Design Ideas: Architectural Detail, Accents, Unique Projects, Colors, Installation Tips, Application Instructions
As architectural detail, to improve furnishings you have without risk of ruining them:
- Use instead of traditional wooden furnishings, such as a headboard or dresser mirror.
- Use on door panels, cabinets, and furniture to make them look more detailed. Use instead of chair rail, wainscoting, and molding. Embellish existing moldings and paint treatments with decals of accent colors to give the illusion of more detail or more ornate.
- Use inside shelves to create dimension and design in an unexpected place.

Application Instructions:
Our graphics are so easy to put up, anyone can do it. But beware some of the fancier designs can be tricky if you don't follow the instructions. So read on for a successful project.
Please make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying decals. Do not install in temperature below 50 degrees or higher than 95 degrees.
- Choose the look you want to achieve with your graphics. Cut apart individual graphics.
- Before removing any backing, use scotch tape to place the graphics on the wall/surface where you want them.
- As you take the graphics off to prepare to place them permanently, use the spacer dots as placeholders for your graphics placement on the wall/surface.
- To remove the white backing from the graphic: Lay the graphic face down on a level surface. Peel backing away from graphic, making sure the graphic stays adhered to the clear liner. For intricate areas of the graphic: Use the applicator tool to hold down the graphic while the backing is removed.
- Apply graphic with clear liner onto wall/surface. Smooth entire surface of graphic to wall, using your applicator tool, working from the middle outward, to smooth out bubbles.
- To remove clear liner from wall/graphic: Slowly peel the liner downward off of the wall/graphic. For intricate designs, use the applicator to hold the graphic in place while peeling away the liner.
Repeat directions for each decal. And you're done!
Note: Modern Wall Graphics have been tested on and successfully removed from many surfaces. Due to the variety of surfaces, we cannot guarantee that our decals will adhere to all surfaces. Please follow our guidelines for installation and have fun with them!
