If you want an affordable, non-PVC wallpaper in vintage-inspired patterns: Astek Home stood out for its selection of unique and vintage-inspired styles. Unlike many wallpaper brands, Tempaper offers returns (minus a restocking fee). And even though vinyl can be prone to creasing if it’s handled too much, we found it was possible to reposition and correct for mistakes when we worked in small sections during installation. Tempaper comes in a range of finishes, from matte-smooth with a slight sheen to metallic (depending on the style), and the print quality was crisp and consistent across samples. (The company recommends applying Tempaper with a squeegee, to reduce the chance of any lifting and bubbling.) We still think Tempaper is a decent choice, especially if you want lots of styles to choose from (there are 265 patterns, a number of which are collaborations with designers). But we subtracted points for ease of application, as well as the fact that one of the panels we applied in the kitchen lifted in one corner after a couple of very hot weeks (though this may be because it was located a couple feet from a stove). Once installed, the samples we tested did not have the cheap, plasticky look of contact paper, as some vinyl wallpapers can. If you want a wallpaper that you can view in a store before buying: Tempaper, a vinyl peel-and-stick option that came close to making our list of picks, is widely available at brick-and-mortar retailers, as well as online, so you can check it out in person. The patterns we tested were Baby Blue Lemons wallpaper, Sunny Delicate Scallop Print wallpaper in Yolk & Off White, and Greek Terrazzo wallpaper in Multicolor. This paper is also pricier than our two main picks, but we think the quality is worth it. And this one can be especially hard because of its thinness and strong adhesive you may want to consider calling a capable friend or hiring someone to help.

All wallpapers can be relatively tricky to install by yourself. This quality might also make it more likely that the wallpaper could peel paint in rooms with intense climatic conditions (rooms that get very hot or very humid) or with older paint. But the strong hold also makes it harder to correct mistakes during installation, compared with other papers we tested. The adhesive has a very strong hold, which all but guarantees the wallpaper will stay up for years to come. It is the only textile-based peel-and-stick wallpaper we tested that is Oeko-Tex–certified, which may give some people peace of mind. Its fine-webbed, non-vinyl woven material is extremely lightweight and has a refined, matte look once installed. We were impressed by Livette’s Wallpaper’s excellent print quality and designs in more than 300 patterns.
