User guide

With a few simple steps, bring your NILSO world to life! 💛 Follow our step-by-step guide for a smooth application.

Preparing your wall

The wall must be clean, dry, smooth and dust-free. Remove dust and dirt with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Just repainted your wall? Wait at least 2 to 3 weeks for the paint to dry completely. For optimal adhesion, the surface temperature should ideally be between 15 and 25 °C.

Position your design

Unfold your sticker on a flat surface, then place it where you want it on the wall. Step back to check its position and orientation.

If needed, make light pencil marks or use masking tape as a guide. Check that the design is straight and that there's enough space from the edges of the wall and furniture.

Apply your sticker

For large designs, get some help! 

Gently peel off the backing paper bit by bit, then smooth the sticker from the centre outwards with a soft squeegee or a soft cloth.

Take your time and remove the backing little by little for a smooth application.

Removing air bubbles

If small bubbles appear, gently smooth them from the centre outwards with your finger or a soft cloth.

Go slowly and without pressing too hard so you don't stretch or damage the design. Very fine bubbles can sometimes disappear naturally over time.

Check surface compatibility

Adhesion may vary depending on the type of paint, the wall and the room conditions. On sensitive or textured surfaces, the sticker may not adhere as well. Paint may also come off when it is removed.

We recommend testing the sticker in an inconspicuous spot first. Avoid damp, crumbly or heavily textured surfaces. If in doubt, check that the surface is suitable before applying.

Removing your wall sticker

Fancy a change of décor? 💛 Gently peel off one corner of the sticker, then remove it slowly, keeping it close to the wall. If it resists, don't force it! You can try warming it slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Little tip: every wall is different. Depending on the paint, the surface and the age of the sticker, marks or damage may occur despite all your care.

Important notes

NILSO wall stickers are decorative items and not toys. They are not suitable for children under 3: small parts or pieces of film could be swallowed and pose a choking hazard.

Place the sticker out of reach of young children and do not use sharp or pointed objects to smooth it.

Adhesion may vary depending on the paint, the surface and the ambient conditions.
