10 Renter-Friendly Wallpaper Ideas to Liven Up Your Space

Osecage Store Modern Stripe Peel and Stick Wallpaper ($6-$29, or $1/square foot)

This modern peel and stick wallpaper on Amazon is great for those not looking to spend an arm and a leg. It comes in four size variations (all of which remain under $1 per square foot) and three palatable color options. The geometric pattern would look great in a bathroom, kids room, or as a kitchen backsplash, but you can even use it to dress up a piece of furniture, like a dresser that might be in need of sprucing.

Livette's Wallpaper Pink Retro Chic Removable Wallpaper ($75-$117)

Sky's the limit with this retro-chic wallpaper. There are 29 colors available (from muted pastels to rich watercolors), and shoppers are also in charge of choosing the color of the background and bubble pattern. (We love being able to customize.) Aside from this, the company offers this print in four sizes, plus the option for purchasing a $10 sample to ensure it fits with your style.

Haimin Grasscloth Textured Wallpaper ($1/square foot)

This grasscloth wallpaper is textured, which can really elevate a space and evoke a five-star hotel feel. Installation of this peel and stick wallpaper from Amazon couldn't be easier because it doesn't have a horizontal or printed pattern, so you won't have to spend time or energy lining up the design. Plus, it's gridded on the back, which makes it easy to cut and measure.

Nikki Chu Peel & Stick Abstract Roll ($2/square foot)

Abstract wallpaper prints can be too busy to seamlessly incorporate into the existing design of your home, but this one from Nikki Chu is so sleek. Great for updating a bedroom or creating a statement wall in your living space, the wallpaper is inspired by South African tribal designs with its jute-like, rope-effect motif. While it may take some time getting the patterns to line up as you stick it onto the wall, it's well worth the effort if adding a cool and contemporary flair to your walls is the end goal.

Rewallpaper Store Vintage Gold Floral Wallpaper ($1/square foot)

Made out of high-quality vinyl, a vintage-inspired wallpaper like this one from Rewallpaper Store can be used in a lot of places. Yes, you can use it on your walls and ceilings, but it also makes for an excellent backsplash for your china cabinet or even as contact paper for quite literally anything, like a linen closet or laptop. The green-gold color scheme will complement most existing palettes, too.

Red Barrel Studio Peel and Stick Wallpaper Tile ($11-$146)

We think the bathroom is a great room to get adventurous with the walls: it's a space that's smaller compared to other areas in the home and can make a bold print, like this one from Red Barrel Studio, a bit more digestible. This easy-to-apply option is one of the best peel and stick wallpapers for an accent wall. Choose from one of the three pops of color that includes orange, blue, and green.

Graham & Brown Striped Double Roll ($2/square foot)

Part of the reason we love the Graham & Brown Striped Double Roll is that the stripes are thicker and decently spaced out, which avoids headaches for you or your houseguests. The olive tone gives it an edge compared to a neutral or overly saturated color, and, of course, the fact that you can easily stick it on and remove it come move-out day makes it a winner for renters.
