How Long Will My Decal Last?

Simple Stencils will last almost indefinitely when placed in an interior environment. They do work in bathrooms and other humid environments so long as the surface is non-porous. They can also be used outdoors, however their lifespan will depend on how much exposure to sunlight and rain it has. Regardless... think years!

Wall Decal Color Options

We offer over 60 beautiful matte finish wall decal colors to choose from. Unsure? Order color samples here.

Can I move my decal?

Our decals are meant for a one-time application. Once it is removed, it's difficult to place the decal in a new location without the top layer that keeps everything spaced and aligned, as it is during the first application. If you would like to order a duplicate of a previous purchase for placement in a new location, contact us with your previous order number for a special discount code.

Our sizes are shown in inches and the measurements are given as the overall size of the decal (width x height).

Great look, easy to use, durable product.

Searched many sites for our needs and were not disappointed. We got the size (very large), style (needed several lines balanced) and type (several to chose from) done well. Came back to correct our typo and staff helped find the lost receipt to match things up. Great customer service. Will reuse and recommend.

Loved working with them!

The simple stencil team was amazing to work with. My decal was 5’x10’. It looks amazing on the wall. It was nerve racking to install it because of the fear of not wanting to ruin it. But it was no big deal once done. I just followed their instructions and took my time and it was a great success! Love it and have gotten so many compliments on it!

The product itself is quality.

The purchase of our wall decal couldn’t have been easier. The sizes to select from were easy to choose from and the purchase process was so simple. You kept me in the loop all along the way and the product arrived quickly. It was packaged well and arrived with zero damage. We appreciated the easy to follow guide and tips that you included in the order. Thank you. So glad I found you on Pinterest!!

I'm in love with my room now!

It was a long process to get those little serif edges on there, but I was SO worth it! I LOVE my walls now. It brings me joy every time I walk into my room. Jennifer was AMAZING with the process of selection (and very patient)! Decals are high quality, and the ability to customize the colors makes the finished result even more gratifying. Thank you!

Very happy with how it looks!

This was my first time to order from this company. I ordered two stencils and one of them came with the colors reversed from how I ordered it. They were quick to replace it. Both of them look great on the wall. Both were 36" wide and it was much easier having a second person help with the application.
