Hey folks! I've been really digging the traditional look of picture frame wall trims but I'm not exactly a DIY expert. I stumbled upon some peel and stick wall trims on Etsy and thought they might be a good solution for me. Has anyone tried these before? Would you recommend them?

Honestly, peel and stick wall trims are kind of like the fast food of home decor—great for a quick fix, but they don’t always end up looking the best in the long run. If you're okay with it looking a little off after some time, go for it. They might be suitable if you're renting and want something hassle-free. But for a nicer, classic look, I’d suggest putting in the extra effort with wood kits. There’s really nothing worse than a peeling trim showing off half-hearted attempts, right?
I've used peel and stick murals before, and I can tell you from experience that the larger pieces can be tricky to apply nicely. It definitely requires some patience. For the price, usually around $10-$15, it's a low-risk option to try. Just a heads-up, the trim can be tricky to align properly, and if it’s a 3D design, you might face even more challenges. I think wood kits are a better bet—they're more stable and you can adjust them easily using screws. Plus, you'll be able to pick a wood color that matches your space better. Go with whatever you feel comfortable trying out! If you don’t like one option, you can always switch it up later.
Thanks for the tips! I think I'll give the wood kits a shot.

I hear you! I think I’m leaning towards the wood kits for that classy vibe.
