Our favorite is Rifle Paper Co.’s Luxembourg Peel & Stick Wallpaper, which is easy to apply and boasts a stunning design. Scroll down for the best removable wallpapers tested by The Spruce. What’s more, this temporary wallpaper comes off effortlessly without leaving even a trace of residue. Reapplying the sheets is also easy, so don’t sweat it if you get the alignment slightly off the first time. Thanks to the high-quality, user-friendly construction, even a peel and stick novice could get it to look professional. Our tester raved about the “gorgeous, saturated design” of the semi-matte paper. Rifle is known for its floral motifs and doesn’t offer many options outside of this aesthetic. However, the beautiful colors and lively pattern are undeniably stunning yet versatile enough to work in various rooms. One roll will cover 45 square feet of wall space. This is a little more coverage than average, so the price is pretty reasonable, too. Price at time of publish: $59 Material: Non-woven paper | Roll Size: 240 x 27 inches | Coverage Per Roll: 45 square feet | Colors: Black, navy, white We wish it came in more colors but appreciate the modern yet versatile geometric print. Still, our tester awarded it a 3 for design because lining up the pattern is kind of tricky. In the end, we gave it a 4 for overall value. Price at time of publish: $29 Material: Vinyl | Roll Size: 118 x 17.7 inches, 197 x 17.7 inches, 393 x 17.7 inches | Coverage Per Roll: 14.5–48.2 square feet | Colors: Gold, silver Removal and reapplication proved to be more of a challenge here: While the paper came off pretty easily without tearing, it was harder to get it smooth and wrinkle-free the second time. Considering the high-quality design, versatile print, and generously sized rolls, however, it still earned a high mark for overall value. Price at time of publish: $35 Material: Top-coated vinyl | Roll Size: 198 x 20.5 inches, 396 x 20.5 inches | Coverage Per Roll: 28–56.4 square feet | Colors: Gray When removing this wallpaper, we found the material to be a bit delicate—you’ll need to be careful to avoid tearing it if you plan to reattach the same piece. Also, the thickness makes it somewhat hard to cut around outlets and light switches. The price per square foot is pretty steep, but all things considered, we gave this peel-and-stick wallpaper a 4 for overall value. Price at time of publish: $58 Material: Paper | Roll Size: 324 x 27 inches | Coverage Per Roll: 60 square feet | Colors: Pink, orange, deep teal, green, blue, black Patterned designs can make it hard to align wallpaper, but our tester said the adjacent panels matched up nicely with minimal fuss. The pieces also peeled off without leaving behind a residue and were easy to reapply. While there are only two colors to choose from, the modern print and neutral hues are undeniably versatile and seasonless. Price at time of publish: $35 Material: Vinyl | Roll Size: 226 x 18 inches | Coverage Per Roll: 28.3 square feet | Colors: Charcoal gray, white During testing, this wallpaper proved easy to apply, smoothing out easily with minimal bubbles or wrinkles. The highly sticky material didn’t leave a residue, but it was hard to peel off the wall without an extra hand. And while we wish the price were a bit more accessible, when compared to other options, it earned a perfect score for overall value. Price at time of publish: $80 for 2’x8’ Material: Poly-woven fabric | Roll Size: 48 x 24 inches, 96 x 24 inches, 144 x 24 inches | Coverage Per Roll: 8–24 square feet | Colors: Pink, ivory, taupe This temporary wallpaper scored 5s in all other categories, including application, removal, reapplication, and overall value. We had no issues with bubbling, and the paper did a great job concealing minor bumps and imperfections in the wall. Plus, this is one of the more reasonably priced options we tried. Price at time of publish: $37 Material: Paper | Roll Size: 198 x 20.5 inches | Coverage Per Roll: 28.2 square feet | Colors: Beige, black During testing, this temporary wallpaper proved to be a bit hard to remove and reapply. It peeled off the wall OK, but it tore slightly, and there were a few more bubbles the second time around. Still, the material smoothed back out with a squeegee. This isn’t the most beginner-friendly option, but if you can line it up on the first try, it’s an excellent choice. Price at time of publish: $19 Material: Polypropylene film | Roll Size: 20 or 100 inches wide, 48–120 inches long | Coverage Per Roll: 6.7–83 square feet | Colors: Black, white While the thick material was generally easy to work with, we gave it a 3.5 for the initial application, as there were a few wrinkles off the bat. This peel and stick wallpaper scored a 5 for removal and a 4 for reapplication: It doesn’t leave behind any residue and reattaches without a fuss. We wish it went on a bit smoother, but considering the reasonable price tag, it’s a decent value. Price at time of publish: $49 Material: Non-woven paper | Roll Size: 240 x 20.5 inches | Coverage Per Roll: 34 square feet | Colors: Charcoal, teal, green
What to Look for in Peel and Stick Removable Wall Paper
Pattern Seams
If you select a pattern that requires you to line up the edge of the pattern with its neighboring sheet precisely, it will take more time, effort, and possibly more wallpaper. Other patterns have a bit more randomness and will be easier to install. Other peel and stick options are more like a mural, where seams aren’t a concern at all.
Material and Finish
Most peel and stick wallpapers are made from vinyl, but vinyl is available in a range of finishes. You’ll want to decide if you want wallpaper with some shine or if you prefer a matte finish. If you don’t want vinyl, Chasing Paper makes PVC-free peel and stick options.
Roll Size
You’ll want to measure your walls to determine how much removable wallpaper to order. If you’ve got a lot of wall space to cover, you may want to look for options that come in wider rolls. Some brands even offer custom-sized options.
