4 UNEXPECTED WALLPAPER IDEAS FOR YOUR HOME
When it comes to remodeling a room, paint usually gets all the credit for bringing joy to a space. However, there are many different methods for using wallpaper that can really liven up a room and give it a ton of character. Best of all, it doesn’t always mean plastering the walls with a gaudy print or overwhelming the space. As experts in home interior design in Bend, we wanted to share our best advice by laying out a few of the various options. Here are a few unexpected ways to use wallpaper in your home.
1. ADD WALLPAPER TO THE CEILING
If you’re looking for a way to add texture and interest to your space, consider adding wallpaper to the ceiling. While this might seem like an unusual place, the truth is that it can draw the eye up for an aesthetic that makes the space look much larger. This is especially true in rooms with vaulted ceilings that angle. However, we think you should skip this idea in small spaces, which can seem a little crowded if you have too much of a print.
2. USE WALLPAPER CUT INTO SHAPES
Now, just because you’re adding wallpaper to a wall doesn’t mean you have to cover the entire space with print. Instead, opt to cut the paper into certain pieces. For example, using diagonal lines with moderate width or even vertical stripes can give off a funky and fun look for any accent wall. You could even pair your favorite wallpaper print with a pretty solid paint color to create a harlequin or checkerboard print on a single wall, such as behind a bed or a sofa.
3. DECORATE SHELVING WITH WALLPAPER
Of course, it might be called wallpaper, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it to jazz up furniture in your home. Whether you’re decorating built-ins or want to give an old bookcase a facelift, a bit of wallpaper is a great idea. With so many whimsical and colorful prints out there, it is easy to find one that coordinates with the rest of your space while livening up boring shelving.
4. MAKE WALL ART FROM WALLPAPER
Have you ever looked at a sample book and fallen completely in love with a certain wallpaper print? No? It’s just us designers? Well, at any rate, there are tons of great styles that also make amazing pieces of inexpensive wall art. All you have to do is get a sturdy frame or a piece of canvas, cut your paper to size, and you have an instant one-of-a-kind art piece for your home. What’s not to love about that?
