Gluing instead of pasting: The triumph of self-adhesive wallpaper

Wallpaper paste, wallpapering table, drips on the floor, air bubbles behind the wallpaper... Sound familiar? Then now's the time to rethink—and, above all, re-glue.

Self-adhesive wallpapers are the modern game-changer in wall design. Simply peel and press – done! No mess, no waiting, no professional required. Just you, your wall, and your personal style.

But what's behind the trend? Why are self-adhesive wallpapers so popular right now—and who are they particularly suitable for?

What are self-adhesive wallpapers?

Self-adhesive wallpapers (also called peel & stick or removable wallpaper) consist of a strong, high-quality film or fleece that is coated on the back with a strong, repositionable adhesive .

The application is very simple:
Roll out → peel off the backing → press it onto the wall – done!

No glue, no tools, no waiting time. And best of all: Most can be removed without leaving any residue —ideal for renters, those moving, and creative souls.

Where does the trend come from?

The boom in self-adhesive wallpaper – like many interior innovations – originated in the USA. Years ago, people there recognized that people want to be able to change their homes quickly, flexibly, and individually . Ideally, without the need for tradespeople or the stress of renovation.

Advances in digital printing also open up countless design possibilities. A simple wallpaper can now become a true work of art—with razor-sharp motifs, brilliant colors, and surfaces that resemble concrete, linen, wood, or marble.

This is how an emergency solution for rental apartments became a real lifestyle trend.
