If you’re a busy mom, you know how hard it can be to refresh your home’s decor. Between
school drop offs and meal prep, who’s got hours (or days!) to spend on home improvement
projects?
The good news is, a stylish home update doesn’t have to be time-consuming (or even
expensive). All thanks to peel-and-stick wallpaper!
Removable wallpaper lets you add personality to your space; create a feature wall; experiment
with a bold design you’d be a little hesitant to commit to in the long run—and so much more.
Let’s discover how this DIY decor solution can save you time and money, all while adding a
stunning new look to your home. Great for renters and commitment-phobes alike.
What is Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper?
This is a type of self-adhesive wallpaper that you can easily apply and remove without using
traditional wallpaper paste. It’s convenient and mess-free—and makes for a home upgrade that
saves you time and money. Think: a giant and durable sticker with an adhesive backing, all ready to stick to your wall.
If you’re looking for some of the best wallpaper for a home, Love vs Design has an amazing
collection. They offer so many different prints. You can choose the ones you love and then customize them using over 200 colors. Love vs Design gives you the option to visualize your creation in your space (by simply uploading a photo of the room) and ordering a sample to experience the feel of it.
Why Use Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper?
It’s Easy to Install
You no longer need a professional to install your wallpaper. There will be no glue, no paste, no
complicated tools. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is as simple as it sounds. Just peel and stick it to your wall. So, even if you have little to no experience with DIY projects, you can still master this one.
It’s Super Quick
While traditional wallpaper can take you days, installing peel-and-stick wallpaper is a quick
project. All you need is one free afternoon—and some rolled-up sleeves—and you’ll have it
done! That’s especially important when you’ve got little ones holding onto your legs, waiting
when it’s going to be time for their activities.
There’s No Mess
There’s no glue, no paste—and no stress. While traditional wallpaper can quickly get messy,
peel-and-stick options don’t face this problem. Plus, you’re not damaging your walls with sticky
adhesive (which is why this option is suitable for renters).
It’s Affordable
Traditional wallpaper (not to mention having it installed) can be pricey. Peel-and-stick wallpaper,
on the other hand, offers a budget-friendly alternative. But with that same style! Plus, if you ever
want to take it down, it won’t cost you time or energy. It’s as easy as, well, simply peeling it off.
Great for Many Types of Decorators
If you’re a renter, peel-and-stick options will upgrade your space but without permanently
changing the home’s aesthetic. When you take it down before you leave the space, you don’t
have to worry about damage fees. This means you can add personality to your home—but
without violating your lease. And if you’re someone who wants to try dark colors (like a stunning
black wallpaper) but are afraid of commitment, peel-and-stick wallpaper lets you go as bold as
you want, guilt-free!
Where to Use Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper
You may have heard peel-and-stick wallpaper is used for the walls. Correct, but only partially.
Peel-and-stick wallpaper has several other uses—which can help avoid expensive
replacements/upgrades.
Furniture Makeover
If you’ve got an old piece of furniture, like a dresser or bookshelf, lying around and are thinking
of replacing it, hold up. We’ve got you a more affordable solution: breathing life into your
existing piece with peel-and-stick wallpaper! All you have to do is measure the surfaces of the
furniture and cut the wallpaper accordingly, leaving some room for extra cutting. Paste it, and
there you have a piece that looks as good as new.
Kitchen Splashback
Getting a new splashback can be super expensive. With a peel-and-stick wallpaper, you can get
a look that’s similar to tile. It’s also a durable option. You’re not only saving on the cost of
tiles—you’re also saving on that costly backsplash installation.
Kids’ Rooms
Kids are experts at making messes. They can touch the walls with their sticky fingers and draw
on them with crayons. This means you’ll need touch-ups every now and then. Refreshing paint
or traditional wallpaper can be expensive—but with peel-and-stick wallpaper, you can replace
them as often as you wish without worrying much about budget.
DIY Headboard
You can skip an expensive headboard for your bed and use peel-and-stick wallpaper instead. If
you’re looking for a boutique-hotel vibe, add black wallpaper behind your bed—in a shape
similar to a headboard—and watch the luxury it brings.
