Living in New York city can be a decorating dilemma....especially if you are renting.
You basically have to ask your leasing office or landlord for permission before you can change anything inside your apartment. So, unless you re-arranging furniture, you need to think twice.
This applies to painting walls - you have to paint it back to the original color... & who wants to be painting before they move?!? Not me.
With that said, when we move into our new apartment next month, we are considering adding removable wallpaper. I say removable wallpaper because I don't want any drywall ripping off - know what I mean? I'm not sure how temporary wallpaper will look & hold up, but love the idea of adding a patterned wall to the entryway. This would be ideal because we could just take it down easily without causing any damage to the walls. I found some great resources on Etsy for removable wallpaper, here are some of my favorites.
Which do you like?? Have you used removable wallpaper??
chevron blk and white | Chevron bold gold & white | trellis black | pink dots | dots ikat | black and white trellis
B/W is a winning look!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's great. I didn't know that those removable wallpapers exist! Need to search here in our hobby shops for it, I have an idea of one corner in our living room with some pattern, so this is very good tip. Thanks a lot =)

Goood morning Jen! I love both of the chevron prints, especially because the lines are different thickness. I would LOVE to wallpaper the back wall in our dining room, but I have always been so scared to try. Knowing me, it would end up being a tad bit crooked. Can't wait to see what you pick :)

Love your choice!! I actually just tried out removable wallpaper recently - it was so much easier than I thought it would be, after watching a 20 minute youtube video of course.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your results

I have never heard of removable wallpaper! I love this! My husband & I have recently purchased a home and this would be perfect since I am indecisive on what color to commit to!

I have never heard of removable wallpaper before! I think it's a great idea. I like the white and black chevron stripes best. If you do end up trying it, please let us know what you think and how it holds up!
