Yes, Wall Stickers CAN Work on Textured Walls

Not sure if vinyl wall stickers will work on your textured walls? We get that question fairly often. So we at Wall Decor Plus More decided to test our stickers on a wall with a "knockdown" texture. By testing our products on real wall surfaces, just like the ones in your home, we can better help you use our vinyl wall stickers effectively in your own home decor.

We are pleased to offer these tips and how-to's that will help you successfully use our vinyl wall stickers on your rough or textured walls:

1. It starts with choosing a wall sticker that has a bolder, plainer font. You can probably get by with some thinner script lettering if your wall texture isn't quite as rough as the one in our photos, but generally it's easier to apply the bold, plain fonts on a textured wall surface. Why? The thicker letters simply have more material to stick onto the wall, so they adhere better.

2. Next, be sure you allow plenty of time to work slowly and carefully. With patience you CAN get the vinyl wall sticker applied securely. It can be tricky to get the top tape layer off the lettering–on a rough wall surface, the stickers won't adhere perfectly and a little more effort will be needed. If a letter gets moved, you might need to place it by hand; again, plain lettering works better for this than fine, connected lettering.



3. Once the tape is removed, rub the wall sticker down firmly with your fingers. The photo above shows the slight curve in the "N" that happened after we rubbed it down really well. The sticker curved into a groove in the wall texture, which means it has adhered well. Can't really see it? No one else will either.

For our test we chose a wall quote that is approximately 23"W x 12"H. It's Chocolate Brown applied onto a tan textured wall.

Our photos on this post were taken two weeks after the vinyl wall sticker was applied to the "knockdown" textured wall surface. We waited two weeks to be sure that the sticker STAYED STUCK on the textured wall–and it did! We believe you'll have the same success with our vinyl wall stickers.
