How to choose?
In all the variety of ceiling stickers presented today by manufacturers, it is quite possible to get confused. We recommend not to rush and not to buy the first stickers. The choice of these decorative elements must be approached with skill, otherwise the interior risks becoming clumsy and its design will have to re-engage.
- If you choose stickers for your living room, study or bedroom, then bright stars and frivolous flowers will definitely not work. In a room with a strict and concise design, various kinds of geometric designs look great. Funny little animals and stars - the best option for the children's room.In a romantic bedroom, more airy motifs, such as clouds or delicate large flowers, will look original.
- Choosing stickers, do not forget about the color. Remember, in what colors the design of your room is made, whether the stickers will harmoniously look and match with other colors. This is very important.
- Another important point is the price. We strongly advise against choosing too cheap stickers, as there is a high probability that they were made from low-quality materials and this can cause serious harm to health.
How to stick?
So, if your room is not ordinary, but a suspended ceiling, then you need to know exactly how to glue such stickers on it. In principle, in this process there is nothing complicated, it does not require any professional skills, but neatness just does not hurt.
- First you need to thoroughly clean the surface. Use a damp cloth to wipe off any accumulated dust, and then wipe dry to prevent excessive moisture.
- If you have already determined exactly how and where the stickers will be placed, then it is worth making small marks on the ceiling, so that you do not spoil its overall appearance.It is easy to stick small stickers: just remove the protective film and stick them to the ceiling. But with the big have a little work.
- Do not peel off the backing from the entire surface of the sticker at once. Start at one end, peel off the tape centimeters for five to seven, then fix the sticker. Gradually removing the film, stick the entire element. This should be done carefully, most importantly, do not rush. During this process, be sure to help the silicone spatula, smoothing the sticker to the ceiling. So you avoid irregularities, and the sticker is better fixed on the surface.
- Remember that the spatula must be kept from the already glued edge in the direction of the adhesive film. So the sticker will fall flat and there will be no air bubbles. After you complete the entire process, gently walk across the entire surface of the sticker with a soft and dry cloth.
