Maybe it’s because everyone’s finally bored with minimalist design or maybe it’s because of our generation’s fondness for Wes Anderson films, but wallpaper is making a very loud comeback.

And since it’s more difficult than ever to buy a home, companies have adapted. Enter removable, temporary wallpaper.

Design by Dana Davenport

Now to be clear, hanging this renter-friendly type of wallpaper isn’t easy, and the project is probably going to cost more than you expect it to. But once you make peace with those two facts, you can get to the fun part: choosing your design.

Read the instructions carefully

All of the wallpapers below are considered “removable,” which means they shouldn’t damage your paint job or walls when you take it down, but only if you follow their instructions. For example, many of these wallpapers won’t work on textured surfaces. Make sure to read every last word of the installation guide so you don’t jeopardize your security deposit.

How we chose each product

We prioritized brands that provide thorough installation instructions and have overall satisfied customer reviews. (If we came across frequent comments about lack of quality or adhesive issues, we nixed them from the list.)

Beyond that, brands landed on our list for being both affordable and having an original sense of style.

Price guide

Most brands sell their products in different quantities, which makes it hard to easily compare one to the other. To make it easier on you, we calculated the rough average cost per square foot. Note that depending on which design you buy, price might vary a little.

Prices are per square foot:

$ = under $2
$$ = $2–$4
$$$ = over $4

Best for the price: Tempaper

Tempaper hits the sweet spot for chic-looking removable wallpaper that won’t make you have to recalculate your budget for the month. We’re especially enthused about their creative designs, like these cute dinosaurs and this astrology pattern.

According to this writer for Business Insider who installed Tempaper in her home, it wasn’t super easy but the results made it worthwhile.
