While many like wallpaper in theory, the idea of applying it—especially if you're in a rental—can sound like a bit of a nightmare. 

But it doesn't have to be! As demonstrated by self-taught DIYer and blogger Alexandra Gater, wallpaper application can be both fun and easy—especially when the wallpaper in question is a peel-and-stick decal. 

And the perhaps simplest way you can use it for a BIG instant home transformation? Your staircase. 

Take a look: 

Stunning, right?! You can shop Alexandra's peel-and-stick stair decals here. (Swipe to see the before and you'll love it even more.) 

Pro tip from Alexandra: To install, she used a cloth to smooth the decal out on the stairs and a utility knife to cut the excess material off.  

Sold as much as we are? We rounded up 10 gorgeous peel-and-stick stair decals below, each with a different style to complement your unique taste.
