In the heart of Nelson, a remarkable transformation took place, illuminating the halls of the Children's Ward with creativity, compassion, and healing. At Your Decal Shop, we embarked on a journey that went beyond design; it was a mission to bring comfort, distraction, and solace to young patients and their families.
As seen in Stuff
How We Transformed the Space:
Using our expertise in decals, we turned the Children's Ward into a vibrant oasis. The power of distraction is immeasurable in healthcare settings. By adorning the walls with captivating decals, we created a world where children could escape the confines of their hospital beds and explore the wonders of the sea, right from their rooms. Each decal, meticulously crafted by us, became a portal to imagination, a source of joy amid medical challenges.
The Healing Power of Decals:
Decals are not just designs on walls; they are forms of distraction, conversations starters, and sources of hope. In the sterile environment of a hospital, our decals became windows to a world where fish swam freely, and Matariki stars lit up the night sky. They provided a sense of normalcy, a touch of the familiar in an otherwise unfamiliar setting. For young patients, they became friends, storytellers, and guardians of dreams.
How It Helps Patients and Families:
For patients, the decals offered a welcomed distraction, a chance to embark on adventures without leaving their rooms. For families, they provided moments of respite, a reminder that even in the midst of challenges, there is beauty and wonder to be found. Our designs transformed anxiety into curiosity, fear into wonder, and sterile walls into canvases of hope.
Why Choose Decals for Healthcare Spaces:
Decals offer a unique advantage in healthcare settings. They are cost-effective, non-intrusive, and easy to change, making them ideal for spaces that need frequent updates. Renovating hospitals and revamping healthcare environments no longer require extensive construction. With decals, the transformation is swift, hassle-free, and budget-friendly.
Our Commitment to Healing:
At Your Decal Shop, we believe in the power of design to heal. Our work extends beyond aesthetics; it's about creating environments where healing becomes a holistic experience. We understand the challenges healthcare spaces face, and our goal is to ease those challenges through thoughtful, engaging designs.
Conclusion:
The Nelson Children's Ward project stands as a testament to the transformative power of decals. It's a story of creativity, compassion, and the profound impact of design on healing. As we look back on this journey, we are reminded that sometimes, all it takes is a bit of artistry, a touch of imagination, and a heart full of compassion to make a difference.
In every decal we create, we infuse the essence of hope, the spirit of resilience, and the promise of brighter days. Let us bring this transformative touch to your healthcare space, and together, let's create spaces where healing is not just a process but a profound experience.

How do we make our hospital more welcoming?
How to give a hospital a makeover on a budget?
These are some of the many questions we receive from New Zealand hospitals and healthcare when it comes to decorating their space.
Don’t get us wrong, hospitals for children and adults need to be sterile and clean, but this aesthetic can also create an unwelcoming and cold environment which effects the mental health of patients and staff.
1) Wall decals take up no room as they are flush to the wall
2) Wall decals can be easily wiped clean and gather no dust like traditional canvases
3) They are an affordable option which creates a huge impact
The transformations and positive impacts from our wall art on the surrounding environments of hospitals have been a huge success. Distraction from the trauma for patients especially with our Tamariki and mental health departments are an atmosphere game changer.
Wall decals in hospitals relieve stress, they effectively bring a sense of tranquility to patient visits and create a positive atmosphere for staff.
Your Decal Shops wall decals are environmentally friendly, made with water-based inks and best of all they won’t damage your walls on removal. We do have the option for more durable material for those high traffic areas and waiting rooms.
Your Decal Shop has proudly worked with and revamped hospitals around New Zealand including Middlemore Hospital, Waitakere Hospital, Mid Central Children’s Ward (Palmerston North), Nelson Hospital, Wellington hospital maternity ward, Hawkes Bay hospital and more.
How does the process work?
So, you want to give your hospital/healthcare space a makeover but don’t know where to start? This is our process:

]]>Colour plays a major part in the correct reflection of your brand. This visually obvious yet subtle application has a significant impact on the way a brand is perceived by the public.
We consider colour psychology a lot when it comes to creating our wall decals and customising spaces. This is especially important when we design for commercial areas such as hospitals and healthcare as each colour will provoke different feelings that change the atmosphere. Done correctly, colour can completely transform an environment.
Blue: security, trust worthy, stability, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, trust, friendliness, preservation, courage, science.
Blue evokes the mind. Serene and calming, it is the colour of clarity and communication. Blue has been shown to be the most common favourite colour among the world’s population. It is seen as a sign of stability and reliability. That’s why Your Decal Shop logo is blue!
Green: wealth, money, Calming, trees, ambition, endurance, healing, calm, generosity, natural, completion, and protection.
The colour green is the easiest on our eyes because it requires no adjustment when it hits the retina. It’s therefore calming, restful, and pleasing. Sitting comfortably in the middle of the spectrum, green is the colour of balance. It represents nature and for this reason it’s a reassuring colour.
Red: energy, power, vigor, leadership, courage, passion, activity, joy.
