Wall decals

I was planning to paint something on the nursery wall, but I've found a few wall decals on etsy that are pretty much exactly what I want. I'm starting to think it might be easier to just buy one.
Have any of you used a vinyl or fabric decal before? How hard was it to put up? If you've had it up for a while, does it still look good?

Re: Wall decals
My one dining room wall had a damask pattern on it that I put up myself, which was very easy. I just recently took it down bc we were going to rent out our house. It was very easy to remove and left no " ghost print" or residue behind.
I do agree with cv to a certain extent, but I like the idea of it for a nursery bc if you're going to stencil or paint something on the wall you might as well use decals bc it's not permanent.
What I'm considering is something like this:
Definitely no cartoon animals for me!
It's a rare occasion, but I totally agree with CV here! They just seem really over done to me. But I also don't love nurseries that are painted in super babyish colors and things like that. But since its your babies nursery, you may as well just go with whatever you like best!
agreed! From my experience something this big is probably going to come in several separate pieces, just so you're aware, not that it makes it anymore difficult just some lining up and you have more freedom of how you want it to look.
ditto. Monkeys and trees are SO overdone. That'll be chevron this time next year. And grey and yellow theme.
We're in an apartment and not sure how long we'll be living here. I didn't want to paint anything that would make it harder to sell the place if and when the time comes.
I used to think wall decals were kind of tacky, but then I went to my friend's house who has a 5 year old. This little girl had decals all over the place and would regularly re-decorate the walls. I think she loved doing it and it didn't leave any weird marks and they weren't so expensive that it was a problem she was doing it.
I got a wall decal of DD's name on a deal of the day site. I had to put it on carefully but it stays really well. Then I got wall decals that match her bedding. Most of it has stayed well, but some of them have started peeling off. My bro got DD Dora wall decals. DD put them up all over the place and keeps moving them around and she really loves doing it. Again, some stay ok, some peel. It doesn't matter 'cause when she's done with the Dora phase we'll just be able to take them all down with no harm done.
Me too!
Oh chevron! I mean its really cute but its EVERYWHERE.
I agree with CV but this room looks well put together. I dig it.
