Peel-and-stick decals are a solid call, especially if you’re not sure how long you’ll be in the space. I tried the painted stencil route once, and honestly, the prep took way longer than I expected—taping everything off, measuring, etc.—but it did hold up better than I thought, even with a humid summer. One thing I’d add: if you’re using canvases, try lightweight foam boards too. They’re cheaper, and you can wrap fabric or wallpaper samples around them for a similar effect without the weight. Just a thought if you’re worried about nails or wall damage.
I’m a big fan of the foam board trick—super lightweight, and you can swap out fabrics whenever you get bored. If you want to avoid holes, those removable velcro strips are a lifesaver. One tip: don’t skimp on measuring twice before you stick anything up... trust me, crooked “art” is way more obvious than you’d think.
