Peel and Stick Trim: Best Self-Adhesive Wall Trim and How to Use It
Peel and stick trim is molding with an adhesive backing: you peel off the liner and press it onto the wall. It is the easiest way to add frames, panels or a chair rail with no nails and no glue gun.
What can you do with peel and stick trim?
- Picture frame and box molding on accent walls.
- Wainscoting and chair rails.
- Board and batten strips.
- Renter-friendly upgrades you can remove later.
How to cut peel and stick trim corners
Corners need 45-degree miters. Pre-cut kits arrive mitered and numbered, so there is nothing to cut; if you buy straight lengths you need a miter box. Two ready-made options are the Ready to Go Wainscoting Kit and the Picture Frame Molding Kit, 2 Upper & 2 Bottom Frames Wall Trim.
