Peel and Stick Wallpaper for Tempe Apartments and Rentals
Renter-friendly, removable, and actually beautiful. Hand-illustrated wallpaper that transforms your Tempe apartment without touching your security deposit.
Wallpaper That Works for Tempe Renters
Let's be honest about Tempe: it is a city of renters. Between ASU students, grad students, young professionals working the tech jobs along the 101 corridor, and the growing number of people who just prefer renting in a walkable downtown — most Tempe residents do not own their walls. But that does not mean you have to stare at builder-white paint for the length of your lease.
Our peel and stick wallpaper exists for exactly this situation. It goes on without paste, water, or any permanent adhesive. It stays put for as long as you want it. And when you move out — whether that is next year or five years from now — it peels off cleanly without taking the paint with it. Your landlord gets their white walls back. You get to live in a space that actually feels like yours.
This is not the contact paper your parents used to line kitchen shelves. These are hand-illustrated designs by real artists, made on premium material with a subtle matte finish that looks and feels like real wallpaper. Because it is real wallpaper. It just happens to be removable.
Where to Use Wallpaper in a Tempe Apartment
The Accent Wall Behind Your Bed
The most popular project for Tempe apartment dwellers, hands down. One wall behind the headboard with a mural or pattern instantly makes the bedroom feel intentional and finished. It is the single biggest visual impact for the least amount of effort — most people do it in an afternoon.
The Living Room Statement
In a studio or one-bedroom apartment near Mill Ave or along the lake, the living room wall is doing a lot of work. It is the background for your couch, your video calls, your social media. A large-scale mural — a hand-painted landscape, an oversized botanical, an abstract composition — gives the space a personality that furniture alone cannot achieve.
Small Spaces That Punch Above Their Weight
Bathroom walls, closet interiors, entryway nooks, the inside of built-in shelving. Tempe apartments are not huge, but small spaces are where wallpaper actually has the most dramatic effect. A bold pattern in a tiny powder room makes people stop and comment every single time.
Install It Yourself on a Saturday Afternoon
You do not need to hire anyone. Our peel and stick wallpaper is a genuine DIY project — the kind you can do with a friend and some good music on a weekend afternoon. No paste, no water activation, no special tools beyond a squeegee, a utility knife, and a step stool.
Here is how it works: your wallpaper arrives as numbered panels, custom-made to fit your wall. Start at the top, peel the backing as you go, smooth each panel into place, and trim the edges. The adhesive is repositionable, so if you get it crooked — and you might on the first panel, everyone does — just peel it back and try again. No drama.
A typical accent wall takes one to two hours. We include step-by-step instructions with every order, and there are video tutorials on our website if you are a visual learner. And if you get halfway through and panic, email us at hello@anewall.com. We are right here in Gilbert and we will talk you through it.
Designs That Tempe Actually Wants
We pay attention to what our Tempe customers are ordering, and the trends here are distinct from the rest of the Valley. Tempe skews younger and bolder. The soft, muted florals that dominate in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley are not what most Tempe renters are looking for. Here, we see strong demand for abstract murals, tropical botanicals, moody dark florals, and graphic patterns that photograph well and make a statement.
That said, we have hundreds of designs ranging from minimal and understated to dramatic and bold. Whatever your apartment aesthetic — whether you are going for Scandinavian minimal, maximalist color, cozy earthy tones, or clean modern — there is something in our collection. Every design is created by artists from around the world, which means the range is genuinely wide. Browse online or come see them in person at our showroom.

Not Your Average Wallpaper
There is a lot of cheap peel and stick wallpaper on Amazon. We know. We also know what it looks like in person — thin, plasticky, obviously temporary. Anewall is different. Our wallpapers are designed by artists and made on premium material that has real weight and a refined matte finish. People who visit homes with our wallpaper installed genuinely think it is permanent. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Every design is custom-made to your exact wall dimensions at our studio in Gilbert. No standard sizes, no leftover rolls. You get panels that fit your wall and nothing you do not need. Thousands of homeowners and renters trust Anewall, and we have been featured by Pottery Barn, Anthropologie, The New York Times, and Architectural Digest.

Can I install wallpaper by myself in my apartment?
Absolutely. Our peel and stick wallpaper is designed for DIY installation — no paste, no water, no special tools.
