Vinyl adhesives are the natural descendants of classic painted wallpaper. These adhesive strips are made of a flexible material: ultra-resistant and long-lasting vinyl (hence their name). They’ll stick to any flat surface: walls, ceilings, household appliances, floors… and if you peel them off carefully you can even reuse them.
They are a good option if you want to decorate a rental home but are not allowed to drill holes in the walls or paint them a different color. Many shopkeepers have started using these to spruce up their window displays on special occasions such as Christmas without having to resort to a decorator.
And no doubt vinyl adhesives are the perfect solution for people who are hopeless at decorating and DIY. No nails, glue, or straightedges required. Use only a little imagination to redecorate your home.
