Real Room Inspiration: Decals, Removable Wallpaper, Washi Tape & Contact Paper
Whether you’re a renter, a non-committal type of person, or have growing kids that like to change their minds often, there are plenty of reasons to explore the option of temporary wall decor. It can also be very affordable, depending on which route you go and how creative you get. Here are ten examples of how you can use decals, removable wallpaper, washi tape, or contact paper in your space.
In most cases, using these forms of temporary wall decor is a way to add some playful or colorful interest to a space. They are especially great for nurseries and children’s rooms because of the bold colors, but most importantly, they can easily change as the little one grows up. For teenagers, it’s a great way to really infuse their personality into their space. And for the rest of us grown-ups, it’s just a great way to have some fun, no strings attached.
