Renter Friendly Wallpaper

Renter friendly wallpaper has one job beyond looking good: it has to leave when you do. Our peel and stick panels go up with no paste and no water, and on a smooth, painted wall in good condition they come off without leaving glue behind. That makes them a fair way to make a rental feel like yours.

Two cautions keep your deposit safe. Fresh paint needs about two weeks to cure before anything sticks to it, and textured, flaking or unsealed walls can lift paint when a panel is removed. If you are not sure about your walls, order a sample first and test it on a hidden spot for a few days. We cover all of this in our renter friendly wallpaper guide.

Start with one wall: behind the bed, behind the sofa, or a hallway nook. Many renters go for floral wallpaper or a grasscloth look because both soften a plain white box without needing new furniture.
