I have textured walls, so it took just a little extra smoothing but even without going over it a couple of times it stuck really well. There are so many extra decorative swirls that you can really get extremely creative with this set. It has a large version and a small version. I didn't even use a ruler and align this on the wall, I kind of eye-balled it and it looks great right as you walk into my home. Shipped really fast.
