What is a Wall Decal?
Wall Decals are decorative graphics designed to be applied directly to interior walls to add artwork, colour and personality.
What is a wall decal?
Wall decals are individual designs that are applied to walls to create feature
areas, decorate nurseries, personalise living spaces and enhance commercial
interiors.
Unlike wall murals which cover large areas, decals are made up of individual
elements or designs that you can place and style your way.
YDS Studio wall decals are designed and made in New Zealand and inspired
by Aotearoa's native birds, flora and landscapes.
