FAQs

Yes! We designed our vinyl wall quotes for a stress-free DIY experience. Every order includes a free practice decal and a professional application tool so you can test your surface first. Plus, we offer a Success Guarantee—if you have any trouble during installation, take pictures and contact us so we can send you a free replacement.

Our professional-grade vinyl is designed to adhere beautifully to smooth and lightly textured surfaces, including:

  • Interior Walls: Painted drywall and plaster.
  • Painted Concrete Block: A favorite for schools, gyms, and hallways! Our decals adhere well to cinder block walls as long as they have several coats of high-quality paint applied.
  • Smooth Surfaces: Glass, mirrors, finished wood, metal, and even furniture.
  • Creative Spaces: Many customers use our decals on oversized plastic or wooden signs, store-front windows, doors, white boards, etc. for a custom look.

Important Note: For the best results, we recommend waiting at least 2 weeks before applying decals to freshly painted walls.

Try it before you apply it: Because we want you to be 100% confident, we include a free practice decal with every order. This allows you to test your specific surface before your final installation. If the practice decal doesn’t perform perfectly on your chosen wall, you can easily choose a different location or return the unused decal for a refund. Your satisfaction is our priority!

Not at all. We use premium, matte-finish vinyl specifically designed for home interiors. Our decals are 100% removable and won't leave behind a sticky residue or damage your paint, making them the perfect decor solution for both homeowners and renters.

Unlike mass-produced stickers, Simple Stencils are precision-cut with no background at all. Once applied, they feature only beautiful matte finish lettering that looks exactly like high-end, hand-painted art. There are no shiny plastic edges—only your beautiful quote or design. You can see our step-by-step installation guide to see how easy it is to achieve a professional, painted-on look!

We offer Free Shipping on all orders over $75 within the contiguous United States. Your handcrafted decals are typically produced and shipped within 1–3 business days.

Absolutely! While we have over 2500 designs, we love helping you tell your unique story. You can use our Online Design Tool to choose your own words, fonts, colors, and sizes for a truly personalized wall quote. Need help designing the perfect look? Contact our design team—we’re here to help!
