It’s not completely hassle free, though. The key is making sure the walls are smooth and clean before applying it, and maybe giving them a fresh coat of paint if needed, so that way, any adhesive residue will wipe off easily. And then, unlike traditional wallpaper, there wasn’t really any scraping involved, it just peeled right off. I’d definitely use it again for spaces I knew we’d want to update in a few years.

Do the walls need to be smooth? Ours are textured, and when our son was little we got him a huge, super-cool Fathead sticker of Woody from Toy Story for his wall. Sadly, one day, it just peeled right off. It seemed that our walls were too textured for it.
