Roundup: Temporary Wallpaper

012109_wall.jpgYesterday we talked about how to make your own custom removable wallpaper using lightweight fabric and starch. Some of you balked. For those that had terrible visions of a starch stained room and a lost weekend, here's a roundup of ready to go wallpapers that are guaranteed to remove without a trace when you move:

Do you know of another resource for temporary or removable wallpapers?

First to you question here is another website where you can buy them:

Second, I used to really hate wallpapers and removed all of them when we bought our current house (an old couple used to live here)...
Now I'm learning to like them because you can find some very modern ones that look really cool.

Here is what Kit Pollard wrote about them:

I really like the one in the dining room there (by Blacksheep) and may even consider something similar for my dining room :-)

The "paste the wall" wallpapers from Graham & Brown are easy to put up and much, much easier to remove than traditional paper. Wouldn't necessarily call them "temporary", but it's close -- and they've got plenty of great (and modern!) options.

We applied Tempaper to the walls of our guest bathroom, right over the 80's flame-stitch wallpaper and with great success. Couldn't have been easier. And it's exactly like really nice contact paper, if by really nice contact paper you mean no one would ever guess it's not traditional paste and pattern. I'd never have tried to actually wallpaper this bathroom -- it's so small, we'd rather wrestle cats in there -- but this product is easy to handle and can be flawlessly applied. Honest. And affordable -- we used exactly one roll, at a cost of $80.
