The growing popularity of stick-on wallpaper should not come as a surprise, as it offers many advantages compared to traditional wallpaper. The easy installation process, the ability to remove and use it again, and its cleanability make it a very attractive proposition.
Easy to install
Unlike traditional wallpaper, which requires that the wallpapering paste is either applied directly to the wall or for the wallpaper to be soaked in the paste for a specific time, peel and stick wallpaper with self-adhesive backing provides a far simpler and quicker application process. It simply needs to be placed in position and it will instantly adhere to the wall. If you are not happy with the result, you can just remove it from the wall and try again.
Removing it in a breeze
Even if traditional wallpaper has come a long way in the last couple of decades, and removing it is no longer the huge effort it once was, there is no comparison to self-adhesive wall décor. Removing a peel and stick wallpaper is a matter of minutes, not hours. It can be done with no DIY experience, leaving the wall intact and without any residue.
Use it, then re-use it somewhere else
Probably the biggest advantage of removable wallpaper is that you don’t have to commit the model you purchase to a specific wall. If you move to a different house or decide you want to use it to decorate a different wall, you can simply peel it off and re-use it later on. It’s always a good idea to keep the backing paper it came with, so you can store it safely until you need it again.
Dirt and stains can just be wiped away
No matter how careful you are, at some point you will have to deal with the fact that your beautiful wallpaper will get dirty from your children’s greasy fingerprints or just from grime accumulating over time. Peelable wall décor offers a robust surface that is resistant to most stains. Dry dirt can simply be wiped away with a damp cloth. Should you encounter a more stubborn and substantial stain, you can use a mild and non-abrasive cleaning agent.
