After falling out of favor a few decades back, wallpaper is back in a big way, thanks to regular appearances on mega-hit shows like Fixer Upper and all sorts of clever ideas to be found on Instagram. But not everyone is comfortable taking the plunge on a permanent decor transformation—swathing an entire room is, admittedly, a big commitment. That’s where peel-and-stick wallpaper comes in. Whereas traditional wallpaper can be costly and difficult to remove, the removable variety is comparatively inexpensive, allowing you to experiment without worrying about messy glue or lasting damage.

Peel-and-stick wallpapers are an easy solution to transforming your space.

Today’s temporary options essentially act like a big sticker. You just measure and cut out what you need, peel off the backing, and stick onto your wall or whatever surface you desire, like the inside of a bookshelf or top of a dresser. Since it’s self-adhesive, there's no glue required. And if you’re no longer feeling it a few years down the road? Simply pull it off, with no stripping necessary (or residue left behind)—an apartment-dweller or serial redesigner’s dream.

Of course, the journey to wallpapered walls, even temporary ones, starts with finding the right look for you. Here are 12 of the very best removable wallpapers, from floral patterns to textured metallic designs.

An impressive mix of muted and bold, Minted’s double rainbow paper makes a statement while blending in with just about any color palette. The panels are printed on matte woven fabric for a slight texture and—this is a nice perk for installation—they’re tear-resistant. You can also reposition the panels until they’re just right. The whole thing is PVC-free, making it safer than many commercial wallpapers.

This relaxed yet formal linen-like textured removeable wallpaper makes it simple to add a sense of coastal elegance to a room. The beachy artistic interpretations of sand dollars and kelp create organic movement in an otherwise neutral pattern. Whether upgrading the beach house with a little DIY or subtly bringing the vacation vibes to your primary residence, this easy-to-apply wallpaper is likely to stick around. Grab a test swatch, pick up a sheet for accent pieces or grab a few rolls of up to twelve feet long for bigger projects. If linen isn’t your style, choose from hundreds more artist designed removeable wallpapers from Shutterfly.

Tempaper was one of the first few brands to launch a collection of exclusively peel-and-stick wallpaper. This option from the brand takes traditional floral wallpaper and gives it a modern upgrade.

You can even use it in the bathroom—it’s steam-proof. The stick-on wallpaper is also environmentally friendly and 100% American-made.

Joanna Gaines made shiplap a must-have design element for modern farmhouse fans, but it’s not cheap—or easy—to install.
