I would supply and install peel and stick wallpapers, removable wall decals and fabric wall panels that tenants can take down when they move out without damaging paint.
I would help customers choose designs, measure walls, install neatly and remove them later at move out. Homeowners can also choose conventional wallpaper for a longer lasting finish.

Tenants often live with dull, scratched walls because painting is not allowed or not worth it for a rented flat. Removable wallpaper and decals change the look of a room in a day and come off cleanly later. I would make this easy: help pick designs, install them properly so they do not bubble or peel, and remove them at the end of the lease.

Renting is common in Indian cities, especially among young professionals and students. Interest in home decor has grown through social media, and removable decor fits renters well. Wallpaper is also used in homes, cafes and offices for feature walls. Installation skill makes the difference between a good result and bubbles and peeling edges.
Buyers are tenants, young couples setting up their first home, homeowners wanting a feature wall, small cafes and offices. Their trigger is moving into a new place, a festival or special occasion, or wanting a quick room makeover. I would reach them through social media inspiration posts, furniture rental companies, real estate brokers and decor shops.
I earn a margin on wallpaper and decals and charge for installation per wall or per square foot. Removal at move out is a separate service. Commercial feature walls bring larger orders. Costs are stock, installation tools, transport and labour.
Rental friendly products plus professional installation and removal are the edge. Do it yourself attempts often go wrong, and painters rarely offer removable solutions.
I would recommend this to someone with a good eye for design and neat hands. I would avoid it if you cannot test product quality. Install one feature wall and use it to market the service.

I need installation tools such as smoothers, cutters, levels and a ladder, sample catalogues, a small stock of popular designs and transport. Setup stays in the tens of thousands. Keeping a small display board with real samples helps customers choose and reduces returns.
Income depends on jobs per week and average room size. Moving seasons and festive periods bring spikes. Commercial projects add bigger tickets. Removal bookings at the end of a lease give a second payment from the same customer, and tenants who liked the first job often book again in their next flat. Small cafes and offices bring larger single orders when they redo a feature wall. Income will be uneven around moving seasons, so I would keep a few commercial clients for steadier work.
