Let’s face it—few people these days have the opportunity to own a home when they first move out of their parents’ house. We all have that awkward transitional phase of living in a dormitory or an apartment—somewhere we can’t completely call our own.

These are exciting times, but they offer challenges when it comes to feeling “at home” somewhere that you know you’ll move out of in a year or two. Some places may not even allow you to hang up your favorite pictures if it involves nails, thumbtacks, or any kind of damage to the wall. Searching out alternatives to help you claim a space and bend to meet all these rules can be both annoying and expensive.

According to the National Multifamily Housing Council, at any given time, 34% of US residents live in a rental situation, be it a house, apartment, or other leased arrangement. That’s over a hundred million people. That’s also a whole lot of awkward transitional decorating.

Fortunately, whether it be elegance you have in mind, a playful nursery for a child, fandom paraphernalia, or anything else you can envision on your walls, there is a solution for any living situation: our custom decals!

How do decals make an apartment hopper’s life easier? To start, all decals are self-adhering. No damage to your walls. No nails or tacks, screws or bolts. They are also removable, which is necessary for apartment situations when leasing offices charge you for any evidence left behind of your stay on their property.

Decals are a great alternative to painting walls, which some apartments offer at inflated prices prior to move-in. A decal can come in any color, shape, or size you can imagine. Application isn’t a sticky, staining affair, and isn’t nearly as permanent—no anxiety over missing corners or dropping blobs on the carpet. It will look good until the day you pull it down, and then it will be like it was never there at all.

The sky is truly the limit with a custom decal. Guaranteed quality and artistry shipped right to your door!
