It’s back-to-school season, and we’re celebrating the amazing educators who make learning spaces shine. Here’s a peek at a few REAL rooms shared with us, where creativity is part of the lesson plan.
“These are so cute! Perfect decals to liven up a blank wall in my art classroom. I love the texture and how they're matte too.”
Amy N ~ Hampstead, NC
A Happy Art Room in Hampstead
Amy’s watercolor dots wall decals turn this Hampstead art room wall into pure joy. And, that brilliant paintbrush clock? Yes, please — it’s officially on our studio DIY-To-Do list. Thank you for adding your color to our color, Amy, and for inspiring your budding new artists every day.
Our watercolor fabric wall decals have found their way into classrooms, clinics, and libraries around the world, and each kit has been transformed by the teacher’s touch. From rainbow clock art to whales that welcome, these spaces remind us how much joy and personality educators bring to their walls and to their students’ days.
Here are 6 more fun classroom spaces and the 5-star reviews that teachers and clinicians have shared about their experiences with their wall decal installations. We hope you enjoy being inspired by them as much as we are. And best wishes as you embark on your next back-to-school classroom decor journey.
"I've ordered several wall decals from MejMej and I LOVE! I have also ordered wall stickers from other sellers and Mej Mej has been my favorite so far! I used these stickers to decorate our pediatric speech therapy clinic and the kids/parents also love and comment on them often, such an improvement! Super quality! I love the fabric texture and application is as easy as peeling it off the backing and sticking it on the wall. Easy to adjust on wall if needed."
Kendra H ~ Brush Prairie, WA
A Colorful Clinic in Washington
This cheerful hallway makes every trip to speech therapy feel like a storybook stroll. With a penguin pedaling and friends cheering under a sky of stars, Kendra’s clinic entryway welcomes her little patients with joy. We love how the wall decals, from the Hello There collection, turn a simple white wall into a scene that sparks imagination at every visit. Thank you, Kendra, for sharing this happy and caring space.
"Absolutely love this whale! Perfect for my speech therapy clinic. Easy to put up and very nice quality. Worth the price."
Stefanie H - Rockton, IL
A Whale of a Welcome in Rockton, IL
In Stefanie’s speech therapy room, Warrick, the Giant Whale swims across the wall to greet every new arrival. Paired with soft waves and an ocean of bright, colorful fish, this space feels safe, welcoming, and full of possibility. Thank you, Stefanie, for letting us see your wonderful sea of learning.
"Love this- perfect in my classroom. x"
Nicola C ~ Redhill,
United Kingdom
Feathered Friends Fly to the UK
In Redhill, England, these graceful woodpecker wall decals have landed on a fresh green backdrop, right above a row of neatly stacked notebook holders. It’s a clever use of space that adds a pop of nature and color without taking up any precious classroom real estate — a win for both style and function. Thank you, Nicola, for inviting us into your lovely learning space.
I ordered the uppercase and lowercase letters for my classroom. Love them! I wasn't sure if they would stick to cinder block walls, but the seller sent samples to make sure they would work. They have been up for over a month without any issues! Highly recommend this shop!
Vanessa H ~ Vienna, WV
Back-To-School Classroom Decor in Vienna, WV
Vanessa turned her classroom into a rainbow of letters with our uppercase and lowercase wall decal set... proof that learning your ABCs can be beautiful. Lined up above a tidy row of book bins, these colorful letters are both wall art and a daily teaching tool. Thank you for sharing Vanessa, and happy reading to your newest learners.
"These look so cute in my preschool classroom and the children love them! Great quality and the customer service was wonderful! 💕💕
Sarah C ~ Clarksville, TN
A Pint-Sized Village in Clarksville, tn
The Village Wall Decal Kit from our Rooftop collection couldn’t have found a better home. Sarah lined the colorful row of houses right along the baseboard... placed perfectly at eye-level for her little learners. Every tiny student gets a front-row seat to this cheerful village each day. Thank you, Sarah, for letting us visit your cozy classroom neighborhood.
AND A GOLD STAR FOR MRS. STANLEY
"Obsessed with my classroom decals! They were easy to put up and are such great thick quality! The shop owners were very helpful when I was planning this project. It is EXACTLY what I had imagined."
Rachel S ~ Vestavia Hills, AL
Thank You Mrs Stanley
This classroom was one of our earliest Mej Mej shares and Rachel (Mrs Stanley) has inspired us ever since. Rachel ordered Personalized Watercolor Dots to place over her classroom library, spelling out "Mrs. Stanley’s Squad.” We matched her requested color order exactly, and six years later, they're still bright and beautiful—and sticking to painted cinder block (!) a classroom wall go-to.
Two years later, Rachel added the watercolor words Be Kind to her space — a perfect reminder of her teaching philosophy and a timeless favorite from our word decal collection.
And if you’d like to hear from the awesome Mrs. Stanley herself, here’s a fun video clip from her Instagram feed, @myteachersaysso—full of clever, classroom-tested ideas for teachers and parents alike. Click to see a devoted and loving teacher share her heartfelt appreciation for our decals, still going strong six years later. We’re so happy to have played a small part in making her classroom a joyful place to learn.
Thank you, Mrs. Stanley (Rachel), for all the things you do each day to teach and guide the next generation of bright... and kind citizens.
If you are a teacher, first of all ... Yay You! We hope you’ve been inspired by these fellow educators who’ve shared their back-to-school classroom decor with us. And if you’re not a teacher, maybe today is the perfect day to thank one who made a difference in your life.
And I’m going to take this very moment to say just that to my 5th grade teacher ... “Thank you, Mrs. Rahlfs! I still love reading and writing (and I hope my spelling is correct.) ☺
To all the teachers, who are, right about now, filling their rooms with color, warmth, and love — thank you for everything you do.
Love, Cathy and the Mej Mej family
