25 Simple Peel-and-Stick Removable Wallpaper That Will Wow Your Guests

OK, so you just moved into a new place and you’re tired of looking at plain boring walls in every room. Well, say no more! Removable wallpaper is a great way to change up and divide a room to the theme of your liking. If you’re a renter that wants to temporarily decorate your space but also needs the security deposit back when you move out, or you’re a college student who is motivated to spruce up the dorm room, or you’re just a nifty DIYer that loves to revamp the interiors of your old house or studio, there are a ton of wallpaper options available that make your environment the way you want. Not only are they easy to take down, but they are often reusable! Win-win!

So, here’s my carefully handpicked list of 25 affordable peel & stick wallpapers that are trending today and what people have to say about their first-hand experience using them.

1. Distressed Brown Wood Wallpaper – This is a very popular classic look as it portrays a rustic wood grain that looks realistic to the eye. If you’re going for the earthy nature feel, this wood wallpaper will make you feel like you’re living in a cabin. “I am really really surprised at how great this looks. We did a plaster beam in our bedroom. I wanted it to look like a real full wood beam and I think it really does.” – Delia O.

2. White Gray Wood Wallpaper – Looking for more of a vintage barn style? From afar, it gives a 3D visual effect and brings warmth to the room. “Very easy to use, very forgiving if you need to adjust! It was great for my Lemonade Stand Birthday party decor!” – Kimberly B.

3. Red Brick Wallpaper – Duplicate the feel of an east coast apartment and install this faux red brick wallpaper. Just like wood, this brick design gives off that illusion of 3D texture that is very eye-catching. “The perfect solution! It was hard to line the bricks up when I installed it, but all you have to do is cut out pieces from the unused portion and place it over seams or uneven lines and it looks flawless!” – Jonathan M.

4. Peacock Blue & Metallic Peonies Wallpaper – Transform your wall into a focal point of the room with this one. The colors are complementary to one another and brings you back to a luxurious time in the 1920s. “Love how this looks in my entryway. It was easy to install (I had to pull up and reapply a couple sections and I didn’t have any problems). I had some issues getting the panel to line up exactly right with the next one, but the floral design is very forgiving – I don’t think it’s noticeable if they aren’t aligned 100% correctly.” – Katherine C.

5. White & Black Marble Wallpaper – If you can’t afford real marble countertops, this is the next best thing. This wallpaper is not only classy and sleek looking, but it gives off a natural shine just like the real stone. “It’s so awesome & easy to use. Everyone loves the look so far.” – Earnest H.

6. Blue and Metallic Gold Fracture Wallpaper – Add a modern abstract pattern to the mix. You can also use masking tape and paint to make this style, but this wallpaper saves so much more time! “[My wife and I] highly recommend this one! Few other wallpaper designs have the unique geometry. We’ve renovated an RV with peel-and-stick wallpaper with great success. And are now redoing our kitchen and laundry area with this wallpaper. Works perfectly for us.” –  Jeremy C.

7. Novogratz Constellations Wallpaper – If you’re a fan of astrology, this one may be for you or your kids. It’s a fun way to pretend that you’re in space looking at the stars without having to go outside. “Love the way this looks on my desk/lab station in my science classroom! It was easy to cut and customize. Placement was also super easy, [it] just takes patience.” – Natalie P.

8. Star Wars Blueprint Wallpaper – This one is for the hardcore Star Wars fans out there. It’s not too flashy and it’s fun to spot movie characters. “Great purchase so far and my 9 year old son thinks he has the coolest room ever!” – Janette D.

9. Modern Stripe Wallpaper – This is perfect if you’re going for a minimalist theme with designer style. You can manually paint this on your wall, but again, it is just so much easier and faster using peel-and-stick contact paper, don’t you think? “It was easy to reposition while I was installing it. The best part is that because the pattern isn’t a perfect repeat, it is very forgiving if you are a little off.” – Janey B.

10. Geometric Hexagon Wallpaper – Looking at these simple golden lines kind of remind me of those Magic Eye books. “Sticks well, and comes up if you need to reposition a part. Put this on my shelves to make them pop. It was easy to cut a straight line with the guides on the back, and I’m pretty sure there’s some bubbles under still, but you can’t even notice with the pattern (which really is a gold and not a dark yellow color which I appreciate.)” – Tammy Y.

11. Groovy Garden Grey Wallpaper – This one has a soft taupe and pastel palette. Its dreamy forest pattern provides a very serene feel. Hand painted strokes give the pomegranate, pine and oak trees a vintage flair. ”Brightened up my overly white kitchen!” – Lauren M.

