Since it’s Wallpaper Wednesday, I thought I would start talking about some of the incredible wallpapers I have throughout my home. I wanted to start with the mural from Photowall in my son’s room. And share three reasons why it’s worth investing in a peel-and-stick wallpaper, even for a teeny tiny space like my 150 square-foot room.
Adds Visual Interest
When you’re limited on square footage, an easy and affordable way to make an impact is with art. And without a doubt, the New York Skyline Collage from Photowall is a work of art in the room. When I envisioned this room, I wanted to bring a city vibe to the suburbs, and the mural was the jumping-off point for my toddler room makeover. There are so many muted colors to pull from that I used throughout the room.
Durability
A common complaint I hear from people who are hesitant to install wallpaper (especially peel-and-stick wallpaper) is whether it can withstand the day-to-day abuse from kids. And, after having it up for six months—it can. My son has thrown his milk on it, lotion has splattered on it, and toys scrape it daily. Liquid materials slide right off, and the mural remains intact. Be sure to wipe any liquids up right away to prevent any damage.
Easy to Install
It took no time to install the mural. First, every single panel is numbered—and for my accent wall, there were nine panels, and it was easy to line up. Plus, the peel & stick was forgiving, so the installers could easily move it over a little bit without the material tearing. It took them under a few hours to patch the wall and install the mural.
So, if you were on the fence before—don’t be. My Photowall delivery arrived in less than a week. You can transform any space in a short amount of time and don’t worry about the size of the room—the mural will make a statement anywhere. Check out the full-room reveal at Apartment Therapy.
