Peel and Stick Wallpaper Ideas

Wallpaper has been used for centuries, and the 1900s is really where the obsession took off. The Victorian Era led to hundreds of millions of wallpaper rolls sold. In the 20th century, trends turned to other wall decoration methods, but wallpaper can still be found in many homes today.

In fact, wallpaper is making a huge comeback due to its evolution into more modern methods and designs. In fact, people have gotten so creative with wallpaper that it’s no longer only a decoration method for walls.

Whether you’re looking to decorate your kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, or even your furniture, you’ll love these 15 peel and stick wallpaper ideas.

1. Peel and Stick Stone Backsplash

Jumping right into the unexpected, you can use peel and stick wallpaper as a stone backsplash. Many people choose to use stone backsplashes for kitchens and bathrooms, but the expense can be a turn-off. It is much cheaper and easier to install stone-patterned wallpaper for your backsplashes.

There are as many stone designs to choose from as there are real stone backsplashes, so you can choose any look you’re going for. The designs are also meant to appear 3D and lifelike, so you can barely tell the difference.

2. Peel and Stick Shower Tile

In the same vein, you can choose peel and stick shower tiles. These adhesive tiles are made with durable materials like vinyl and aluminum. You can achieve a tile look without going through the expensive and long process of installing real shower tiles.

Keep in mind that it is not recommended using these tiles on the floor or where water pools. If you’re using them in the shower, make sure to use them higher up on the wall where they are exposed to less water, such as the top section of the walls around your shower.

3. Floral Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Floral wallpaper used to be all the rage, and it’s likely that thinking about it conjures up memories of your parents’ or grandparents’ old houses. The newest trends however, have completely reinvented floral wallpaper to be modern and interesting.

You can try jungle-themed wallpaper, pastel watercolor looks, or even vibrant and bold graphic statement papers. Depending on the style, it can be great for a kid’s room, play room, or even more elegant recreational areas that need an extra oomph, such as with a green aesthetic.

4. Peel and Stick Bedroom Wallpaper

When you’re trying to increase your property value, one of the best places to focus is the master suite. Even the smallest, most affordable details can turn a basic bedroom into a relaxing spa retreat. Adding a resort feel to your master bedroom can make buyers go wild, or even just help you relax after a long day.

There are so many great peel and stick wallpaper options for your bedroom to achieve this look. You can try sticking to a theme, like a bamboo forest. Or, you can try subtle and elegant patterns and colors.

If you’re looking for something else that makes you feel at home, you can try the look of a Parisian apartment or use luxurious jewel tones and geometric patterns. Choose whatever makes you happy when you finally retire for the day.

5. Peel and Stick Wallpaper for Kitchen

Another great place to upgrade to improve property value is definitely your kitchen. The kitchen is often the place where friends and families gather, and in more modern homes, it is open and centered in the house. Showing off your kitchen is easy with peel and stick wallpaper.

Most of the time, people want their kitchens to feel light and airy. Using very light colors and sleek lines can help the kitchen feel bigger and cleaner. There are so many great wallpaper designs that stick with whites, creams, or grays and only subtly use patterns or accents.

You can also try only applying wallpaper in small spaces to act as accents, such as your backsplash or only a section of your walls.

6. Peel and Stick Accent Wall

Some more dramatic designs of peel and stick wallpaper can be irresistible, but you’re not always sure if it will work well in your home. You might not feel comfortable applying these dramatic colors and patterns onto several large walls, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the design. Using an accent wall is a great way to add visual interest into a space without overwhelming it.

Make sure your other walls have a complementary paint color, and then bedazzle guests with your bold statement wall.

7. Peel and Stick Ceiling

When we ditched popcorn ceilings, many believed it would be the last time they ever did something bold up there. In general, many homes now have flat, neutral painted ceilings.  This can get boring, and more luxury homes are now adding coffered ceilings and fake beams for interest.

To get the look of an expensive home without the cost, you can use peel and stick wallpaper on your ceilings. You can add luxe designs to your bedroom or living room ceilings for visual interest.

Kids will also love this idea if you add a starry night sky, for instance, above their heads when they sleep.

8. Improve The Look of Your Fireplace

If your home came with a fireplace, you’re already a lucky homeowner. Fireplaces are both functional and beautiful, especially if you take care of them. If you’ve updated the rest of your home and your fireplace is looking outdated, a great way to freshen it up is with peel and stick wallpaper.

You can use wallpaper to add a new look to your fireplace, whether it’s on the mantel, header, legs, or the entire thing. Try painting the fireplace and using the wallpaper for a pop of color or an accent design.

9. Peel and Stick Wallpaper Above Your Chair Rail

A great way to add interest to your walls is to add a chair rail, but you can upgrade even more by adding wallpaper as well. A chair rail will help lessen the amount of wall space that is open for wallpaper, so you can use a more dramatic design without overwhelming the room if you wish.

If you do it right, you can make your walls look taller and your room grander.

10. Peel and Stick Murals

If you love art, but don’t want to buy several separate pieces to frame and hang, then you can use peel and stick wallpaper for your art fix instead. You can buy mural wallpaper that allows you to simply stick on an art piece in minutes.

You can do this for kids’ rooms, too, where children might enjoy looking at their favorite characters, animals, or scenes.

11. Define Your Reading Nook

If you have a little nook in your home, whether it’s a bay window, booth, or reading nook, you can add interest with peel and stick wallpaper. In a small space, you can go big to highlight this awesome feature in your home. Just line the walls within the nook only and leave the rest of the walls plain.

12. Add Decoration To Tight Spots

In some homes, unusual design features and architecture can leave spots looking awkward. It’s often hard to decorate these spots or add something that improves the space. Peel and stick wallpaper is versatile and can be cut to any shape you need.

If the stairs have cut the wall at an awkward angle or left a weird corner, you can use peel and stick wallpaper to decorate this area without jamming furniture or decorations there.

13. Spruce Up a Kitchen Island

Another great spot to add some visual interest is on a kitchen island. If your island is looking bland, you don’t need to shell out the money for stone, tile, or wood. Instead, line the sides with a wallpaper design of your choosing. You can even give the impression of stone, tile, and wood if you want.

14. Give Your Headboard New Life

When you walk into a bedroom, what’s the first thing you see? It’s most likely the bed. When visitors or potential buyers walk into a room, you want them to be impressed with how decoration and furniture can level up the space.

By adding wallpaper to your headboard, you can go from drab to fabulous. A plain, wooden headboard can suddenly add a pop of color or beautiful pattern to the room.

15. Decorate Furniture Drawers and Doors

Finally, take this headboard inspiration and spread it to the rest of the furniture. Do you have an old dresser, nightstand, or hutch that needs refreshing? You can add wallpaper to the drawers or doors while leaving the rest of the furniture plain.

Impress House Guests With New Designs
