Attention, Renters! These Temporary Wallpaper Transformations Will Inspire You to Go Bold

Diane Rath principle designer of the RATH Project Fairfield CT

The thought of redesigning our homes is always nice in theory, but in all reality, painting walls and hanging wallpaper is a task that if we regret, is not easy to undo (and not one that our landlords like to take care of, either). Luckily, temporary wallpaper is here to save the day. This sticky adhesive is great for renters and indecisives alike, because just as easy as it is to stick on, it's equally as simple to peel off. Risk-taking has never been easier, and after seeing these before and afters from our friends at Tempaper, we have an idea that you'll be feeling a bit more daring. Say goodbye to the days of neutral tones and hello to the days of bright, bold, and patterned designs with these transformation pictures ahead!
