Why do we decorate the sukkah?

Decorating the sukkah is a form of hiddur mitzvah — beautifying the mitzvah — based on the verse zeh Keili v'anveihu, this is my G-d and I will glorify Him. Noy sukkah, sukkah decorations, turn the temporary hut into a beautiful dwelling worthy of the seven days we live in it.

Are sukkah decorations waterproof?

The vinyl sukkah decorations are printed on waterproof heavy-duty 13oz vinyl so they can handle dampness in an outdoor sukkah far better than paper decorations. The vinyl won't wrinkle from humidity and dries up after rain. Waterdale's vinyl and acrylic sukkah decorations are made for the realities of an outdoor sukkah.

How do you hang decorations on sukkah walls?

Most vinyl decorations and murals have metal grommets on all four sides — zip ties, hooks or clips through the grommets pull it tight against the wall so it hangs securely. The Gedolim sets are the exception: they hang with strong magnets instead, so there is nothing to thread. The vinyl is lightweight and lies flat without tearing like paper, so it works on wood, canvas or panel sukkah walls alike. The Lucite decorations have small holes for hanging and come with adhesives included.

What sizes do the sukkah murals and panels come in?

Sizes run from small panels to full walls. The smallest painted vinyl decorations start around 10.5" x 18", mid-size panels run 20" x 16" through 40" x 30", and the full-wall sukkah murals come in 8' x 7', 12' x 7' and 12' x 7.5'. Many designs are sold in more than one size, so you can pick a scale that suits your sukkah wall.

What kinds of sukkah wall decorations are there?

The collection covers all different styles and tastes for how you want to style your sukkah: Vinyl prints and full-wall sukkah murals — Kosel scenes, Bais Hamikdash, greenery, dancing Chassidim Lucite decoration sets — onyx, hexagon, leaf and die-cut pieces in gold and silver Mosaic and diamond-art decorations for you to finish at home and add your personal touch Bracha and tefillah texts — Ushpizin, Shivas Haminim, Vesamachta Bechagecha, Netilas Lulav, Kiddush, Al Hamichyah, Harachaman and Hadlokas Neiros Much of the sukkah art is hand-painted by artists Zelda, Batya, Judy, Yonatan, Yosefa and Shira Licht and printed on high quality material to decorate your sukkah. Mixing one large mural with smaller coordinating pieces gives a designed look rather than a patchwork.

Are the sukkah decorations sold in sets or individually?

Both. Most designs are sold individually, and there are also coordinated sets if you'd rather not choose every piece yourself. Sets are the simpler way to get a whole sukkah wall that matches.

What are the most popular sukkah decoration themes?

Kosel and Yerushalayim scenes lead year after year, followed by greenery murals that echo the s'chach, ushpizin pieces welcoming the Seven Guests, Gedolim portraits, and bracha texts. Choosing one theme per wall keeps a large sukkah feeling curated.

How do I store sukkah decorations after Yom Tov?

Wipe the vinyl pieces dry and roll them without sharp creases — the large murals ship in a reusable storage tube that's made for exactly this — and store them in a dry bin with the sukkah boards so they'll unroll flat next Elul. Acrylic and mosaic pieces store best flat, padded between layers.

Can kids help decorate the sukkah?

Absolutely — Color It Acrylic and mosaic decorations are designed for children to complete and hang, and diamond-art pieces like the Dancing Chassidim keep older kids busy erev Yom Tov. A child's finished piece hanging beside a designer mural is exactly what noy sukkah is about.

Can sukkah decorations be personalized?

Waterdale's Lucite sukkah decorations offer engraving through the Personalization option on the product page — a family name on a piece that comes out of the box every year.

Who are the Ushpizin?
The Ushpizin are seven holy guests: Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, Moshe, Aharon, Yosef and Dovid. According to the Zohar, they come to visit every sukkah on Sukkos. Each day one of them leads, and all seven are welcomed before the meal. Inviting them also reminds us to welcome guests, especially those in need, into our sukkah.
