We put together this quick guide to show how to space wall patterns, you just need to decide if you want to go for a geometric look or a more organic random one. We are great fans of randomness, but evenly spaced patterns give you that wallpaper feel that works particularly great on bigger surfaces.
If you want to go for an evenly spaced wall pattern you need to plan ahead a bit.
Another way to get geometric patterns is to use a ruler and a piece of chalk (or washi tape). With the chalk you plot out the locations of the decals on the wall before hand, as this allows you to make corrections before actually applying the decals. When you get the pattern right, you just apply the individual decals on top of the dots you made.
Here you have a couple of examples of perfect evenly spaced patterns made by our lovely clients:

Applying random patterns is more up to your own visual eye. We recommend that you peel off a small piece of the backing paper and use the transfer tape to attach the decals to the wall. This way you can reposition the decals before you actually attach them for a perfect pattern. A great way to do a patterned dot wall is is to go for a tight spacing up top and then loosen it up as you go down to achieve a cascading waterfall look.

A spread of stickers can be applied pretty much anywhere you can imagine. A popular one is polka dot stickers that spread out from a corner, or a waterfall that starts from under a shelf or a spot in the roof and then gets more and more spaced out as they fall downwards. Applying decorative stickers this way is sure to capture the attention and redirect it to a single focal point. Great choices for these kind of sticker decorations are polka dots, stars, rain drops and small sprinkles.
