Homeowners consistently look for ways to update their home’s interior. Wallpaper often is highlighted as a stylish and versatile choice.
Aside from their aesthetic appeal, wallpaper has multiple uses besides being solely wall decoration. We’ve spotlighted five fabulous ways you can use wallpaper in your home!
1. Cabinetry Lay-In
Wallpaper is generally used to decorate walls. Nonetheless, it turns out that wallpapers’ versatility can surpass our expectations. Its application to furniture and surfaces of the like produces an opportunity to break away from traditional design rules. The benefits of wallpaper allow you to customize any part of your room without limits!
An armoire is one of the places you can cover with wallpaper. It will add character, texture, color, and visual interest to an otherwise dull surface and provide an element of surprise.
2. Ceiling
Wallpaper on the ceiling can visually enhance a room’s proportion or bring pattern into challenging and non-challenging spaces. Depending on the pattern, a wallpapered ceiling can also add a layer of impeccable detail by changing the appearance and lifestyle of your home décor.
3. Accent Walls
Since the accent wall will draw your eye towards it, thinking about where you place your wallpaper is important. A wall or niche that’s largely bare can stand to benefit from wallpaper, as you’re trying to give the room a more complete feeling. The visual weight of furniture in harmony with the wallpaper attains a pleasant balance of elements.
4. Statement Pieces
If you’re going to give one wall in your room an exclusive design, don’t be afraid to go bold! Choosing wallpaper that clearly stands apart from the crowd will grab the viewer’s attention. The flexibility of choosing an oversized mural or print allows you to express your unique style, turning your room into a work of art!
5. Invigorate Small Spaces
Typically, homeowners stick to the unwritten rule that every wall should follow the same color and pattern, no matter if the room is small or large. This guarantees that the room remains consistently agreeable throughout. Still, you may want to invite some personality into the space by creating a textured accent wall that animates it in a more unique way.
One such advantage of wallpaper in smaller spaces is that you can delve into the dimensions of texture with it! Never be afraid to play with wallpaper three dimensionally!
