Making a rental home feel like home means tackling every inch of space available. Peel-and-stick wallpaper is a perfect way to add personality to a bland space, even if it might be temporary. Be sure to prep properly and avoid installing paper over textured walls. Choose a quality wallpaper that isn’t too flimsy and keep your vibe in mind. Going for kitsch? A bunch of bananas are fun. In your adult phase? A more grown-up modern abstract print might be for you. And the great news for renters: Today’s better wallpaper won’t leave behind a sticky residue.
Trends You’ll See Everywhere in 2025, According to Pinterest

Global Gumption
Your work-from-home setup needn’t be boring. Dream up your next vacation spot with Rifle Paper’s City Maps Wallpaper. The cutie-patootie paper features iconic destinations from New York to Tokyo. It sure is a much more inspiring view instead of a painted wall.

Bedroom Daze
Bedroom dull? Give it magic with a moody wallpaper. We are loving the warm, earthy tones of this abstract pattern, Asana from Rebel Walls. To make life easier, Katie Hunt of Katie’s Wallpaper Installation (the expert behind this bedroom) recommends the Roman E-Z Hang (a spray-on formula) for peel-and-stick applications.

Pretty in Pink
Richly toned peel-and-stick wallpaper is a great way to add dimension and warmth to a room in a snap. Case in point: This botanical beauty of a living room showcasing Paradis, Chasing Paper’s collab with Far Studio. The stain-resistant paper is eco-friendly and sturdy. And how amazing is the tone-on-tone hues in this room?

Fresh Florals
It may be frosty outside, but it’s florals all day indoors with Rifle Paper’s vivid blooms. The brand’s Garden Party peel-and-stick wallpaper is an invitation to bring a foyer to life in your rental pad, or anywhere really. A little goes a long way!

Funky Fun
You’re not a boring person, so don’t let your walls bring you down. One immediate solution is to “add to cart” Jamboree. The print featuring folks on roller skates and listening to boom boxes via Otto Studio is part of the Uzo Njoku collection. Uzo, a visual artist, is known for her jazzy patterns and will have you dancing around your apartment in no time.

Feeling Dotty
Add zippy fun to your home office with this fresh, gold-dotted peel-and-stick wallpaper RoomMates from Rona. The easy-to-install paper can be repositioned into place, and it doesn’t leave a tacky residue — perfect for a rental!

Foyer Pick-Me-Up
With its nostalgic feel, these clusters of peachy-orangy hand-drawn flowers are meant to brighten any spot in your home that needs an uplift. The Orange Meadow Floral Wallpaper from West Coast Walls is made of vinyl, and each flower is four inches tall.

Breezy Blue
As temporary decorating solutions go, this one deserves top marks. Just imagine: You get the look of vintage Mediterranean tile by peeling and sticking up this lovely RoomMates wallpaper from RONA. Instant gratification!

Laundry Love
If there’s one space that could use some cheerful view, it’s the laundry room. That humble space with the seemingly never-ending pile of clothes. We are digging the on-trend ochre and earthy hue of this customizable paper from West Coast Walls.

Loo La La!
York Wallcoverings’ Jungle Toile wallpaper adds pizzazz to the powder room. The paper features realistic renditions of lions, parrots, trees and other flora and fauna lazing about. And, yes, peel-and-stick wallpaper is perfectly fine in a bathroom setting, says this bathroom’s installer Katie Hunt of Katie’s Wallpaper Installation.

Bold Blooms
An energizing entry, a bathroom backdrop, or some living room love. Whichever way you go, this gloriously bright peel-and-stick Flower Frenzy wallpaper from Otto Studio — the contemporary wallpaper brand you need in your life — lifts any room out of the doldrums.

Dine in Style
Living in a small rental space? Perk up the dining area or kitchen nook with dramatic wallpaper. This Marimekko Taupe Puketti Peel & Stick Wallpaper from Home Depot sports shapely white-petalled flowers with baby blue centres.
