Peel-and-stick wallpaper and tiles

Great for small areas; test before you commit.

4 min read

Peel-and-stick products can transform a small space quickly. They work best in the right places and with some care.

Where it works

  • A powder room or closet
  • The back of bookshelves
  • A small accent wall
  • A backsplash away from direct heat

Tips

  • Test a piece in a hidden spot first
  • Walls must be clean, smooth and painted with a compatible finish
  • Buy enough from the same batch for the whole area, plus extra
  • Renters: ask first, as removal can pull paint
