Which wall letters for which room?

Living room

The wall above the sofa or a sideboard is the most common spot: a word or a short phrase that reads from across the room.

• Height 12 cm above furniture, 18 cm on a large open wall.
• Material PLA for a colour matched to your decor, lime wood for a natural look.
• Mounting 15 mm standoffs for a cast shadow, adhesive pads for a flush finish.

Child’s room

The name above the bed is a classic: choose a legible typeface and a colour that matches the room.

• Height 8 to 12 cm, depending on the width of the bed and the length of the name.
• Material PLA, for bright colours as well as pastels.
• Mounting On the wall, out of children’s reach, and away from a radiator.

Hallway and entrance

A welcome word is read in passing: keep the text short and at eye level.

• Height 12 to 18 cm, depending on the length of the wall.
• Material PLA or lime wood, to suit the style of the entrance.
• Mounting Adhesive pads on a smooth painted wall, standoffs on a solid wall for more relief.

Bathroom and kitchen

In a damp room, the material matters more than the size.

• Material PLA only: it is not affected by water. Lime wood needs a water-repellent varnish applied first.
• Heat PLA softens from 50 °C: keep it away from the hob, the oven and radiators.
• Mounting On a splashback or a mirror, apply the adhesive pads to a clean, dry surface.

Offices and professional spaces

At reception or behind a counter, lettering becomes signage: it has to read from a distance.

• Height 18 to 30 cm for a name or a typographic logo.
• Material PLA in your brand colours.
• Mounting 15 mm standoffs for a crisp, professional relief.

Doors, shelves and small spaces

A 5 cm word is enough to mark a door, an alcove or a shelf.

• Height 5 cm, the “Subtle” height: a light touch.
• Material PLA or lime wood.
• Mounting Adhesive pads, no drilling.

FAQ — Your questions about placement

How high should letters go above a sofa?

A common rule of thumb is to leave about 20 to 30 cm between the top of the backrest and the bottom of the letters, and to centre the word on the sofa.

Can adhesive letters be removed without damaging the wall?

Yes: don’t pull the letter, rotate it slowly until it comes away from the wall.

Which mounting for a textured wall?

On heavily textured render or a velvet or satin stain-resistant paint, always test one pad first. If it holds poorly, use the standoff kit, screwed into the wall.
