One thing I think many of us look forward to when expecting, is decorating the nursery and then redecorating your child's room as they grow older. Depending on what your children are interested in, you may decide to paint their room or you may decide to use certain wallpaper. Something that a lot of people don't consider is stickers. Here at Mumii, we have been very lucky to find Stickerscape, read on to see what kind of an alternative wall stickers make for decorating your room.

Stickerscape make and design all of their products themselves right here in the UK, I love being able to support British businesses!! This lovely company allow you to work alongside them, creating something that is just right for your family.
Stickerscape Design
On the website, you can choose from readymade stickers in a range of themes such as woodland, jungle, space, farm and party. There is something for every child. However if you don't find something you like there, you are encouraged to get in touch with Stickerscape as they will work with you to create stickers that are fitting for you and your children.
The process of getting bespoke made stickers was simple. Jo is a lovely lady who makes it very easy to get the exact design that you desire, this can be done via email, telephone or both.
I have 3 girls that share a room so I wanted something that all of my daughter's would be happy with. I talked to all of them together and asked them for themes that they were interested in. The response I had was butterflies, fairies, rainbows and princesses. We decided they were thinking magical/fairytale theme. The size of the stickers is entirely up to you too. Just let them know the size of the space you are hoping to fill. I emailed our ideas to Jo who then proceeded to make up a few designs for us to choose from.
I couldn't believe how quickly she came back to me with ideas, all of which were fantastic, making it hard to choose exactly what to go for. We agreed on a height chart design which included a princess tower, stars and butterflies. The only thing missing was a fairy. I only had to mention this and the stickers were speedily re designed and a fairy included. This showed just how much they listen to you as a client!!
Fitting the stickers
Once the stickers arrived, it was time to put them up on the wall. The great thing is that you can place the stickers where you want; you don't have to put them in the exact same positions they arrive in.
Putting them on the wall was a lot less time consuming than trying to paint or wallpaper a whole room and the handy application guide on their website made the process a stress free one with four simple steps:
- Clean it: You need to clean the surface you are applying the stickers to and make sure it is free from dust and grease.
- Prep it: Cut the stickers into smaller parts, making sure to not remove any backing, then lay stickers flat with the clear transfer facing up and run something like a credit card over the surface
- Peel it: Turning the stickers over so the clear transfer is now facing down, peel the backing off of the stickers, making sure to do this slowly and carefully.
- Stick it: Holding the clear transfer tightly, position your sticker and then smooth over. Leave the transfer about 10 minutes and peel away. The only thing I found slightly fiddly was when I started sticking the tower to the wall, as it was a larger sticker. However once I got going I found it simple, just doing it little by little.
I allowed my two eldest children to help me place a couple of the stars and butterflies, it was nice as it made a great activity to do together and no mess to clean up afterwards. I would just make sure they wash their hands first, no good having sticky fingers involved!!
Now Jo really did think of everything. She included extra stars so that we could put these stickers on at a later date to mark certain heights reached, you can write on these too. A lovely touch to an already magical design.
Stickerscape Features
An excellent feature to these stickers is being able to take them off with ease if you decided to change the design of your child's bedroom at a later date. I put this to the test after a few days of having the stickers on the wall; I only took one star off but is was done very easily and didn't ruin the paint underneath. I think this a real added bonus, especially if you are renting a house and need to put it back to its original state if you decided to move out.
Stickerscape Conclusion
Stickerscape makes an easy and affordable alternative method to decorating any room. Whether you choose something from their website or decide to create something unique to you and your family, these stickers really do make a refreshing change. The process of having them made is simple and is very exciting and the end result is a high quality decoration that is lovely to look at, letting your child use their imagination as they take in their surroundings.
I struggled to find any negatives with these products. The only thing I noticed was that they recommend not using these stickers on wallpaper or any other paper/card based backing. However this is up to the customer, there is just a risk that the stickers won't come off cleanly and could tear the wallpaper when trying to remove so if you're attached to your wallpaper this might not be the option for you. I would highly recommend these stickers; I love that you can even have letters made so you can make it really personal to your child if you wanted.
We give the Stickerscape Height Chart Sticker 5 out of 5 stars.
