“These decals are superior quality! Very easy to apply (I used a laser level to make every wave straight). They are a perfect idea for an accent wall without using wallpaper.”

Liane • Schwenksville, PA

This serene nursery proves that less is more when it comes to coastal cool. Our Waves Peel-and-Stick Decals add soft movement and texture to the pale blue walls, creating a sea-breeze effect... you can almost feel the fresh air when you step into the space. We love the modern mix of nautical décor (that paddle is perfect!) paired with crisp lines and soft patterns. And how about that checkerboard rug? Instant classic.


Thank you for sharing, Liane—wishing you and your little one many peaceful, joy-filled moments in your beautiful sea-kissed space.

"I am beyond obsessed with how these turned out in our nursery. These decals are such amazing quality! They were so easy to put on our wall even with a slightly textured wall. When people come over and see our nursery, they ask if we hand painted them. I highly recommend!"

Ali • Maple Valley, WA

With its muted tones and watercolor geese, this nursery feels like the start of a very sweet story. Our Geese Peel-and-Stick Wall Decal Kit blends the charm of classic children's illustration with a modern twist in the most delightful way. Every detail of this room feels intentional—from the deep sage green paneling to the elegant arched crib and creamy textures. And when we hear that guests think the decals are hand-painted, we just want to jump for joy ... or maybe waddle for wow-ness is the better phrase in this case. ;-)


Thank you Ali. Wishing you many cozy bedtime stories in this happy space.

“So cute & easy to use! These carrots were PERFECT for my bunny room! Easy to apply. A friend of mine even asked if they were hand-painted because of how realistic they look.


Blanca & Pogo love their new accent wall!” 🐰🐰🥕🥕


Nicole • Memphis, TN


Two cute bunnies eating lettuce in their bunny bungalow decorated with carrots removable fabric wall decals

What’s up, Doc? Only the prettiest bunny suite we ever did see! This bright hideaway stars our Carrots Peel-and-Stick Wall Decals, which are—according to friends of the bunnies—practically indistinguishable from hand-painted wallpaper. Plus, the carrotcore vibe makes the perfect backdrop for two beautiful custom portraits. (We love those.) Blanca and Pogo are clearly living the good life—and we’re totally here for it.


Thank you, Nicole! Say hi to Blanca and Pogo from us—and when they are ready for a room refresh, tell them to hop over to the new Farmers Market Collection. It just might feature some of their favorite delicacies! ☺

“Absolutely adorable! My son loves all his trucks on his wall. Excellent quality and easy to remove if you need to adjust the placement.”

Brittany • Seward, NE

Everything about this nursery makes our hearts do a little happy dance—especially because we have a truck-lover in the Mej Mej family, too! When we designed our Away We Go collection, we knew it had to delight the kids who know every vehicle by name as well as the parents who want a space that feels calm, modern, and beautifully styled.


We love the way Brittany paired our Medium Construction Kit with soft, neutral tones that complement the room’s bold navy and warm ivory walls. This room celebrates a beloved theme, reimagined with a fresh, elevated twist.


Thank you, Brittany. We hope your little engineer has fun naming every truck as he drifts off to sleep.

“I ordered a few of these decals for my son’s room and they are SO cute and well designed. They are amazing in person.”

Lindsay • Pickerington, OH

This dino-mite setup is everything a little adventurer could ask for. Lindsay designed her playroom with four of our large dino kits to bring this awesome space to life. Our FrankTheoRalph & George dinosaur decal kits blend effortlessly with the deep green wall and matching dino bedding. The color blocking between the green and white walls gives it a Jurassic Park-meets-design-blog vibe—and we love that.


Thank you for sharing Lindsay and we hope you enjoy reading the stories on the walls to your little dino-lover.

These letters are worth every single penny! The quality is incredible, the shipping was insanely fast and they were so easy to install. Our walls are textured and I was a little concerned they might not stick but they are perfect! Our daughter is obsessed with them in her playroom! Cannot recommend enough!

Keeleigh • Benton, AR

This cozy, colorful nook makes us want to sit criss-cross-applesauce and start spelling. Our Uppercase and Lowercase Rainbow Alphabet decals add just the perfect pop of color to this cozy and very well-organized space. We love how the woven bins, neutral palette, and educational play table turn a quiet corner into a vibrant little classroom. And best of all: one very happy little learner!


Thank you Keeleigh! We hope your little gal enjoys every minute of playing and learning in this beautiful space.
