Find a local design store or wallpaper store that has all the wallpaper books. Plan on spending a few hours looking through the books. If you live in a major metro area you might have a large Design Center that you can visit. Many are to-the-trade only, but will allow customers to walk through and browse. These are a great place to see wallpaper because the manufacturers will have their own showroom with large sample boards hanging on the walls for you to flip through. For example, in Los Angeles the public can walk through the showrooms at the Pacific Design Center.

You need to test samples in the space. I'm also looking for wallpaper for my powder room and some of the papers I love at the store or online, end up looking awful when I bring the samples to look at in the bathroom. Just ordered another 30 samples!

Instead of wallpapering, I’d avoid the trouble and cost, just paint a great paint color and add colorful curtains to hide the clothes. Add a large piece of art on the far wall and unique lighting in ceiling. It will be a lively space and if landlord requires, slapping on white paint before you move is pretty easy. Also replace lighting to the original and take your light with you.

Personally we have not used Peel & Stick and will not use when specifying for clients. It can be used as a quick fix or a temporary change, but the selections are very limited! You will have many more options if you search for a wallpaper that is a non-pasted, pre-pasted, OR self-adhesive material. Type II Vinyl can also be used in residential applications! It is a heavier duty type of paper. We would also recommend hiring a professional wallpaper hanger to do this job for you! Some wallpaper brands we have had great success with and would recommend include; Thibaut, A Street Prints, & Anna French. Astek has many options if you prefer a Type II Vinyl, but all the previously mentioned brands have some Type II Vinyl as well.
