Sadly, it looks a bit tacky as I'd feared. I applied it in our deep purple hallway and while the color and design are lovely, it's very obvious these are cheap decals. You can't see it in the pictures but the designs are not cut out right at the edge (which admittedly might be way more difficult to handle or reposition) but surrounded by clear sticker, which you can immediately see against the wall, especially if looking at it from an angle or right under a light. I'm going to give them a test run anyway, but I don't think this is the look I'm going for. The only exception to the clear sticker problem is the pair of birds, which are cut neatly out, so I can at least use those somewhere without it being cheesy.
