When faced with a blank wall (or four!) in a dorm, many people go for a colorful tapestry or flag to cover up an otherwise empty space. An easy solution to a common problem, tapestries have become somewhat of a staple in college decor, whether they’re maps of the world or picked up from a street vendor during your study abroad trip.

However, it’s often a fire hazard to have so much loose fabric hanging close to a light source. What’s a girl to do? The infinitely better solution lies in a more recent trend: removable wallpaper.

Designed for renters and targeted towards apartment tenants, removable wallpaper is a more sophisticated way to cover up a blank wall that won’t break the bank. With almost countless options that include chalkboard wallpaper, wall decals, and floor-to-ceiling patterns, removable wallpaper is giving the traditional banner a run for its money.
