Temporary Pizzazz

Wallpaper is a trend that will still be huge in 2011, mainly with the big surge of companies coming out with new prints and fun alternatives like Tempaper. This vinyl coated self-adhesive wall decor was created out of the frustrations of set decorators in New York City who didn't have a source for temporary wallpaper that could be easily repositioned. So for them Tempaper became the apparent solution to many design problems and a fun option to decorating homes. Although not your typical wallpaper, it is printed with traditional techniques and state of the art materials to bring a classic look and feel of conventional wallpaper. It's ideal for those living in rented places where you can add some razzle-dazzle to your walls without being permanent. I recently used it in a client's home and it's phenomenal!

I'm MADLY in love with that last wallpaper (the maroon and sky blue art deco)---where is it from? i MUST have it!!! I'm picturing maroon on the walls and sky blue comforter with this paper on the front of drawers in the dresser! I would also include this as a matte or frame covering for photo frames on shelves. So many ideas...please help :)

Hi Stephanie,
I'm glad you love them, I do too!...and the one you chose is great. If you're thinking of using in it your room, I would recommend only doing it on the dresser drawers because otherwise might be a little distracting. As far as the colors, the combo of the maroon and light blue will look awesome.
You can find the paper in this link:

Hope this helps!

You can do something similar with GLOS. It's not paper based, but it is patterned, temporary coverings you can apply to all kinds of things like doors, cabinets, furniture. I don't think you would do a wall with it unless it was super smooth. But instead of the wall you could do kitchen cabinets. And then you can just remove it and put up something different. They don't use glue, so there's no mess. You just peel them off. Check it out:

They have a video showing people putting it on on. It's crazy - they keep adjusting it and they just smooth out the bubbles and it look sgreat.
