Wall Murals for Rental Properties: Tenant-Friendly Ideas

Looking for ways to spruce up a rental property? Wall murals are one of the easiest ways to inject personality into a room and create a focal point, without the commitment of paint or the risk to a security deposit.

Why Peel-and-Stick Works for Renters

Unlike paint or traditional wallpaper, repositionable peel-and-stick material is designed to come down cleanly at move-out. That makes it one of the only ways to make a real visual change to a rental without a landlord's permission for permanent alterations.

Best Rooms to Start With

A bedroom accent wall or a small space like an entryway or powder room is a low-risk place to start. See Bedroom Wall Murals.

Choosing a Design That Works Across Moves

Favor designs you'll want to bring with you, or timeless enough to resell or reuse. Nature and landscape scenes and neutral, textured designs tend to have the longest life.
