Can you wallpaper a rented apartment?

Lonny Magazine recently featured the above tip for using wallpaper if you are renting your apartment. I’ve always loved the look of wallpaper on one wall of a small room to add real personality to a space, and now it seems as though it might actually be possible! By layering double-stick tape over masking tape, you can essentially stick your wallpaper right onto the wall, without even the need to be a pro at sticky wallpaper paste. That being said, I’d imagine this is a job for a true perfectionist to make sure edges line up and the paper is bubble-free. With Hong Kong humidity the fact that the paper is not truly gummed all over to the wall might be a problem in terms of peeling. BUT, for a super-small space (and let’s face it, we all have plenty of those) I definitely think it could be worth a try.

One of my favourite kid’s room ideas using wallpaper is to cover one wall with a huge map of the world. I love the idea that a child would drift off to sleep dreaming of exploring foreign lands…

But my absolute dream would be to cover the walls of our apartment with some really bright floral prints. I think my husband would have something to say about this idea though! I especially like the image in the bottom left corner with the empty frame placed on top of the wallpaper. I think I would have to make sure I was very committed to the whole idea first though before I tried it out, as for some reason one day I can completely love crazy florals, and the next I love clean, white walls!
