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.

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 power it has. In fact, it's so powerful that if you are looking to obtain the best bathroom wallpaper or make a subtle statement, you need to invest in timeless wallpaper options. 

Though, the one recommendation I do have is to opt for a timeless wallpaper. 

Timeless wallpaper will do just that: stand the test of time. No matter how many times you rearrange your furniture, switch it up, 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.
