Hi everyone!I’ve never had wallpaper before, but I’ve been thinking about trying it in one or two rooms.

I keep gravitating toward softer, calmer patterns and found one from Serena & Lily (their Marisol wallpaper: https://www.serenaandlily.com/products/marisol-wallpaper/1350758) that I really like. It looks peaceful but still has personality, which I like, and most of theirs don't have those super bold prints that feel trendy and overwhelming later but looks kinda exclusive as some prints tend to look the same in all stores.

Since this would be my first time, I’m trying to figure out what actually holds up long-term in real homes. For people who’ve used wallpaper before:

-What kinds of patterns or colors have you not gotten tired of over time?

-Do softer neutrals and subtle texture tend to age well and not look dirty?

Would love to hear what’s actually worked in practice and if anyone has experience with Serena & Lily specifically, I'd love to hear reviews! Thank you.

I don’t usually post recommendations like this, but I remember looking for longer-term renter-friendly wall decor options before moving to this new apartment and mostly only finding initial setup impressions and a lot of mixed reviews on how to decorate my walls.

I’ve had them up in a rental for about a year now, so this is a more practical update on how they’ve held up, as I see people tend to like quality reviews here. I mainly chose Mix tiles because I didn’t want to drill into the walls or commit to a fixed layout, especially since I knew I’d probably want to change things over time and I didn't expect to stay in this apartment for long (my husband's job tends to make us move around a lot)

So far they’ve held up well, no peeling or falling off, and I’ve rearranged a couple of them once or twice without any issues to the wall, so I was really happy that it worked bc for a family that moves a lot, always to rentals, decorating/not feeling like the house feels like home can be very frustrating (anyone relates??). They’re not really comparable to framed prints in terms of feel, but for renter-friendly wall decor that’s easy to adjust without stress, they’ve worked better than expected so I thought it'd be nice to share! :)
