These timeless wallpapers are the reset button every wall needs
Need a change? This timeless wallpaper is perfect for non-committal decorators and will instantly elevate your space.

I can still remember the wallpaper in the foyer of my childhood home: a marvelous yellow-and-blue floral wallpaper, so captivating it rarely went unnoticed, and every guest gushed over it. So much so that when it came to my bedroom decor? I —being a young child with exceptional taste — seemingly demanded (daily), a similar intricate hand-drawn floral arrangement be installed to the borders of my bedroom walls immediately.
Yes, excellent taste dates back decades, and fast-forward present-day? Nothing has changed —my affection for wallpaper, and after all, how couldn't it be?
When it comes to securing a bold backdrop in a non-committal way, wallpaper is your best friend. The easy-to-use adhesive comes available in a variety of designs, prints, and shades.
Plus, when investing in a peel-and-stick option, it's perfect for any renters or uncertain shoppers, and I've already attested to the powerful effect it has, but the one recommendation I do have? Keep things simple — and opt for a timeless wallpaper.
Timeless wallpaper will do just that: stand the test of time, and no matter how many times you rearrange your furniture, switch-up any furniture, or change your layout, that same wallpaper you picked from the very start stands out in style: every single time.
Now, if you're finding that difficult to believe? Instead of explaining it to you, let me show you first-hand. Whether you're a renter embarking on their first wallpaper journey, or a longtime-lover, these five timeless wallpapers are worth the investment.
