Peel and stick wallpaper may be the answer. Removable and re-positional wallpaper is suitable for many home projects. The most obvious purpose, of course is to quickly create a wall, but there are many more uses as well. Additional uses include making over a dresser, creating custom laptop covers, and more. Keep in mind that not all are created equal. Be sure that you choose one that will last and not fall off your wall.
