My entryway needs a pop and I'm debating peel-and-stick wallpaper against the traditional kind.

The quick install of peel-and-stick is tempting, but I've heard paste-on lasts longer... which side are you on?

Exactly, that bathroom story says it all. If it can handle steam and moisture for three years, an entryway is nothing. I used a good peel-and-stick in my kitchen, another crazy busy area, and it looks brand new two years later. The tech has gotten way better, so that old idea that paste-on is always more durable just isn't true anymore. For most people, the easier install is the smarter choice.

How long does paste-on really last if the walls aren't prepped just right though? I tried the traditional kind once and it was a huge mess, the seams kept lifting after a year. My cousin used a good quality peel-and-stick in her bathroom, of all places, and it's been solid for three years. For a busy spot like an entryway, the easy fix of peel-and-stick wins for me every time.
