5 Unconventional Ways to Decorate With Wallpaper
When you think of wallpaper, you might picture a room covered in an outdated floral print, but there are great options for modern and sleek wallpaper designs today. However, some people still aren’t ready for the commitment involved in covering their home in wallpaper. If this describes you, you’re in luck.
There are still plenty of ways to decorate with wallpaper that don’t involve covering your walls. Here are a few ideas.
Cover a tabletop.
You likely have tabletops in your home that are either plain or have accumulated marks, scrapes, and blemishes. Wallpaper can cover those imperfections and add interest to your furniture. You can add wallpaper to coffee tables, side tables, desks, and dining room tables.
Find a pattern that complements the table legs and cut it to fit the tabletop. Frame it as art.
If you’ve found a wallpaper that you like for your walls, but don’t want your entire room covered, you can add it in a less permanent way. Use frames to display the wallpaper instead. Fit the wallpaper into one large frame or multiple smaller ones.
Alternatively, use it as a backdrop for your bookshelf.
Your books deserve a stylish shelf, but many bookcases are plain. Adding wallpaper to the back of each shelf can give the piece a fresh look and make your books stand out. Cut the wallpaper to fit the back or top and bottom of each shelf to create a unique effect.
Appliances can be eyesores in a room and may need an upgrade. However, you can add color to your kitchen or other space by covering ugly appliances with wallpaper. Spruce up a staircase.
Adding patterned wallpaper to the vertical parts of each step can significantly enhance the visual appeal of your staircase. Instead of covering the entire staircase, focusing on just the vertical part of each step is a practical way to create a more colorful and interesting look without causing damage to the wallpaper due to wear and tear.
