Brighten Your Home With These Eco-Friendly Removable Wallpapers
Patterns To Peel & Stick
When looking to spruce up a room in our house quickly or add some flair to our leased apartment, removable wallpaper is our go-to.
Unfortunately, most contain toxins, ranging from dangerous volatile organic compound (VOC) levels in ink to PVC in vinyl. Some also include mercury, cadmium, and lead, all of which can be harmful to our health over the long term. No, thank you!
So, we’ve found eco-friendly removable wallpapers that are free of those toxins and chemicals while staying simple and stylish. Most carry a wide variety of patterns and pricing, as well as smaller samples to test before you commit. Say goodbye to repainting or fixing damaged walls from regular wallpaper and say hello to “peel, stick, enjoy.”
Redoing your entire space? Check out our suggestions for eco-friendly furniture and nontoxic rugs. (And if you are hoping to paint, here are our favorite eco-friendly paints!)
