Wallpaper can transform the atmosphere and feel of any room instantly, no matter your personal style or taste. From bold and colorful patterns to more subdued classic styles, there’s sure to be an option that meets them all!
Designers love using patterned wallpaper in small areas like bathrooms. In this one, a subtle pattern highlights an alcove housing a modern freestanding tub.
Cover All the Walls
Wallpaper provides an immediate visual impact and is easy to coordinate with furniture and decor. It can cover up blemishes and uneven surfaces effectively; just remember to prepare the wall beforehand by using sandpaper for any bumps and vinyl spackling paste for any gaps.
Wallpaper can peel easily in rooms where moisture levels are high, such as bathrooms and kitchens, increasing its chances of peeling over time. To minimize peeling in these high moisture spaces, choose prepasted products which do not require additional glue or water for installation.
Make an impactful statement in your living room with colorful geometric wallpaper! It makes an eye-catching feature wall, or can even serve as the basis of the whole room’s decor, making a big statement that won’t fade with time. Plus, its shapes and colors easily integrate with other design elements in the space such as modern art on the wall or an eye-catching rug!
Accent Wall
Wallpaper accent walls are an affordable and effective way to add style and personality to a room without undertaking an entire room makeover. Choose a wall with the highest visual impact – perhaps opposite a doorway or facing your sofa for optimal results.
Be daring when selecting an accent wall color; don’t be intimidated to try something different like texture as well. A textured wallpaper adds depth, making an impactful statement about you!
Before hanging wallpaper on any walls, it’s essential that they’re prepared by eliminating existing blemishes, filling holes and cracks, sanding smooth, removing existing blemishes and filling in cracks or uneven spots as needed. Be sure to sand smooth after making repairs; taking your time here can prevent later headaches caused by poorly installed accent walls requiring costly renovation. Investing extra time and care when prepping walls for wallpaper installation can save time, trouble and headaches later on down the line.
Feature Wall
Created effectively, feature walls are an incredible way to transform the aesthetics of any room. Be it painting an entire wall with color or wallpapering an accent wall with prints – creating one is an effective way to incorporate color without overwhelming its decor.
Make it unique and personal by adding something personal, such as wallpaper with bold patterns or one of the many wooden wall panels available that will add warmth and coziness.
Be mindful that darker colours tend to draw the eye in closer, making a room feel smaller, while lighter wallpaper will open it up more. Before committing to any hue for wallpaper purposes – as its hue changes depending on lighting levels – consider your room and how its lighting effects the hue you’ve selected.
Open Bookcase
Bookcases can make for beautiful focal points in any room, yet can sometimes be challenging to decorate. With wallpaper as an easy solution, any built in bookshelf can become the centerpiece of the room!
This project works best on Billy bookcases with removable shelves, but any fixed shelf unit can be used. First, lightly sand all wooden or painted surfaces to get maximum adhesion before prepping paper and paste or adhesive for this step – a wallpaper brush and smoothing tool will come in handy here!
Once you are ready, apply the first strip to the back of your bookcase using marker marks as guides, smoothing out any bubbles as necessary. Work your way around all three backs until the pattern lines up seamlessly – this task becomes even simpler if your wallpaper pattern is small-scale and allover; doing this will enable you to avoid having to maneuver around corners or around ledges which can prove challenging!
