Anyone Used Wall Transfers
23 Answers
I'm starting to re-think the wallpaper thing mainly because I'll have to pay someone to do it and then the extra hassle of removing it whenever I move out so I've been looking at wall transfers, like this sort of thing.

Has anyone else used these? Are they easy to apply and do they look good?

Yes, and they're brilliant!
My son's room has a HUGE Super Mario on the wall!
You can either get them as stickers, which you literally just peel off and stick to the walls, or decals, which are a bit trickier but have a better finish.
If you go down the sticker option, then be sure to make sure the wall is super-clean beforehand and have a sponge at the ready to get rid of any bubbles.
With the decals, you peel off a backing paper, put it where you want it (if it's large you'll need to use some masking tape to hold it there) and then use something like a credit card to rub over the design and transfer it onto the wall.
The first one I did I screwed it up completely and it had to go in the bin. Just make sure you thoroughly rub over every area, or as you pull the paper off, some it will still be stuck and will rip away from the stuff that's transferred onto the wall.
Hope that makes sense! :-)

There used to be patterned paint-rollers. Don't know if you can still get them, but they used to work like this :
Paint the wall with background colour, then run the roller up in even stripes in a different colour. You could get patterns of all sorts of things - abstracts, flowers, geometrics, etc. Looks quite like wallpaper. Then when you get tired of the pattern, ( or have to give the flat back ) just paint over it all.
