Peel-and-stick wallpaper is a game-changer for home décor lovers, renters, and DIY enthusiasts alike. While it’s perfect for transforming an accent wall, its true magic lies in its versatility — you can use it on so much more than just walls. Whether you’re decorating a small space or refreshing your style on a budget, here are seven creative ways to use removable wallpaper in your home.

1. Refresh Your Furniture
Give an old dresser, desk, or side table new life by covering the fronts of drawers or the top surface with peel-and-stick wallpaper. It’s an instant facelift without a drop of paint.

2. Style a Statement Backsplash
In kitchens, bathrooms, or even laundry rooms, a wallpaper backsplash adds colour and personality — and it’s easy to remove when it’s time for a change.

3. Line Shelves & Cabinets
Add a pop of pattern to the back of bookshelves or inside kitchen cabinets. It’s a subtle touch that makes your storage feel polished and styled. I have plans to do this in my own kitchen! 

4. Upgrade Your Stairs
Apply wallpaper to stair risers for an unexpected, eye-catching detail. This works especially well with bold patterns or geometric designs. My stairs have gaps so if you have the ability to do this, please send pics! 

5. Create a Headboard Effect
Frame a section of wallpaper behind your bed to mimic the look of a headboard. It’s a renter-friendly way to create a focal point in the bedroom.

6. Personalize Your Workspace
Cover a desktop, filing cabinet, or the inside of a closet-turned-office nook for a custom look that keeps you inspired. I did a feature wall in my office for my zoom and google meets calls and it's the first compliment I get! 

7. Design a Photo Wall Backdrop
Perfect for parties, events, or social media moments — use wallpaper as a backdrop that you can change up anytime. A floral feature wall for an upcoming party? Say no more! 

8. Swap It Out Seasonally
Because peel-and-stick wallpaper is removable, it’s perfect for creating seasonal décor that you can refresh throughout the year. Use a wintery pattern for Christmas (like I’m doing for my holiday photoshoot this September), switch to florals for spring, or go bold and bright for summer. It’s an easy way to make your home feel festive without a big renovation. My photoshoot is September 7th so my husband will be oh-so happy with Christmas wallpaper before Halloween ;)
