Wondering if peel and stick wallpaper is for you? In this article, we compare traditional wallpaper to peel and stick wallpaper so you can make the best decision for your home.

Are you looking to give your walls a fresh new look without the hassle of painting? Let’s talk wallpapers! Wallpapers have gained massive popularity in the recent past owing to their versatility, bringing a wide array of colors, patterns, and textures to your indoor spaces.

Traditional Wallpaper Vs. Peel and Stick Wallpaper
Peel-and-stick removable wallpaper is a newer variation of wallpaper. In this article, we examine how the two compare to help you determine your best pick for your next home makeover project.

Installation
Traditional wallpaper requires an adhesive that can either be applied to the wall or the back of the paper during wallpaper installation. Peel-and-stick wallpaper eliminates this hassle by providing an application that is just as easy as it sounds; simply peel and stick the self-adhesive wallpaper onto the wall. This makes it DIY-friendly and eliminates the a significant portion of install work. You can check out peel and stick install instructions here. Traditional wallpaper takes a little longer to install but the results are just as beautiful.

Durability
Want to wallpaper an accent wall? Traditional wallpaper is typically more durable than the peel-and-stick variety. The glue used makes the wallpaper sturdy enough to withstand elements such as heat, cold, and humidity and can easily last a decade or even more.
That said Rocky Mountain Decals peel-and-stick wallpaper, whilst sometimes referred to as temporary wallpaper, is made from premium high quality fabric with a woven texture that holds up just as well as traditional wallpaper and stays in excellent shape year after year.

Removal
Removing traditional wallpaper involves a process of spraying/steaming to loosen the glue, then tearing it off bit by bit. If you’re looking for an easily removable wallpaper for your accent wall, go for the peel-and-stick option. Its simple removal process leaves the walls intact, making it the most landlord-friendly wallpaper – tenants can beautify their walls without damaging the property.
