Peel

Jun 22, 2023

Growing little ones means that things will change fast in your home — including the function and design of rooms. That's why peel-and-stick wallpaper is an excellent option whether you rent your home, or just know that the nursery will need updating as your child grows.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is a great choice any time you want to make design changes that aren't going to be for the long haul. It can be easily installed and removed without damaging the underlying walls, making it a popular choice for nursery rooms that need to grow with the little one's changing taste. Peel-and-stick is self-adhesive and a breeze to remove (say bye to messy glues, which makes traditional wallpaper a pain to switch up).

Whether you’re creating a soft and gender-neutral nursery or a bold and bright space for your little one, here are some of our top picks for peel-and-stick wallpaper ideas that will inspire you.

Customize your little one's room with this set of peel-and-stick decals that features a large rainbow, polka dots and hearts in a variety of colours that will suit your aesthetic. What's great about decals versus sheets of wallpaper is that you can get creative with the placement, and they don't require measuring or cutting. If you have older kids, you can even get them to help with the task of placing these easy-to-remove stickers in their little siblings space.

A classic for a reason, this striped wallpaper will never go out of style in your nursery. It comes in three colours: baby blue, vanilla or grey.
