People don't tend to use wallpaper the same way as they did back in the days. Back then you would easily wallpaper a whole room, and you wouldn't really think about the fact that the pattern you had chosen might not be on trend 5 years later.
It's all about paint nowadays, and more about the decorations. Cause let's face it - it's easier to change your decorations when they're not trendy anymore, rather than re-wallpapering a whole room.
Having one wall wallpapered is not unusual, and I think that's a great and simple way of spicing up a room. However, there are lots of other creative ways of using wallpaper...
Spice up a coffee table with some colours and patterns by covering the top with your favourite wallpaper and a piece of glass. Gorgeous result! Make sure that the wallpaper matches the rest of the colours in the room.
Don't fancy investing in an expensive bed frame? Be creative and cut out some wallpaper in the right size and paste on your wall behind the bed. Simple, stylish and cost effective!
Another creative way of using wallpaper is to paste it on the steps in the stairs. Use the same or different patterns. A playful way of decorating your home!
Another way of spicing up a piece of furniture is to paste wallpaper onto drawers. It could be a little bit tricky, but it's definitely worth the time and effort! Just don't forget to unscrew the handles before you do it, and also - you might be better off adding a coat of clear paint on top of the wallpaper so that it doesn't wear out.
A simple IKEA stool can get a whole new look with a lick of paint and some wallpaper. A great DIY project that is both simple and cheap!
Or why not give a new look to that old display cabinet? This floral wallpaper is absolutely beautiful, and I would love to do something similar myself. I've been having a browse around for similar wallpaper and have found a great and affordable range of floral wallpaper at I Love Wallpaper. Check it out for yourself!
Are you ready for some DIY? ;)
