A dry-transfer appliqu&eacute; is provided for wall decoration. The appliqu&eacute; has at least three bleed-resistant color pigments, including a bleed-resistant magenta pigment, that will not bleed or show through a coat of paint once the appliqu&eacute; is painted over for redecorating. The appliqu&eacute; has an as-applied thickness of 1.3-8 mils so that it will not be visible through a coat of paint. A plurality of dry-transfer appliqu&eacute;s are also provided having designs corresponding to a common design theme. The appliqu&eacute;s can be placed by the consumer to provide a custom design suited to that consumer's personal taste.

A wallpaper display package permits vertical display of wallpaper without causing a crease or other damage to the wallpaper. The display package comprises a card having a generally planar body portion of substantially uniform thickness configured to receive an elongate wallpaper sheet wound thereon. A pair of opposing tabs are positioned on and project from respective sides of the body portion lower end. Each tab has an upper portion configured to prevent the wound wallpaper from sliding over the body portion lower end. A pair of opposing slots are provided in the body portion adjacent the upper portions of each tab. The slots prevent the formation of a crease in the wallpaper when displayed vertically.

The present invention is directed to a releasable wall covering and a method of producing the same. The wall covering comprises a reinforcing backing layer with a surfacing layer formed of a polymer coating overlying a front surface of the backing layer. A layer of printing is applied to the surfacing layer with a transparent top coating overlying the printing layer. A pressure sensitive adhesive layer formed of tacky polymeric microspheres is present on the rear surface of the backing layer so as to allow the wall covering to be repositionable upon installation and releasable after an extended time.
