How to Revamp Your Home With Wallpaper

We have all been there…when your home starts to feel dated, dull, or lacking a fresh vibe but you don’t want to spend money on renovations. This is where you can make wallpaper your best friend. 

These simple wallpaper additions will liven up any space in your home, from statement walls to subtle touches in powder rooms. We have curated examples of wallpaper additions that give your home the facelift it's been craving. 

Make a scene with statement wallpaper.

If you’re looking for a bold refresh, choosing a statement wallpaper can create a vibrant new space in your home. Here are two examples of how utilizing bold wallpaper can enhance a space and showcase personality.

The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach (left) created this custom wallpaper to leave an everlasting first impression on their guests. It is a pink paradise that captures the thematic tone of the wildlife and nature in Florida. The imagery immerses the guests into an idyllic Florida vacation mindset and enhances their overall impression of the hotel. 

Founder and designer behind Alice + Olivia, Stacey Bendet, is notorious for her colorful prints and feminine designs. In her New York home, she carried prints throughout the entire apartment. Using the space as a form of expression, she seamlessly weaved her personality into all aspects of her home with wallpaper (right).  

Bring life into the powder room!

Powder rooms provide the perfect canvas to let creativity go wild. Powder rooms are smaller spaces that are not the centerpieces of the house so you can choose a fun, whimsical print to liven up the smaller space. These three examples show different ways to incorporate prints that complement the cabinetry. 

Texture is the new neutral.

If you want to venture into the world of wallpaper but are not into bold prints, a neutral wallpaper with texture is the perfect balance that harmonizes newness into a space but maintains minimalist tones. This understated yet impactful wallpaper choice brings depth and character into the house without overwhelming the senses. 

Simple touches that WOW!

If you are not ready to commit to an entire wallpapered space, start with wallpapering small spaces such as the backs of bookshelves, bar areas, or cabinets. Introducing color and print to these smaller, less noticeable areas brings a touch of fun into a room but doesn’t overpower the overall ambiance. 

Don’t forget to look up!

Looking for a unique way to carry wallpaper throughout your home? Try wallpapering the ceilings, it will introduce a captivating visual element transforming the entire room. By experimenting with different patterns you can create the illusion of larger spaces and higher ceilings.

Spruce up the stairs.

Adding wallpaper to the foyer can be a colorful way to liven up the entryway of a house and create a fresh new environment to walk into. There are also subtler and simpler ways to introduce wallpaper to the stairs, such as applying it to the risers. Adorning the risers with wallpaper will add a beautiful visual element to a part of the house that is often overlooked."
