My Once-White Box Apartment Now Looks Like a Heritage-Inspired Home Thanks to This Charming Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper – and It Only Cost Me $35
From tasteful toiles to vintage-inspired florals, these peel-and-stick wallpapers from Target are the key to creating a characterful home this fall
For months, I've been seeking out ways to add character to my new-build rental apartment. The glaringly white walls really dominate the space, and despite my best efforts to incorporate heritage-coded decor details and other charming touches, my apartment still resembles a white box.
Wallpaper seemed like the obvious solution to help enhance my space, but considering the apartment's status as a rental, I had to steer clear of the paste-applied styles I really wanted – like Lulu and Georgia's Brubeck Wallpaper or Anthropologie's Sweet Clover Wallpaper. However, I have found the perfect alternatives to nail the look renter-friendly (and with much more ease) at Target.
Hidden within the pages of Threshold's new arrivals for fall are several peel-and-stick wallpaper styles that are perfect for renters like me who want to easily and effectively bring character into their homes. With everything from ditsy florals and sleek stripes to time-worn toiles, these patterns tap into classic design trends, transforming those boring blank walls in an instant. The best part? Each roll starts at just $35.
I have my eyes on the Floral Column Textured Russet Brown Peel and Stick Wallpaper – an enduring print that I think will look perfect in my small entryway – there are so many more styles to love from this collection. Find the one that speaks to you below.
