Peel-and-stick wallpaper is your ticket for a statement-making aesthetic without the commitment that traditional wallpaper requires.

Like its name implies, you simply peel off the adhesive back and apply the wallpaper to the wall. No soaking, no paste and no mess! The only prep required is that you remove outlets, nails, picture hangers and the like, lightly sand the wall surface and then go over it with a damp sponge. Once the surface is dry, you’re good to go.

Plus, removing peel-and-stick wallpaper is just as easy. When you’re ready for a change, run a hair dryer over it to loosen things up, then peel it off. (Keep in mind that when it comes to longevity, peel-and-stick wallpaper won’t last as long as traditional wallpaper, since the adhesive isn’t as strong as paste.)

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is ideal for an accent wall; it’s also great for dressing up the insides of bookshelves. It’s available in vinyl, paper or fabric, in all kinds of prints and colors. You’ll even find styles that look textured, like grass cloth or shiplap.
