Walk the ancient path to your center with the Cretan Labyrinth wall decal. A classic symbol of life's journey, inner peace, and focus—ideal for meditation spaces and self-reflection.
The Cretan Labyrinth, also known as the Classical Labyrinth, is considered the archetypal form of this powerful symbol. Unlike the complex medieval designs (like the one in Chartres), this ancient version features seven circuits winding around the center. Its history dates back to the high culture of Crete (approx. 3000 BC) and the famous "Labyrinth of Knossos," associated with the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. This universal symbol has been found on ancient coins, Roman floor mosaics, and even in Native American culture, where the Hopi Indians call it Tapuat (symbolizing the Mother and Child).
Not a Maze, But a Path A labyrinth is often confused with a maze, but there is a crucial difference: A maze has dead ends, wrong turns, and puzzles. A labyrinth has only one single path that leads inevitably from the outside to the center. Therefore, it stands for the Path of Life and the search for your Inner Center. It represents the cycle of becoming and passing away—just as you walk into the center, you retrace your steps to return, mirroring the rhythm of inhaling and exhaling.
Focus and Meditation This wall decal invites you to trust the twists and turns of life, knowing they will eventually lead you to your goal.
Meditation Aid: Use the design as a visual focus point for mindfulness and self-reflection.
Finger Labyrinth: If placed within reach, you can trace the lines with your finger. This practice is known to increase concentration and synchronize the brain hemispheres, calming the nervous system.

Color Selection
To test the color in advance and to check whether your surface is suitable for our wall decals, we recommend ordering our color sample card with a sample wall decal in your desired colors. Not every wall paint or surface is suitable!
A little trick is to test the adhesive strength in advance with a regular adhesive tape for 1-2 days. If the tape (please test for 1-2 days) sticks well, the surface is very likely suitable for our self-adhesive wall decals. To be on the safe side, order test strips in your desired colors.
Our wall decals are suitable for:
Indoor Use
Wallpapers (including most woodchip/textured wallpapers)
Wall paints with a high content of silicates (potassium silicate), silicones, latex, acrylic, and synthetic resins.
"Schöner Wohnen" paints (high content of silicate/potassium silicate/mineral wall paint).
Wall paints that are moisture-wipeable.
Surfaces with dirt-repellent properties (e.g., non-woven wallpapers).
Porous or textured surfaces.
Dusty, greasy, moist, and very cold surfaces.
Freshly painted, wallpapered, or plastered walls (wait approx. 2-4 weeks).

A little trick is to test the adhesive strength in advance with regular adhesive tape for 1-2 days. If the tape (please test for 1-2 days) sticks well, the surface is very likely suitable for our self-adhesive wall decals. To be on the safe side, order test strips in your desired colors.
Freshly painted walls should be allowed to dry for at least 14 days. For freshly plastered walls, the waiting time should be even longer.
Adhesive films should be mounted shortly after delivery and not stored over several months. A dry, dust-free place, not below 10°C and not above 30°C, is best suited for storage.
The bonding temperature should be at least 15°C. Cold and damp walls can make it difficult to affix.
Before you start mounting, the adhesive film should be unrolled and left in the same room as the surface to be glued for about an hour. This allows the material to adapt to the room temperature. Please pay special attention to this in winter when the wall decal or sticker is delivered in a cold state.
Temperature differences during transport can cause bubbles to form. These do not affect the quality of our products. The air inclusions can be carefully smoothed out with the squeegee.
Our wall decal should only be stored for a few weeks and should be applied to the wall soon after delivery.
