Command strips can be found at almost any store, from Walmart and Target to drug stores and grocery stores.

Stick and peel 

Stick and peel wallpaper helps give a splash of color to a room without paint. Do you wish you had exposed brick on one wall? It’s possible with stick and peel wallpaper.

Many retailers sell various colors, prints and patterns online. including Amazon, Target, Hobby Lobby, Walmart and Cost Plus World Market. 

For easy application, a wallpaper smoothing kit is suggested to avoid air bubbles. You can find them for about $5.

Stick on backsplash 

Does your kitchen look a little bland? You can add a tasteful backsplash with stick-on tiles. They can cost as little as a dollar at the Dollar Tree. 

LED lights 

Whether they’re in your bathroom on the bottom of your sink or on the back of your television, adhesive LED lights add a cozy ambiance to your space. Some adhesive LED lights also have motion sensors, which work great in a hallway to help you see at night. The strips aren’t expensive.
