A little wallpaper PSA from someone who actually installs the stuff:
Peel-and-stick does not mean easier.
We finished this bathroom recently, and while it turned out great, this peel-and-stick paper made the installation about ten times harder than it needed to be.
Traditional wallpaper gives us time to position the paper, slide it into place, work seams and corners, and make adjustments as we go. Peel-and-stick wants to grab immediately, and in a room with this many corners, fixtures and obstacles, that makes a huge difference.
If you're considering wallpaper, don't assume peel-and-stick is the easier or cheaper option just because there's no paste involved. For a professional installation, give me good old-fashioned wallpaper and paste every time.
The finished product came out great. We just had to fight it the whole way there.
