If your wall is smooth, clean, fully dry, and painted with standard interior paint, you’re very likely good to go.

• Smooth surface (no texture)
• Paint is solid (not chalky, not flaking)
• Wall is dry (not humid/steamy)
• Paint is at least 30 days old
  
  If you ticked all → You’re good.

Some paints are designed to repel moisture or stains, which can reduce adhesion:

• Washable / scrubbable / stain-resistant
• Bathroom / anti-mould / moisture-blocking
• Very matte / chalky finishes

• Textured walls (orange peel, heavy roller texture, bumps/ridges)
• Flaking, cracked, dusty, or powdery paint
• Damp/humid walls or areas that stay steamy (e.g., right next to showers)

1. Clean the Surface: Wipe down with a dry cloth (no chemicals!) to remove dust.
2. Wait 30 Days: If you’ve just painted, let the gas escape so the adhesive stays strong.
3. Test First: Always test a small corner before applying the full decal.

Please note: all walls are different. We can’t guarantee adhesion on every paint type or be responsible for paint damage. Please patch test first and follow prep instructions. See our [FAQ] for removal tips. Refunds/replacements aren’t available for issues caused by incompatible paint/surfaces or incorrect preparation/application.
