I like to think of the walls as the skin of the interior. It’s the biggest part of the room and plays a crucial role in its design and decor.
While strong wall paint may strike you as very bold and plain white or beige may look empty no matter the decor you pile on, how about you consider the middle ground?
Wallpaper is all in one – it’s your wall design and your main decor.
Keep reading to discover 11 inspiring ideas and also some things you should consider before redesigning your space with wallpaper.
1. Pick Your Tones Carefully
You may hear people mentioning the color theory all over the place. Choosing the right shade, tone, and undertone is important in fashion, makeup, and even home design.
Concretely, when it comes to your choice of wallpaper, it’s important to match its tone to the colors you already have.
If you look carefully at the above picture, you’ll notice that the dominant colors are the cool ones. That’s why the blue wallpaper looks as great as it does!
2. Create a Backdrop for Your Statement Piece
Every interior has that one piece of furniture that dictates the rest of the room.
Here, it’s the beautiful antique desk. You may see that the other decor, the walls, and the drapes are all congruent with it.
3. Revolutionize Your Ceiling
The ceiling is your fifth wall and a great opportunity for some unique decor.
Ceiling decorations are more and more popular and they include various styrofoam shapes, lights, and, of course, wallpaper.
4. Color Draining With a Twist
Color draining is a trend that keeps turning heads.
Still, if you’re worried your color-drained interior may appear too uniform, a well-chosen wallpaper can be a real game-changer.
5. Pick Your Art Style
Among the most decorative wallpaper designs are those that mimic art.
Some look like antique paintings and others like an intricate mosaic. The above wallpaper resembles a decoupage, for instance.
6. Frame Your Wallpaper
Depending on the overall design, your interior may benefit more from an all-around wallpaper or a carefully placed accent.
Framing your wallpaper with the other features in your interior may provide it with unique depth and effect.
7. True Accent Wall
Creating an accent wall can be a much more creative process than just picking the color and design.
Use wallpaper like you would wall art and create a fun collage.
As you can see in the above picture, the food-themed wallpaper is perfectly aligned with the dining table.
8. Soft Mosaic Appeal
Nowadays it’s easy to customize anything and everything, and there’s no reason to stop halfway when designing yourself a perfectly cohesive space.
Align your colors and patterns. That’s the secret behind the perfect bedroom like the one you may see above.
9. 3D Wallpaper for Mood
Some homeowners prefer to stick to the classics when choosing a wallpaper and others are all in when it comes to 3D.
There are some truly fantastical designs to choose from that can completely transform the vibe of your interior.
For instance, the above wallpaper is the perfect choice for a relaxing and moody bathroom.
And if you do plan to have wallpaper in your bathroom, consider how well it fares against humidity.
10. Optical Illusion Vibe
I’m sure you’ve seen this adorable design around. It entails using two completely contrasting wallpaper designs in neighboring rooms.
However, the real magic only begins once you open the door and it looks like you’re about to step into a different dimension.
11. Discreet And Dynamic
If you’re looking to keep your interior stylish and classic with a touch of textured dynamic, then discreet wallpaper is just the right pick for you.
Stick to the classics when it comes to the choice of color, and you’ll have yourself a transformed space that isn’t overwhelmed by the wallpaper.
