Wallpaper is going through a rebirth in 2019, and we love it. Incorporating wallpaper as a design piece truly transforms a space. It’s versatile and available in several different patterns, colors, and textures, which makes it easy to incorporate in a variety of home styles. If you’re ready to embrace this trend but need some guidance on how to use wallpaper in your home, here are our tips.
Hang Wallpaper as Art
If you want to make a significant impact in your home but on a small budget, consider hanging a framed piece of wallpaper. Using wallpaper as a form of artwork eliminates the expense of installation. These types of wall hangings have a big design punch and require minimal effort from you.
Place Wallpaper Inside Unexpected Spaces
A fun way to incorporate wallpaper on a budget is by adding it to the back of your shelves, cabinets, and draws. Place peel and stick wallpaper on the inside of your cabinets or as a drawer lining. When guests go to look for a dish or silverware, they’ll be surprised by the fun decorative element. If you have open shelving, use a wallpaper in a pattern or color that complements the rest of the room. The best part? You can easily remove the wallpaper whenever the time comes.
Create a New Focal Point with Wallpaper
Creating a feature wall with wallpaper instantly enhances the room and adds spunk. Feature walls are a cost-effective alternative to wallpapering an entire room. Use fun patterns and texture for this wall and paint the rest of the room in a neutral or complementary color. Feature walls work great behind fireplaces, entertainment centers, vanities, and beds.
Cover an Entire Room with Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a design concept that adds a ton of personal style and texture to a home. Adding wallpaper to your whole room allows your walls to stand out, and lets the rest of your decor remain simple. Another great reason to choose a wallpaper for your space is that it can disguise a wall’s imperfections in ways paint cannot.
Wallpaper a Table Top
Jazzing up a table is easy if you add some wallpaper to it. You can place the paper directly on the table, or if its a table with glass, you could put the wallpaper under the glass. You have complete control over the table so you can switch up the wallpaper at any time.
