Peel and stick vs paste the wall for nurseries
Both formats work in nurseries, but they suit different situations. Here is how they compare for a baby's room:
| Feature | Peel and Stick | Paste the Wall |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | No paste, no tools. Peel liner and apply. | Apply paste to wall, then hang panels. |
| Repositionable | Yes — lift and re-align during install | Brief window before paste sets |
| Removal | Peels off cleanly, no wall damage | Requires soaking or steaming to remove |
| Ideal for renters | Yes — no permanent alterations | No — removal may damage paint |
| Durability | 5–10 years in normal conditions | 10+ years, more permanent bond |
| Textured walls | Needs smooth surface (prime first) | Handles light texture better |
| VOC / safety | PVC-free, water-based inks, no off-gassing | PVC-free, water-based inks, no off-gassing |
| Sample available | $4.99 sample | $4.99 sample |
For most nurseries, peel and stick is the recommended choice. It installs quickly (a single feature wall takes 1–2 hours), is safe to install during pregnancy, and comes off cleanly when your child outgrows the design. Paste the wall is the better choice if you want maximum durability or if the nursery has textured walls that have been properly primed.
Popular nursery wallpaper themes
Gender-neutral botanicals are the most ordered category. Sage green wallpaper — including Eucalyptus Trees, Botanical Sketch Grande, and Ellas Vintage Blooms — works from newborn through to school age without feeling dated.
Jungle animal murals — Jungle Babies, Jungle Elephants, and Jungle Giraffes — are consistently among the top nursery designs. Custom sized to your wall with no off-cuts.
Soft florals in blush and sage suit girls' nurseries. Cloud and sky murals like Luxe Clouds in Soft Grey create a dreamy, calming atmosphere for any nursery.

Nursery wallpaper safety
All Olive et Oriel wallpaper is printed with water-based inks on PVC-free substrate. There is no off-gassing and no VOC concerns once installed. The adhesive on peel and stick wallpaper is non-toxic and fully inert once cured. You can install it safely during pregnancy — there is no chemical smell and no need to ventilate the room afterwards.
For detailed installation steps, see How to Install Wallpaper. For renter-specific guidance, see renter-friendly wallpaper.
Textured walls in nurseries
Many homes have textured walls — orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel. Peel and stick wallpaper needs a smooth surface to bond properly. On textured walls, apply three full coats of a self-adhesive prep primer before installation. The specific product depends on your country — see our wall preparation guide for country-specific products.
Always order a $4.99 sample first and test it on your prepared surface before committing to a full order. See Peel and Stick Wallpaper on Textured Walls for the full guide.

Is peel and stick or paste the wall better for a nursery?
For most nurseries, peel and stick is the better choice. It installs without paste or tools, is repositionable during installation, and removes cleanly when your child outgrows the design. Paste the wall is more durable long-term and suits textured walls that have been properly primed, but removal is more involved.
When should I install nursery wallpaper during pregnancy?
Install nursery wallpaper in the second or early third trimester. Peel and stick wallpaper is odour-free and VOC-free, so it is safe to install during pregnancy. Allow two to three hours for a single feature wall. Have a partner or friend help with alignment and smoothing.
Can nursery wallpaper go on textured walls?
Peel and stick wallpaper needs a smooth surface. If your nursery has textured walls (orange peel, knockdown), apply three full coats of self-adhesive prep primer first. See our textured walls guide for product recommendations by country. Order a $4.99 sample to test adhesion on your prepared surface before ordering.
How long does nursery wallpaper last before it needs replacing?
Peel and stick wallpaper lasts 5–10 years in normal conditions. Most parents replace nursery wallpaper when the child is 3–5 years old and ready for a more grown-up room design. Paste the wall wallpaper can last longer (10+ years) as it bonds more permanently to the surface.
