Rental Design Hacks: Wallpaper Edition

One thing that has always been difficult for me (it's me...Megan): Being a creative person living in a small apartment. I have a lot of stuff, minimal space, and little to no free liberties as far as what I can do to really spruce up my humble abode. To say I’ve had to get innovative with my space is an understatement. Amongst my hours of scrolling through Pinterest, I stumbled across something I'm ready to try: Removable Wallpaper!

Like many, I’ve had those bad experiences with removing wallpaper. It was a nightmare and definitely not something I would willingly sign up for again. However, this is different. Just peel and stick! Sometimes white walls are just not your thing, but painting is out of the question. That’s a lot of hard work and we all know how finicky paint can be. What options do you have? This one is a game changer. It can turn any room from drab to fab in a few hours. It’s a great source of color, pattern, or just something wild and crazy if that’s what you’re looking for. Cut out the hours and hours looking for just the right paint color, no more wasting money on sample cans, and no more arm cramps. Then, if you decide to move or want a change, all you have to do is peel it off.

It can easily be used in a bedroom as an accent wall. Use it behind the bed to accent a headboard. It could even be used in place of the headboard itself, behind your dresser, or inside a closet. It can take small spaces from cramped and creepy to welcoming and warm.

Similarly to the bedroom, use it in a living room to accent your furniture or use it for that side of the room that looks like it’s missing a little something. Great for a kids play area or a separate, cozy reading space.

In a kitchen, it could take the place of a backsplash, walls near the dining table, and even dress up the underside of an eat-in bar. Installation time would be much shorter and a lot less mess.

Now I know what you’re thinking: Megan, where am I supposed to find wallpaper when I can’t even leave the house? Online! There are a lot, and I do mean A LOT, of options for online ordering. All you have to do is start your search (and please read those reviews)!

Have any of you tried removable wallpaper? I would love to hear about your experience!
