Not Sure How Many Wall Decals to Order? Here’s Your Step-by-Step Guide

Get the Perfect Look with the Right Number of Wall Decals

Wall decals are a fantastic way to add personality and style to your space. But one of the biggest questions people ask is: How many decal packs do I need? Ordering too few can leave your design looking incomplete, while too many could mean unnecessary extras. This guide will help you determine the ideal quantity of wall decals for your project so you can achieve the perfect look with confidence!

Recommended Spacing – Suggests placing decals 8 to 12 inches apart, adjusting based on wall and decal size, and staggering rows for a mural-like effect.  Pro Tips – Advice includes using painter’s tape to test placement, avoiding hidden spots behind furniture, stepping back to check alignment, and remembering decals are repositionable.

Why Wall Decals Give You Full Creative Control

Unlike pre-designed wallpapers or murals, wall decals come as individual pieces, allowing you to decide exactly how to arrange them. Want a light, scattered effect? Space them out. Prefer a bold, clustered look? Use more packs to create a denser design. The flexibility is entirely in your hands!

To ensure you order the right amount, we highly recommend mapping out your design before making a purchase. This will help you visualize your wall’s final look and avoid any surprises.

How to Determine the Right Quantity of Wall Decals

Standard Wall Measurements

We typically design a full order to fit a standard wall size of 11 feet wide by 9 feet tall. Here’s a general breakdown of what different order quantities will achieve:

- One Pack: A subtle, airy design with lots of negative space.

- Two Packs: A balanced and cohesive look that’s neither too sparse nor too crowded.

- Three Packs: A bold, nearly wallpaper-like effect with full coverage.

Your design preference will ultimately determine how many packs you should order!

The dots are evenly spaced across the wall, creating a playful, minimalist pattern. The woman is dressed casually in a white top, a brown midi skirt, and sandals.

Plan Your Layout Before Ordering

Before making a purchase, take a moment to plan your layout:

- Use painter’s tape to outline where you want decals.

- Step back and assess whether you want a denser or more spaced-out design.

If you’re unsure, start with one pack—you can always order more later!

Easy Installation for a Seamless Look

One of the biggest advantages of wall decals is their simple application. Since you’re in control of placement, you can customize your design effortlessly. Be sure to check out our installation guide for tips on making the process smooth and stress-free!

Why Custom Wall Decals Are a Great Choice

Wall decals allow you to create a look that’s uniquely yours. Unlike traditional wallpapers that come with fixed designs, decals give you full flexibility in terms of spacing, layout, and coverage. Whether you prefer a minimalist touch or an eye-catching statement wall, you have the freedom to design it exactly how you like. Plus, decals are easy to remove if you ever want to change up your space!

How Many Packs Should You Buy? Styling Tips to Help You Decide

- Balanced & Stylish: 2 packs (even distribution, well-spaced design)

- Full & Bold Statement: 3+ packs (dense coverage for a striking effect)

- Kid’s Room or Playroom: Consider multiple packs for playful designs on multiple walls or even the ceiling!
