I used a peel and stick pattern on the front of one of my staircases.  It was pretty easy to do and it looks great. I don't know how hard it is to remove because I haven't tried.

It's easy to put on and just as easy to take off,  start in a corner and pull the paper away from the wall at a 45 degree angle!

Sounds interesting peel and stick wallpaper. I am not sure how easy it is to use and wonder how long it would last.

We have wallpaper borders in our entrance way and in the master and guest bedrooms. It was easy to put up; we have not tried to take down so don't know how much of a challenge that might be.

Growing up, walls were always wallpapered if not painted.

I have never used that product before but I have used contact paper which seems like the same thing.  It doesn't seems like something I would put on a major portion of my wall.  When it is time to take it down, the film left on the wall will take a lot of time to get off

My husband just got some of this last week to use on our bar in the basement and to cover up some paneling. He said it was pretty easy.

I am not a fan of Wallpaper. I think that paint, alone, can bring in a room's personality much better. For instance: the study that I currently work in was originally aubergine with an orange peel texture, accentuated with a gaudy strip of book shelf wall paper. When we moved in I saw my production decrease. I spoke with my business coach and she analyzed all that I was doing for a week without finding any procedural problems. She asked to come and see my work environment and immediately recommended having the wallpaper taken down and the room painted a lighter shade of taupe explaining that the morbid color and tacky wallpaper were creating a distraction and more of a somber move-not conducive to production. I complied and, within one week saw my production level not only return to normal but exceed previous high periods at a time that had typically been a little slower.

I have put some up in the hall and it has stayed stuck for about ten years so it may be hard to get off.
