PSA: My friend swore by using old wrapping paper as wall art, it didn't work out

My friend Jen said I should just tape up some leftover Christmas wrapping paper on my blank living room wall to save money. I tried it last month and it looked okay for like two days, then the paper started curling at the edges because of humidity. The tape left sticky marks on my paint too, so now I have to repaint that whole section. Has anyone else had bad luck with temporary paper solutions or know a way to make it actually stay?

Doesn't this kind of stuff happen with every quick fix we see online? Everyone wants a fast solution but never talks about the humidity or the sticky residue left behind. It's like that whole "life hack" trend, half of it just creates bigger messes later.

It's just how everything feels like a bandaid now instead of actually fixing anything.
