What is Peel and Stick Wallpaper?

Peel and stick wallpaper is exactly what the name suggests. It looks like traditional wallpaper, but doesn’t require paste or water to install. Instead, it has a self-adhesive backing. Just peel the liner back and stick it to the wall.

Removable wallpaper is designed to leave little-to-no residue behind when you peel it off, so it’s great for renters and DIYers. It’s also super versatile. You can use it on walls or try adding it to furniture, backsplashes, doors, or even ceilings.

When To Choose Peel and Stick Wallpaper

You might want to opt for peel and stick over paint or traditional wallpaper if:

• You rent your space and aren’t allowed to paint
• You like to switch out your décor frequently
• You’re adding wallpaper to a difficult-to-reach area (ceilings, bookshelves, etc.)
• You want to try out a seasonal print or daring trend
• You want an easy, mess-free application

5 Peel and Stick Wallpaper Style Ideas

1. Create Character With an Accent Wall

Applying a peel and stick wallpaper to just one wall in a room is the perfect way to create a stand-out design feature. An accent wall can help anchor a room, draw the eye toward an architectural feature, or add bold style without overwhelming your space.

Here are a few ways to elevate your home with a peel and stick accent wall:

• Frame a fireplace or bed with an elegant damask pattern.
• Add a wall mural to turn a flat surface into a work of art.
• Install a faux brick accent wall to achieve an industrial look.
• Choose a bold botanical print for instant flair.
• Add depth and dimension with a “fifth wall” ceiling wallpaper
• 2. Keep Up With Seasonal Trends

One of the best things about peel and stick is that you can quickly switch out your design as trends and seasons change. But taping, priming, and painting your walls can turn a seasonal refresh into a labor-intensive project.

Removable wallpaper gives you the freedom to embrace every season and special event with a transformative wall covering. Try:

• A festive holiday wallpaper for winter
• A soft floral print for spring
• A coastal design for summer
• A warm, moody pattern for fall

Just remove your previous design and replace it with a new, seasonally appropriate wallpaper to make your home feel brand new.

3. Revamp Small Spaces

Because peel and stick wallpaper is less messy and easier to apply than traditional paste options, it’s perfect for decorating smaller, hard-to-reach areas. 

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Highlight a kitchen nook or small reading alcove with a decorative floral design.
• Add a colorful print to stair risers.
• Infuse style into a wet bar with a wine-colored design.
• Apply a textured grasscloth to the back of a bookcase.
• Surprise guests by adding a stylish tropical wallpaper to the inside of an entry closet.
• Achieve a creative look by wallpapering door panels.
• 4. Give Your Kitchen Backsplash a Makeover

In the old days, redoing your kitchen backsplash meant ripping out old tile and installing new ones with heavy mortars and sealants. But this can get messy — and expensive — fast. With modern peel and stick wallpapers, you can instantly revamp your kitchen with an easy-to-apply, DIY wallpaper design. 

Choose a faux tile wallpaper for a classic backsplash effect, add a marble pattern for an upscale look, or apply a funky wallpaper print to add unexpected charm. Just be sure to choose a high-quality, water-resistant peel and stick wallpaper. This goes for any traditionally humid room, from kitchens and bathrooms to mudrooms and laundry spaces.

5. Design a Whimsical Kid’s Room 

There’s nothing cuter than a nursery or child’s room with a themed kids’ wallpaper. Galaxy prints, animal patterns, watercolor designs, or woodland forest scenes add personality to a child’s room. But kids grow up fast, and their hobbies and preferences change just as quickly.

A removable peel and stick wallpaper ensures your kid’s bedroom or playroom can evolve with them. When they’re ready to move on from rainbows and bunny rabbits, they can easily replace their old wallpaper with a new teenager-approved design.
