|
|

Q: Is this going to be a lot of work?
|
|
|
A: Based on client feedback, the average Bug on a Wall project can be done in a weekend! Each pattern is easy to work with and takes minutes to map out and a day or two to complete painting. You can buy the patterns to fill an entire room (such as the Jungle Set) or as a single piece (such as the Giraffe). The design is only as involved as you decide. And the best part is that you can start out small and add on later - without making the room look incomplete. Careful planning can also make the project go faster. If you prep the walls the weekend before, you can reduce your time considerably and enjoy the room even sooner!

Q: Is this going to be too complicated?
|
|
|
A: If you can trace lines and paint using a paint-by-number chart, then you can do a Bug on a Wall project! Each pattern comes with complete instructions that take you step-by-step through the process of applying the pattern to the wall. Then you are free to use the color chart provided, or you can deviate and create your own color scheme. The patterns offer you tremendous flexibility. Let the room dictate where the pattern looks the best. You can wrap the design around a corner, and even run it up onto the ceiling. Small or odd shaped rooms are no problem! There's simply no limit to your options or creativity!

Q: How expensive will this project be?
|
|
|
A: Bug on a Wall mural patterns are designed to fit your budget in every way. You can buy our designs by the piece or by the set. Our prices average between $20 - $60 per piece and under $200 for a complete set. Compare this to yards of wall paper, borders and sticker sets or to the huge amount you can spend on a professional artist. And Bug on a Wall patterns are reusable, so you can repeat a design in your child's bathroom or closet without any additional cost.

Q: Do you have to use special paints?
|
|
|
A: Paint couldn't be simpler! We recommend using water-based acrylic paints that you can purchase at any home improvement or craft store. This allows you to be able to match your paint colors to your existing linens or a special bed spread in your child's room to give your mural a customized look. And there is no need for fancy brushes or specialty tools either. Just good quality run-of-the-mill paint brushes will do. Bug on a Wall mural patterns are specifically designed to be user friendly with professional results!

Q: Why choose murals over wall paper or stickers?
|
|
|
A: One of the biggest advantages of Bug on a Wall mural patterns is that it is so easy for you to change your decor later with murals. Unlike wall paper, papered borders and stickers, when your child outgrows the mural on his or her wall, you can simply paint over the design. There is no tedious peeling to be done. Bug on a Wall murals are a neat, easy way to transform a room and leave the walls intact for design changes in the future.

Q: What if I am renting and can't paint on my walls?
|
|
|
A: Bug on a Wall offers an easy solution for people who want to create something special in a room, but don't have the luxury of painting directly on the walls. By using one of the Bug on a Wall patterns, and placing it on a piece of plywood, drywall or stretched canvas, you can easily paint your desired look and then take the mural with you when you go. This is the perfect solution for renters or for people who want to be able to keep a design for future use.
