Rental Wallpaper

Rental wallpaper is a wall covering you can remove again without damaging the wall. It is self-adhesive, so there is no paste and no primer. It suits bedrooms, lounge rooms and entries. Giffywalls prints each design to your exact wall size, corner to corner.

Rental Wallpaper for Australian Homes

Plenty of us rent, and most leases say the same thing. Nothing permanent. This works within that. The paper goes on a painted wall and comes off the same way, so the bond stays safe. Renters in Sydney and Melbourne use it to lift a plain unit without asking anyone. It also suits a holiday let or a short-stay place that needs a refresh between seasons.

  • Bedrooms: one wall behind the bed.
  • Lounge rooms: a feature wall behind the sofa.
  • Entries: a small space you can wrap fully.
  • Home offices: a clean backdrop for calls.

Which Walls Work Best

Smooth painted walls are ideal, and most modern units have them. Satin and semi-gloss hold best, while a flat matt paint can lift with the paper. Rendered or textured walls are harder, since the adhesive only meets the high points. Wipe the wall down first and let it dry. Our self-adhesive wallpaper range is built for exactly this job.

Heat and Humidity

Our summers test any adhesive. Hang it in a cooler part of the day rather than in full afternoon sun. Press the seams firmly as you go. In a humid coastal home, give the edges an extra press after a day or two. Keep the offcuts as well, since they come in handy if a corner ever needs a patch.

Putting It Up and Taking It Down

Line the panel up, press it on and smooth the air out as you go. Got it crooked? Peel it back and try again. To remove it, warm the top edge and pull down slowly at a low angle. Fast pulling is what marks the paint. The rest of our temporary wallpaper options behave the same way.

Samples and Australia-Wide Delivery

Order a sample and stick it up for a week before you commit. It tells you two things at once. How the colour reads in your light, and how your particular wall holds the adhesive. That is worth knowing first. When you are ready, your custom-size mural ships free Australia wide, with numbered panels. Roll the panels rather than folding them and the same paper can go up in your next place.

FAQs

Which materials is best for wallpaper?

Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.

How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?

Measure the wall's width and height, adding 2–4 inches for trimming. Check for obstacles like windows or doors and note their dimensions. Double-check measurements before ordering!

How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?

Pick a design, enter wall dimensions, choose material, and place your order. Contact support for help!

Does rental wallpaper really come off without damage?

Yes. On smooth, sound, well-cured paint, peel and stick murals lift off cleanly with no residue. Peel slowly from a corner at an angle. The main exceptions are flaky paint, fresh paint that has not cured, and heavily textured walls.

Will my landlord be able to tell it was there?

Not if the wall was in good condition when you applied it. The low-tack adhesive leaves paint untouched, so after removal the wall looks the way it did at move-in. Testing a sample patch first is the safest way to confirm on your specific paint.

How long can rental wallpaper stay up?

Years, if you want it to. The adhesive is designed to hold long-term on smooth painted walls while remaining removable. Many renters keep a mural up through an entire multi-year lease and remove it cleanly on moving day.

Is it printed to my exact wall size?

Yes. Enter your wall's width and height and we print the mural to your exact measurements as one continuous design, with panels numbered in hanging order, so even a temporary wall looks fully custom.

Can I reuse the mural in my next apartment?

Sometimes. Carefully removed panels can be re-hung on a similar-sized wall, though adhesion weakens with each move. Most renters reorder the same design printed to the new wall's dimensions, which guarantees a perfect fit.
