birds and Rainbow by Sara Petrous
Top designs were selected based on originality, ability to develop as decals and alignment with the enduring principles of modernism. The designs were installed during Design Philadelphia and studio visitors voted on their favorites. The winning design was announced last night: Cat and Mice Series by Anita Yan Wong
The event was very well attended including teachers and students from CHAD and a few universities in the area with graphic and industrial design programs. We were also excited to meet some of the designers themselves.
Many thanks to Kristen and Gerard at DWR and Heather and Courtney at CHAD for being involved and making this event a great success!
Wall Decal Decision Time
Posted by admin in Wall Decals on July 1st, 2009
Are you looking for a wall decal but not sure how to choose the perfect design? It can be difficult to choose a wall decal today as the choices are plenty and we only have so many surfaces to cover. I recommend that you consider four items if you are struggling to make a decision:
1) Area
2) Utility
3) Design
4) Color
What area are you planning to fill?
Is the space square, tall and rectangular or long and wide? Are you looking for a wall decal to sit above furniture, like a couch or table, or will your decal fill an entire wall? This will help you choose the size or configuration of the decal. For example, if you plan to fill an entire wall, perhaps you will choose a decal that comes in many pieces, like the Pebbles, or My Way (pictured right) designs that can be applied in an infinite number of designs. If you have a smaller space to dress, above your couch for instance, you may choose a more simple design like the New York City Skyline or The Roses. A tall narrow space may call for a larger wall decal like The Gentleman or Electric Wire. The idea here is to first plan out the space you want to fill and the amount of coverage you are looking for.