12. Black and White Tile Wallpaper – This faux tile wallpaper is waterproof and just as realistic when you are standing far away and looking at it. “I love it!!! Will be ordering another roll to finish my kitchen backsplash!” – Alexis W. 

13. Blue Lily Pad Wallpaper – Need some blue and white colors to wake up your plain muted furniture? “This design adds a pop inside my 1920 lead glass built in. The colors are a little softer than they looked, but liked it better. Almost looks like soft denim. I really love the way the blues play against the white.” – Elizabeth M.

14. Hygge Fern Damask Wallpaper – This bold navy leafy print never gets old and matches with any classy decor, especially with wood furniture. ”Easy to install. Great quality. Looks awesome on the back of my bookshelves. Nice clear print.” – Alyssa B.

15. Jungle Green Tropical Wallpaper – Decorate your home like a Hawaii hotel suite. Add a splash of nature to your boring white walls. “I found it easier to roll down on the wall and cut to fit versus cutting the paper first. Worth it for a big statement with minimal cost.” – Jessica B.

16. Feather Flock Wallpaper – This denim textured bird wallpaper adds depth and interest to your interior and provides a beautiful pop of color to your walls. “Love this product, looks fantastic in our ensuite.” – Jane D.

17. Grey Breezy Wallpaper – A subtle silhouette of leaves creates the perfect modern design for any room. “Once I got the first strip on, it was smooth sailing from there. The print is gorgeous and the paper is nice and thick.” – Erica M.

18. Gold Dream Big Wallpaper – Like they say, the writings on the wall. Literally. This beautiful print is a great reminder to stay motivated. “Not only is the script inspiring, it’s playful. My family enjoyed it because they said they have something to read while they’re in the bathroom. Lol…’ – Jennifer J.

19. Matte Black Wallpaper – This is a professional design and can make a bold statement in any room. It creates a nice clean backdrop and allows the pieces in the room to stand out more. “We rent and didn’t want to paint the wall such a dark color. This worked out beautifully! The adhesive was great and we were even able to pull it off a few times to adhere it to where we wanted it.” – Jacquelyn L. 

20. Navy Poplin Texture Wallpaper – Much like a tweed design, this print adds texture to any surface. “The wall I was covering had previously been covered with regular wallpaper and tearing that down revealed rough walls covered with glue and peeling paint. I chose this paper because you can’t see any of the paint colors through the paper and it covered the imperfections really well.” – Elyse P.

21. Modern Circle Oval Stripe Wallpaper – This funky black and white print is fun and works well with a minimalist theme. “It was a little tough to match pieces together (both of my projects were 2 rolls in width), if you look closely you can see the imperfections but the design has a lot going on so if you match up the lines, the rest kind of just does it’s own thing and it’s all good.” – Jamie L.

22. Blue Florentine Tile – If you’re looking for a warm homey Spanish-inspired tile, this one is a pure favorite. “I love this in my kitchen. I used it for a different backsplash. Great quality for price.” – Jennifer L.

23. Morrocan Style Wallpaper – Experience the Mediterranean life at home with this multi-colored matted print. It has a fun vintage vibe. “It looks great, and really adds a nice feeling of home to the kitchen. If you take proper measurements and do some quick cleaning beforehand, it comes together in no time at all. Sure beats trying to spend hours tiling.” – Ryan G.

24. Summer Love Teal Wallpaper – Wow your guests with this piece. These neon colors pop giving life to any room. “The color is beautiful. I plan on picking up a color from this paper and painting the rest of the bathroom in it. Going to look amazing. I think this is a very classy looking pattern. It took nearly 3 rolls to do these two small walls. I wish I had bought more. All in all, I’m happy with it.” – Nicole B.

25. Grey Charisma Wallpaper – The ombre-patterned design is unique and it provides a warm neutral tone to any environment. “This particular paper has the most beautiful pattern that will match almost any gray you have. I thought it was going to be very subtle, but the overall effect is quite stunning without being overwhelming. I really love it.” – C.J. Harris

Applying peel-and-stick wallpaper is easy and one of the most rewarding DIY projects that you will feel the most proud of. All of these removable wallpapers I’ve mentioned can also be used on other surfaces like countertops, tables, shelving, or even books! They are all easy to install and won’t get messy. No pastes or glues needed, and no residue is left behind. Many people recommend getting a partner to assist because it makes the process a lot faster; however, doing it solo is just as possible! Make sure to research beforehand especially if this is your first time putting up wallpaper.
