### Design & Sizing

– Measure your space before purchasing to ensure proper fit.
– Consider the decal’s orientation—horizontal, vertical, or curved to match the surface.
### Pro Tip:
When in doubt, opt for a slightly smaller decal; you can always layer or add more later.

4. **Remove transfer tape** slowly at a sharp angle, ensuring the decal stays in place.
