Peel-and-stick wallpaper, also known as removable wallpaper, is a less permanent version of traditional wallpaper. While all wallpaper is of course removable, peel-and-stick is easy to take off and doesn't damage walls in the process. Traditional wallpaper uses a paste to adhere to the wall, while removable paper is self-adhesive, meaning the backing is ready to put directly on the wall and requires no drying time.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is perfect for rental or temporary spaces, and great if you want to test out a bolder pattern without any long-term commitment. Removable paper also tends to be more affordable, so replacing it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Most importantly, it looks great once installed and comes in a huge variety of shades and patterns.

When deciding if peel-and-stick is right for your space, it's also important to look at the potential downsides. Since this paper is made for easy removal, it won't be quite as durable as traditional wallpaper and can be a little more susceptible to the elements, like heat and moisture. In terms of installation, some say traditional wallpaper is an easier process since the paste doesn't dry right away, allowing more time to readjust the alignment. Other DIYers find peel-and-stick tiles much less intimidating.

The two main ways to purchase removable wallpaper are in rolls and panels. This doesn't have a whole lot to do with the final result, but should be considered when figuring out how much paper to purchase or if you'll need to match up the pattern across multiple pieces (as well as your general plan for installation).

There isn't one type of good peel-and-stick wallpaper. It's all about what specifically you're looking for. Be sure to check which surfaces the paper best adheres to, the material's resistance to moisture, its ability to be reused (if that's a requirement for you), and how easily it can be cleaned. All these factors tie into the durability of the paper and will help you figure out the perfect one for your space. To narrow it down a bit, here are 23 of the most aesthetically beautiful, and reliable, removable wallpapers.
