If you’ve ever dreamed of transforming your walls without the chaos of a full renovation, wallpaper might be your secret weapon. But in 2025, there’s one big decision homeowners and renters alike keep asking:
Should I choose peel-and-stick wallpaper or traditional paste wallpaper?
At ZeekoHome, we specialize in premium wall murals and custom designs for every room — from calm minimalist bedrooms to artistic floral statement walls. Let’s explore the real differences between these two popular wallpaper types so you can make the perfect choice for your next home project.
🌿 What Is Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper?
Peel-and-stick wallpaper (also called removable wallpaper) is a self-adhesive wall covering that you can apply directly to your wall — just peel the backing and stick it on.
It’s ideal for renters, DIY enthusiasts, or anyone who loves to switch up their décor seasonally.
At ZeekoHome, our PVC802 series and gray adhesive canvas options make installation simple while delivering a smooth, professional finish.

🏡 What Is Traditional Wallpaper?
Traditional wallpaper, often made from non-woven or fabric-based materials, requires wallpaper glue or paste during installation. It’s slightly more time-consuming to install, but the result is extremely durable and long-lasting — perfect for homeowners planning a stable, timeless interior.
ZeekoHome’s cross-textured fabric murals (non-adhesive) offer a luxurious finish and natural texture that enhances light and depth in any room. Because these require pre-applied glue, they’re more suited for permanent wall transformations or large statement areas like the Bedroom Mural Collection.
⚖️ Peel-and-Stick vs. Traditional Wallpaper: Pros and Cons
| Feature | Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper | Traditional Wallpaper |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Quick DIY application — just peel, align, and stick | Requires paste and precise alignment |
| Removability | Fully removable with minimal residue | May damage paint if removed |
| Durability | Good for short to medium term | Excellent for long-term use |
| Finish Options | Smooth matte or textured | Deep texture, rich color depth |
| Best For | Renters, seasonal decorators, beginners | Permanent designs, professional installs |
💰 Cost Comparison (2025 Update)
In 2025, pricing depends heavily on material quality and custom sizing.
Here’s a general guide based on ZeekoHome’s current production standards:
-
Peel-and-stick wallpapers: from $25–$45 per m², depending on texture and print detail.
-
Traditional wallpapers (non-adhesive fabrics): from $35–$60 per m², due to extra durability and thicker material.
While peel-and-stick offers lower upfront cost and flexibility, traditional murals deliver a long-term investment in craftsmanship and aesthetics.
🎨 When to Choose Each Type
Choose Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper if you:
-
Rent your home or prefer damage-free removal
-
Enjoy seasonal décor updates
-
Want to DIY without hiring installers
-
Love playful or trendy designs like our Black Mural Collection for modern contrast and character
Choose Traditional Wallpaper if you:
-
Want a more permanent, luxurious wall finish
-
Have slightly uneven wall surfaces (paste evens out imperfections)
-
Plan to keep the same décor for years
-
Prefer a deeper, textured look (our non-adhesive cross linen fabric is ideal)
💡 Pro Tip from ZeekoHome
If you’re still undecided, consider a hybrid approach:
Use peel-and-stick wallpaper for accent walls or children’s rooms (easy to update as they grow), and traditional murals for bedrooms or living rooms where you want lasting elegance.
At ZeekoHome, every mural is printed to your custom dimensions, ensuring a flawless fit and professional finish — no matter which type you choose.
🌸 Final Thoughts
Both peel-and-stick and traditional wallpapers can completely transform a space — the key is understanding your lifestyle, wall condition, and how long you want the design to last.
Whether you crave the serene charm of floral murals, the bold drama of black statement walls, or the soothing tones for your bedroom retreat, ZeekoHome has something for every design dream.
