Wallpapering a room has always felt like one of those projects — beautiful in theory, but daunting enough to keep putting off. Between the cost of hiring someone and the risk of getting it wrong yourself, it's easy to see why so many rooms stay painted a safe, neutral year after year. Peel and stick has changed that. With so many patterns now available, from delicate shell trellis to playful painted fish, wallpaper is finally an approachable weekend project instead of a professional job.
As the busy summer season winds down, this is the perfect time to think about a room refresh, whether that means getting a space ready for holiday entertaining or simply adding a little more personality to a summer cottage.
Classic scallop shells framed in a coral trellis, this blue and white peel and stick pattern feels more heirloom than trendy. Pretty on a bedroom accent wall or a small powder room.
Orange koi with the look of a hand painted illustration swim across a soft sky blue background, artistic rather than themed. A nice fit for a hallway, dining nook, or any room ready for a little more personality.
Lobsters with the look of a stamped block print bring easy, seaside charm in burnt orange and cream. Also available in ocean blue, soft grey blue, and pink.
A school of fish in a bright, illustrated style gives this mural a retro tropical feel. A fun statement in a powder room or bathroom, especially with vintage fixtures.
Fish rendered in fine navy line art on warm cream, playful but still sophisticated. Works well in a bedroom, entryway, or home office.
If you've never tried peel and stick before:
A powder room is a good first time project. It's small enough to finish in a weekend but still makes a real impact. If that feels like too much to start, try an accent wall instead.
And if you want to test the waters before committing to a wall at all, a couple of small DIY projects are worth trying. Papering stair risers is a favorite for exactly this reason, quick to do and easy to live with since it's not permanent. A wallpaper lined serving tray is another simple option, and a fun one to give as a gift.
There are also plenty of good tutorials on YouTube covering installing peel and stick wallpaper, including the tools you'll need and the hanging process itself, which is the trickiest part to get right. So it's worth doing a little research before diving in. The results will show that you did.
