Best Reusable Wallpaper + Where To Use It
Whether you’re a commitment-phobe, a college student, or a renter, reusable wallpaper adds personality to your space. It’s also convenient, as temporary wallpaper is easy to take down when it’s time to move.
Removable wallpaper can be easily applied on your own, and you won’t be at risk of losing your security deposit. Plus, it’s also economically efficient, as it’s more affordable than hiring a professional.
Because it’s an option that’s easy to take down, removable paper is a solution that’s both amazing and affordable for renters or even students in college. (Or if you would simply like a change that can be easily peeled off when you’re ready to try something new again.)
Otherwise known as temporary or peel-and-stick wallpaper, this wallpaper is quickly becoming a growing trend in home design.
There are so many options that it can become quite a mission to decide which one is best for you. Here are some tips on how to select the right wallpaper for you:
- If you’re a first-time temporary wallpaper installer, opt for a design that’s stick-and-peel so that you don’t have to add in the adhesive yourself.
- Choose a good quality paper that’s a bit weighted and not overly sticky.
- Look for a temporary wallpaper that’s reusable in order to benefit from your investment and be environmentally friendly.
- Select a pattern that is forgiving enough to hide any imperfections.
- Patterns with straight lines may be more challenging to apply than ones with a whimsical print.
