For DIY-inclined renters and homeowners alike, peel-and-stick removable wallpaper (also called self-adhesive removable wallpaper) can quickly transform a space.
These wallpapers are designed to remove as cleanly as possible from non-textured walls that are painted in most finishes—ideally avoiding the need to repaint.
After spending 10 weeks researching, sampling, and testing wallpapers from nine brands in a range of patterns, we found three peel-and-stick wallpapers that you can apply with confidence and (relative) ease, no matter your style.
Our pick
Wallshoppe’s smooth, satin, paper-based wallpaper is easy to install and has plenty of patterns to choose from.
Of all the peel-and-stick wallpaper we tested, Wallshoppe’s Removable Wallpaper was by far the easiest for one person to apply, readjust, and handle, without it sticking to itself. The non-vinyl material’s smooth finish and thickness also make this wallpaper forgiving of mistakes, so it looks polished.
When installed, the wallpaper has a slight sheen and classic flat-paper look (as opposed to Chasing Paper’s wallpapers, which have a woven texture that’s more tactile). The design selection—more than 2,000 patterns—is impressive, and it includes various bold and bright patterns. The patterns we tested were Orange Crush wallpaper by Nathan Turner in Onyx, El Quijote wallpaper by Chris Benz in Mustard, Françoise Floral wallpaper by Clare V. in Green, Blowfish wallpaper in Sky, and Merci Beaucoup wallpaper by Clare V. in Pink.
Our pick
Chasing Paper’s lightweight, fabric-based wallpaper has a tactile, woven finish. It’s easy to install and has crisp printing in multiple styles.
Chasing Paper Wallpaper is great for those who like paper that has a matte look with a tactile finish (it’s made of fabric instead of paper) and crisp, fine-line printing. Though this company has fewer designs than some others, the range is well curated—including several small-scale patterns (which can be hard to find for peel-and-stick, a category that sometimes caters to a big-and-bold aesthetic). We found the non-vinyl, lightweight textile material easy to apply and reposition without it creasing or wrinkling (and it still remained secure on the wall). The patterns we tested were Cane and Palm in Orange, Grid in Fern and White, Jaipur in Dusty Blue, Stripes in Neutral, and Jacobean in Grey.
Also great
Livette’s is an Oeko-Tex–certified option with gorgeous patterns to choose from. But it can be trickier to install without help.
We were impressed by Livette’s Wallpaper’s excellent print quality and designs in more than 300 patterns. Its fine-webbed, non-vinyl woven material is extremely lightweight and has a refined, matte look once installed. The adhesive has a very strong hold, which all but guarantees the wallpaper will stay up for years to come. But the strong hold also makes it harder to correct mistakes during installation, compared with other papers we tested. This paper is also pricier than our two other picks. The patterns we tested were Baby Blue Lemons wallpaper, Sunny Delicate Scallop Print wallpaper in Yolk & Off White, and Greek Terrazzo wallpaper in Multicolor.
