When I first started planning my kids bedroom I had no idea what I wanted to do. I knew we needed to repaint because the striped walls from my son’s nursery just had to go. I wanted something bright, cheery, and gender neutral so that both my daughter and son would get enjoyment out of it.
Even before I had my son I always wanted some sort of wall art or mural in my children’s rooms. I would go to home shows or design/decor events and would oohh and aahh at the gorgeous murals done in fabulously decorated bedrooms. But, of course, we could never afford the hefty price tag that came along with the interior designer that designed the room and the artist that painted the murals.
So we searched for a great alternative.
I first became inspired to use decals in my kids room after seeing some adorable decals at my son’s gymnastics class. Simple monkeys hanging in a tree and clouds around the room. But when I got a closer look at the decals they used I was not impressed. The decals were bumpy, you could see where they met with each other, and the colors were simple and boring.
So when I saw My Wonderful Walls on my friend Jessica’s blog I knew I had to check them out to see what they offered. And boy was I happy that I did! Their selection of wall stickers cover everything from under water adventures to life on the farm.
I quickly was able to settle on the cute and animated Forest Friends wall stickers for my kids room. It was the perfect blend and definitely gender neutral (although the description states boy).
Not only are My Wonderful Walls decals super easy to use, they’re so versatile!
We started by painting the whole room in a few fresh coats of paint. If not starting with freshly painted walls please make sure to clean the walls very well to remove any debris and dirt from the walls.
Then we got to designing!
The decals proved to be very easy to remove from the backing and even easier to apply to the walls. Once I tested them out by applying the sun and clouds to the sky I let my son and daughter get in on the action as well.
I was pleasantly surprised to find how easy it was for them to help!
And I didn’t have to worry about where they placed the decals or if the decals folded over on themselves because I could easily remedy these situations. The decals were so easy to remove and reposition as needed until we got the right placement and fit for the room’s layout.
Once we were done and had applied all of the decals to the walls we sat back and looked at what we had created. My daughter was very excited to now share a room with so many friendly animals and started to wave and greet each new animal who appeared with a very happy hello.
She continues to greet the animals each day in the same fashion. Always pointing out her favorites. She even will overhear her brother talking about randomly wanting to hold frogs (because of a commercial or ad he saw) and she quickly runs to her little pond and points to the frog leaping out of the water. See, Brother, you can hold a frog!
My son made a few suggestions and changes to move a few items around and I happily obliged. I mean it is, after all, his room. Once he was happy with the layout we took a few pictures.

My Wonderful Walls not only offers amazing wall decals, they also offer wall stencils, wall murals, and canvas art as well. There are so many themes and designs to choose from that I’m sure you will find the perfect one for your home!
We are already planning on purchasing a few daffodils and blue birds for the playroom when we redesign it to give a little life to the walls. The price is affordable, the quality is excellent, and the customer service is stellar. And when/if we ever decide to build onto our home and have separate rooms for our children we’ll be coming back again to let them choose the wall art they want from My Wonderful Walls.
But hurry! This offer expires on 7/18

These look great. We have used decals before that have removed paint when we tried to reposition them. I’m glad to hear this brand does not do so.
I think these look so fun – wish they had been around when I was young! I also wonder if they would work on stained logs (we live in a small log cabin).
These stickers really bring a room to life! I love it!
You chose the perfect set for the room! I love how the decals add the perfect finishing touch to the room!
Looks like a really fun project for a newly renovated room with clean surfaces.
LOVE My Wonderful Walls! I just love the Forest Friends set you chose as well as the colors you chose for the walls! Their new room looks great! 🙂
