Dezign with a Z! Removable Art for Your Walls

Win a $30 Dezign with a Z Gift Certificate!


   Everyone who has ever lived in an apartment has been faced with the dilemma of how to make that apartment feel like home when you are restricted in the amount of decorating you can do as far as painting and wall papering. That is why I love using wall decals, wall stickers and other removable wall art.  They are the perfect way to give your apartment that personal touch that makes it your home,  And since they are removable, you don’t have to worry about losing your security deposit once you move!
    I recently came across a wonderful, reputable site called Dezign with a Z that has a huge selection of removable vinyl wall decals that are not only high quality, but are very reasonably priced as well!   They offer a wide selection of wall decals, wall stickers and even full-sized murals.  They have decals from ever genre imaginable including sports, nature, trees, floral art, animals, music, urban, characters and more.  They have cool decals specifically for kids rooms including glow-in-the dark decals and ‘writables’, and they even offer custom wall decals where you can send in your own artwork and have it made into a decal or mural! 
   I was given the opportunity to review an item, so I chose one of their tree wall decals.  The main theme running through out our apartment is Asian, so when I saw the Bird Branches Asian wall stickers, I knew that would be the perfect piece for our hallway leading from the den to the bedrooms.



   Like many of Dezign with a Z’s decals, Bird Branches is highly customizable in that it is available in three different sizes, and you can choose the colors you want for the entire piece.  There is even a program on the site that allows you to choose your wall color, then adjust the decal’s colors so you can see how it will look in a variety of selections.  For example, with Bird Branches, I had the opportunity to choose not only the color of the branches, but the color of the blooms as well.  I was amazed with the number of color choices available!
  Detailed instructions, a couple of practice decals and a squeegee to help smooth out any bubbles were all included with the decal to make application a cinch!  Like many Dezign with a Z decals, Bird Branches is a removable vinyl decal so it won’t damage the walls when it is time to remove.

   The first step was to spread it out on a flat surface and rub firmly over the entire decal with the squeegee in order to strengthen the bond between the decal and the transfer tape.

   Then I removed the decal from the white backing a little bit to make sure the decal was sticking properly to the tape.

  Next I placed the decal where I wanted it on the wall and smoothed the top edge onto the wall to make it stick. I then peeled off the white backing starting at the top and pulling downwards towards the bottom, smoothing with my hand as I went.  I continued this all the way down until the entire decal was attached to the wall.  I then went back over it with the squeegee to make sure there were no air bubbles or wrinkles.




  Then I slowly began removing the transfer tape starting at a top corner and slowly pulling it down.  I had no problems with the decal remaining on the transfer tape, but if this does happen, simply roll it back up, repress firmly against the wall, then began peeling it off again.


  Finally I took a clean, smooth cloth and went over the entire decal, pressing firmly, to further remove any air bubbles.

   Now it was time to add the blooms!  I simply pulled them off the sheet one at a time, and put them on the decal where I wanted them to go.



  Voila!  Instant improvement!  The decal looks so good, it’s almost as though an artist came in and painted it on the wall!


My Verdict
  I love it!  Now, instead of a boring blank wall, I have a pretty piece of artwork that adds color and character to my home.  This is one of the best decals I have used in that the vinyl is very easy to work with and is extremely durable.  The colors look exactly as they did on the site, and are bright and bold.  I definitely recommend Dezign with a Z vinyl decals to anyone looking to add a bit of flair to their home. Dezign with a Z decals are an inexpensive and simple way to decorate your apartment, condo, dorm or house and make it into your home!
