Useful compositions include a décor product that is formulated to be applied and affixed to a surface. A décor product may be removed from the surface before being affixed thereto. Permanent or semi-permanent affixation of the décor product to the surface may be accomplished by applying heat, pressure, emitted waves, an emitted electrical field, a magnetic field, and/or a chemical.
