Temporary Wallpaper

Temporary wallpaper is a peel-and-stick wall covering that goes straight onto smooth interior walls. No paste, no water, nothing more than a ruler, a smoother, and a sharp blade to trim the edges. When you want a fresh look, you pull it down and the wall underneath is fine.

Every design in our renter friendly wallpaper collection is made to measure and priced by the square metre, so the panel arrives cut to the size of your actual wall. That's a big deal if you live in an older UK home where the walls are almost never square. A chimney-breast alcove in a Victorian terrace in Bristol, a narrow hallway wall in a London flat, a full feature wall in a Manchester loft conversion. Same product, totally different dimensions, no standard roll to stretch or cut down.

Renter-Friendly Temporary Wallpaper for UK Homes

If you're renting, this is the easiest decor win going. The adhesive sits on painted plaster without pulling it up when you take it down later, so your deposit stays where it belongs. It works well in short lets, shared houses, and student digs in places like Edinburgh or Nottingham where you're only in the room for a year anyway.

And one more thing worth mentioning: you can lift and reposition the panel while you're putting it up. So if you get the first corner slightly off, it's not a disaster. You just peel it back a few inches and try again.

Custom Size Temporary Wallpaper for Every Wall

You enter the width and height at checkout, and the design prints to fit. No working out how many drops you need, no awkward pattern joins halfway up the wall, no offcuts sitting in the bin afterwards. The same made-to-measure approach runs through our self adhesive wallpaper range as well, if you prefer a finish built for longer installs.

The collection itself covers a lot of ground. Florals, botanicals, abstract prints, cityscapes, painterly landscapes, a fair bit of everything in between. If you want something calmer for a home-office backdrop or behind a bedroom headboard, there's plenty. If you want a proper bedroom accent wall that grabs attention when you walk into the room, also plenty. Browse the full range of removable wallpaper in your chosen dimensions.

How to Install and Remove Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Most people get it up in an afternoon. Peel back the first ten centimetres or so of the backing, line up the top edge, press down, and then work your way outwards from the middle with a smoother as you pull the rest of the backing away. Trim the bottom with a sharp blade against a ruler.

Taking it down later is even easier. Start at a top corner, pull slowly at a shallow angle, and the peel and stick wallpaper lifts away in one piece on most normal painted walls.

FAQs

Which materials is best for wallpaper?

How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?

How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?

How long can it stay on the wall?

As long as you need, from one season to several years. On smooth, cured paint in a dry room, it holds its grip and color well. Take it down whenever your plans change.

Is it allowed in college dorm rooms?

Many schools allow adhesive decor, but rules vary. Check your housing guide before you order. Painted block walls need to be smooth and clean for a firm hold.

What is the difference between temporary and traditional wallpaper?

Temporary designs stick on with a ready adhesive back and peel off later. Traditional paper needs paste and often needs scoring or steaming to remove. Temporary options suit renters, short stays, and anyone who likes change.

Can I change the design every season?

Yes. Take the current panels down slowly, wipe the wall, and hang the next design. Order your temporary wallpaper at the same wall size to make each swap quick.

Can I hang it around outlets and light switches?

Yes. Switch off the power, remove the cover plate, and hang the panel over the opening. Cut a small X to expose it, trim the flaps, and replace the plate.

Will a feature wall help my home photograph better for a sale?

Often, yes. A single feature wall gives listing photos a clear focal point. Choose calm, neutral designs, and take it down before closing if the buyer prefers plain walls.
