How Many Wall Decals Do You Need? A Simple Guide to Ordering the Right Amount

Transform Your Walls with the Perfect Amount of Decals

Wall decals are a fun and customizable way to add personality to your space. But when it comes to ordering, many people ask: How many decals do I actually need? You don’t want to run out mid-design, and you certainly don’t want extra packs collecting dust. This guide will help you determine the right quantity of wall decals so you can create your dream wall with confidence!

Understanding Wall Decals: You’re in Control!

Unlike wallpaper or pre-set murals, our wall decals are individual pieces, meaning you decide the placement. Want a sparse, airy design? You can spread them out. Prefer a dense, statement-making arrangement? Order more packs and cluster them together! The creative freedom is all yours.

To get the perfect look, we always recommend plotting your design before placing an order. This ensures you know how much you’ll need before making a commitment.

How Many Wall Decals Do You Need? Let’s Break It Down

The Standard Wall Size

We typically design one full order to fit a standard-size wall, which we consider to be 11 feet wide by 9 feet tall. Here’s a visual breakdown of how different order quantities can transform your space:

- One Pack: A light, airy look with plenty of open space.

- Two Packs: A more balanced and slightly denser effect.

- Three Packs: A fully filled, wallpaper-like look with little negative space.

The amount you order depends on the aesthetic you’re going for!

The dots are evenly spaced across the wall, creating a playful, minimalist pattern. The woman is dressed casually in a white top, a brown midi skirt, and sandals.

Plotting Your Design

Before clicking ‘add to cart,’ take a few minutes to plan:

- Use painter’s tape to mark where you want decals.

- Step back and visualize the density you prefer.

- If in doubt, start with one pack—you can always order more!

The Beauty of a Customizable Wall Design

Whether you want an organic scattered effect or a bold statement wall, you have total creative control. Plus, if you ever want to change things up, decals are easy to remove!
