People Magazine Feature: Inside Kayla & Ryan Lochte's Nursery
Kayla Reid Lochte and her husband, former Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, have been anxiously awaiting the birth of their second child and first daughter, Liv Rae Lochte! After having a boy, there’s something so special for a mama when she gets to dive into all the girly clothes and décor items. Passionate about interior design, Kayla had a specific vision for her daughter’s nursery. She knew she wanted to use pink with splashes of neutrals and creams to offset the design. You can imagine how excited we were when she came to us and purchased our Ophelia Mural to use as the centerpiece for her daughter’s room—the perfect backdrop to their pink chrome crib! Kayla’s finished design was so unbelievably gorgeous that the nursery was recently featured in People magazine. Kayla & Ryan, thank you for choosing Urbanwalls to decorate your sweet girl’s nursery!

Irregular Dots - Two Ways
No matter what style you choose, you can’t go wrong! The Irregular Dot decals come on a sheet—think giant sticker sheet, like when you were a kid. Once you’ve picked the destination for your dots, just peel and stick! And because the dots themselves are irregular, the spacing doesn’t have to be perfect (unless you really want it to be). On that note, the dots are actually easy to peel off and reposition where you like!

How to Install Wall Decals: An Easy Step-by-Step Guide
How to Install Wall Decals (The Easy Way) If you’ve never installed wall decals before, the process is much simpler than you might expect. Whether you’re decorating a nursery, girls room, or adding a soft floral detail to your space, removable wall decals are designed to be easy, flexible, and forgiving. This step-by-step guide will walk you through exactly how to install them for a clean, professional-looking finish. Step 1: Cut Your Wall Decals Before you begin, start by cutting around each decal. You don’t need to cut perfectly along the edge, leaving a small margin is completely fine and actually makes the process easier. This allows you to work with each piece individually and gives you more flexibility when placing your design. Step 2: Plan Your Layout First Before peeling anything, map out your design. Use painter’s tape or masking tape to lightly secure each decal to the wall in your desired arrangement. This step is key. It allows you to: Adjust spacing Layer florals and leaves naturally Create a balanced, flowing design Taking a few extra minutes here ensures your final layout looks exactly how you want it. Step 3: Stick Your Decals Once you’re happy with the layout, it’s time to apply. Peel the backing and press the decal onto the wall, smoothing as you go. After the decal is adhered, remove the transfer layer on the front to reveal the finished design. Work slowly and press firmly to ensure everything sticks cleanly. Pro Tip: Take a Reference Photo Before applying your decals, take a quick photo of your layout. If anything shifts during installation, you’ll have a reference to guide you back to your original design. Why Floral Wall Decals Are So Popular One of the reasons floral wall decals are so popular in nurseries and girls rooms is because they’re both beautiful and flexible. You can: Layer florals and leaves for a full, dimensional look Space them out for something light and minimal Adjust the design over time as your space evolves This makes them perfect for growing spaces where you want both style and flexibility.

Peel and Stick Wall Murals for Weddings, Events, and Beyond
More Than Wallpaper: Creative Ways to Use Wall Murals When most people think of wallpaper, they think walls. But one of the biggest advantages of peel and stick wall murals and wallpaper is that they don’t have to stay there. At Urbanwalls, we love seeing our designs used in unexpected ways, and one of our favorite projects brought that idea to life in a completely different setting: a wedding. A Floral Wall Mural Used in a Wedding Design This styled shoot, featured in Real Weddings, transformed our Primrose design into something far beyond traditional wall decor. Instead of installing it on a wall, the design was used: As a statement backdrop behind a stylized bar As a completely original aisle runner The result was soft, romantic, and completely unique. This is where floral wall murals and wallpaper start to feel more like design tools than just decor. Why Peel and Stick Wall Murals Work for Events Traditional materials can be limiting when designing for events. With peel and stick wall murals, you get: Easy installation and removal No damage to floors, walls, or surfaces Flexibility for temporary setups A high-end look without custom fabrication This makes them ideal not just for homes, but for: Weddings Event backdrops Retail installations Photoshoots Wallpaper vs Wall Mural: What’s the Difference? If you’re deciding between wallpaper and a wall mural, it comes down to how you want the design to appear. Wallpaper (like our Primrose Wallpaper) repeats in a pattern and is ideal for full-room coverage or consistent designs Wall murals (like our Primrose Wall Mural) create a larger-scale, more organic scene across the wall For this project, the flexibility of the design allowed it to work beautifully in both formats. 👉 Shop the Primrose Wall Mural here:https://uwdecals.com/products/primrose-wall-mural 👉 Shop the Primrose Wallpaper here:https://uwdecals.com/products/primrose-wallpaper The Primrose Design: A Soft, Floral Statement The Primrose design features cascading, hand-painted florals in soft neutrals with hints of blush and green. The delicate linework keeps the look light and airy, while still adding enough detail to feel elevated and intentional. As Real Weddings described it: “The clean line drawings help to maintain a dainty look throughout the design, while also feeling modern and minimalist.” It’s a perfect example of how a floral wall mural can feel both classic and contemporary at the same time. See It in Your Own Space While this project was created for an event, the same design works beautifully in everyday spaces. You can preview how this peel and stick wall mural will look in your home using our visualizer tool. 👉 Try the wall visualizer here: Wall Visualizer This helps you explore placement, scale, and layout before ordering.