Yellow: optimism, childish, freshness, law, education
Pink: romantic, feminine, love, beauty.
Orange: cheerful, passion, pleasure, enthusiasm, fascination, creativity, fun.
Black: powerful, mysterious, elegance, sophistication, functionality.
Black is the total absorption of all colour. It is a symbol of power. It is essentially the absence of light, which gives it its ominous overtones. Black is timeless and effortlessly stylish. It is the colour of sophistication.
If you considering decorating your space with wall decals or need help with your branding, reach out to us at info@yourdecalshop.co.nz, we’d love to chat.
]]>Don’t buy cheap imported Wall Decals! They will damage your wall or fall straight off them! These instructions are for quality Wall Decals like that ones we produce and we use high quality removable products with water-based inks.
Peel & Stick Wall Decals
Wait! Before you begin… Peel & Stick Wall Decals may be the easiest Decal application you’ve ever experienced! In fact, by following only 3 steps, you’ll have a stunning looking wall. Before you begin, it’s important to remember that decals work best with matte, eggshell, satin or semi-gloss paint finish and are not recommended on highly textured concrete, highly textured wallpaper, stucco or primer finishes. Now, let‘s get started shall we?
STEP 1
Give your wall a quick wipe down with a damp cloth to create a clean, smooth and dust free surface. If you have a wash’n’wear painted surface, get yourself a piece of light grit sandpaper and give your wall a quick go over. This will give the Decal grip to grab onto it. Make sure you wipe away the dust well. For freshly painted walls, allow 2 weeks for the paint to cure before attaching your Decal.
STEP 2
If your Decals are large (bigger than 40cm wide) use masking tape to hold the decal on the wall, step back and see how it looks where it is. Adjust as desired and take a photo! You can use this to look back on for positioning. Peel your Decal off the backing paper and stick it onto your wall. Press one edge of the Decal onto the surface and smooth your Decal from the middle to the outside with your hand. Repeat if your Decal has multiple parts. If there are bubbles, use your fingers to move them out or alternatively use a credit card.
Regular Decals with Application tape
These Decals are more detailed. They are not just one solid sticker but have been carefully cut out around the edges of the design and also possibly inside it. Why? So, when your Decal is on your wall, there will be no background colour which will allow your design to really show itself off. Thus, leaving only the surface colours of your wall as the background. This can look as if the Decal has been carefully drawn with high accuracy straight onto your wall! As these Decals have fine details, you can’t simply stick them straight onto your wall as your will get tangled in all the small parts. So, we add application tape on top of the Decal. This will allow you to apply the Decal smoothly in one go, then remove the application tape. Application tape is also used on text so you can apply entire paragraphs in a go without having to line up EVERY. SINGLE. LETTER! YAY!
STEP 1
Pre-clean your surface with a damp cloth and ensure the surface is dry before proceeding. Note: Allow 2 weeks for paint to cure before applying your Decal.
STEP 2
Decals are for one-time use, so take your time to choose the perfect spot. Tape the design to the surface with masking tape to make sure it’s exactly where you want it. Use a level if necessary.
STEP 3
Fold back the top of the design, begin peeling the white backing paper from the graphic and transfer tape at a 45° angle. If some of the Decal doesn’t come free, press it down again, and give it a quick rub over on the transfer tape side. Peel down the white backing paper about 20cm from the top.
STEP 4
Once the white backing is removed the adhesive is exposed, so be careful the design does not fold over onto itself. Press and fold the top of the white backing over (about 20cm from the top), and then rub the exposed section of the design onto the wall.
STEP 5
Continue to rub the remainder of the design onto the wall while peeling off the white backing. If you decal is large, ask a friend for help. Otherwise you should be able to manage the application in one step.
STEP 6
Now, start at a corner again, and slowly peel of roll the transfer tape away from the Decal at a 45° angle. Continue until the transfer tape is completely removed from the wall and graphic.
As the summer holidays draw to a close and as work starts to creep back into our well rested minds, it’s the ideal time to make over our offices and create an environment that is fun, focused and more productive than ever before.
Research suggests office environments play a significant role in fostering a culture that is solution-focused, uplifting and motivating. This includes comfy ergonomic furniture, correct lighting, a clean space, adequate storage, bringing nature indoors and, something we know all too well here at Your Decal Shop, decorating the walls that confine us every day.
Boring grey and bland white walls are completely out this year thanks to their much cooler cousin, colour therapy, which is taking off in the field of interior design. According to studies, certain colours can affect our moods and evoke key brain functions – the kind of functions we need for a successful year at work.
For example, blues and greens illicit calmness and productivity while hues of yellow encourage happiness and vibrancy.
With our vinyl wall decals, you can add colour to your walls while making an impressive statement and increase employee output.
The minor investment and significant return really is a no brainer.
Whether you are after something playful for the factory floor, practical for the boardroom or pleasantly surprising for reception, our range of wall murals has got you covered. Below are some of our favourite wall decal murals for offices, but if you have a particular image, photo or quote, send it to us and we’ll create a one just for you.
