Wallpaper: Not Just for Walls Anymore

Wallpaper got its name from its most obvious use...but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used in other ways to spruce up the look of your home. We found some of the most interesting spots and style savvy ways people are using wallpaper in their homes to create a look that’s all their own. Check out our favorite projects for wallpaper, and follow the links to recreate the look for yourself.

Up the Staircase…

Wooden stairs breathe refreshing color into this home with rainbow-like stripes for energetic charm. When deciding to add accent to your staircase, you have to decide on a color scheme. Will you choose a pattern to use and reuse for each riser, or will you choose a few different rolls in complementary color schemes to mix things up? If you want to recreate what these people have done with stripes, we have wallpaper for you. Our selection of stripes is sure to help you discover a pattern that makes you smile. Love the look of stripes in oranges and pinks? Or the same style with more of a blue and purple color scheme? Once you’re ready, HGTV has a great tutorial to get the process going.

Much More Than a Bookshelf…

Want to bring charisma to a small section of your home, like a customized accent wall? Or do you need to bring a little life back to an old bookshelf, while adding style to your space? Try wallpaper against the back for a unique look. It adds a pop of color to your home in a truly personal way. This family chose a geometric pattern for a designer look in the foundational palette of gray and white. This is a great choice for wallpaper in a room where the background sets the stage for whimsical style, like the accent pieces on the shelving and the bold look of the orange leather chair.
