Build on your inspirations as your concept takes shape and look for more dramatic wallpaper patterns. Your interior designs may alter any area by using wallpaper. Wallpaper is frequently preferable to painting. The information in the following paragraphs will assist you in identifying the spots in your house where wallpaper will have a distinctive effect, such as inside of drawers, the front of a cabinet, or maybe the ceiling.
1. Deck the ceiling.
Homes frequently have painted recessed ceilings or vaulted ceilings with wooden beams that have been stained. A home's interior design and overall grandeur can be significantly impacted by significant adjustments made to the raised portions of the house. There is no law, in Acel Rivers' opinion, that states you may just wallpaper walls. Use your imagination and raise it to the ceiling.

Although the setting is dramatic, the right pattern will make the room come to life. Consider the wall finish carefully before wallpapering your ceiling as it will influence the design you choose. Take into account the wall's current look and see whether it has a popcorn-like or abrasive texture. It is crucial to be aware of this uneven texture. It will be less likely to display flaws if the area where the wallpaper is applied is smooth and structurally sound.
2. Fill the space behind a bookcase.
Consider wallpapering the interior of your bookshelves if you want to add a little design to your area but are hesitant to wallpaper an entire room.

Making a focal point in the room with this wallpaper technique can assist. The eye will be drawn to the background's contrast as it scans the shelves, and the accent items on the ledges will stand out as a result. Just make careful to incorporate books, bowls, and other items that give the wallpaper character without completely covering it.
3. Put it into a piece of furniture.
By adding your preferred wallpaper design to something plain and conventional, you may transform it into something remarkable.

Applying wallpaper on an existing piece of furniture, such as a footstool, nightstand, or dresser, is an amazing way to add wallpaper to a room. Look around your bedroom until you locate a piece of furniture that you wish to cover. Dressers and nightstands are examples of flat-surfaced furniture that are perfect for wallpapering.
4. Create an accent wall with interesting prints.
It might be overpowering and outdated to wallpaper a whole room with busy designs. You don't need to stay away from crazy ideas, though. To create a more aesthetically pleasant environment overall, use a creative application method in the space. Consider using the print of your choosing on one accent wall to avoid an outdated vibe, or use wallpaper in a confined alcove.

Your home will gain charm and character with an accent wall that is vivid and striking without looking disorganised. When all the walls in a home are the same neutral colour, playful prints placed on them create depth and character. A wallpaper with a flowery, striped, or geometric design may make a strong visual statement.
5. Put it in frames for a gallery wall.
Looking for a cost-effective and renter-friendly wallpaper design option? In a living or dining area, construct a gallery wall. The wallpaper may be added to frames rather than being pasted or adhered straight to the walls of your home. Using this method, a decorator may add texture to their room in a practical and affordable way.

Think gallery wall meets wallpaper when picturing this wallpaper idea as a contemporary spin on traditional wall design. Additionally, you don't need to put any glue on your walls, which makes this method appealing to individuals looking for transitional choices. Your favourite design will infuse your barren walls with fresh visual intrigue.
6. Include it in a stairway
If you're fortunate enough to have a staircase you can decorate, it's an odd area to add visual texture to your house. Risers for stairs are ideal for exhibiting a single design or imaginative colour scheme. If you have wood stairs, give them a traditional and timeless look by adding wallpaper with a botanical design, herringbone pattern, or stripes.

This commonplace location will become a topic of conversation for visitors and family thanks to whimsical patterns and striking colour choices. Wallpaper decoration is a type of art since people's eyes naturally wander up stairs. Decorate with wallpaper with confidence and add depth to a special area of your house.
7. Dress up a lampshade.
Have a lamp you adore, but you don't like the shade? Then, to change the atmosphere of the room, think about covering the lampshade with imaginative wallpaper. Wallpaper will attach to and cover lampshades since it is often stiffer than equivalent materials, according to Acel Rivers. By sticking your chosen peel-and-stick or conventional adhesive wallpaper, you may create this unique effect.

Start by selecting a wallpaper in comparable colours with your preferred pattern or colour scheme to adhere to either the inner or exterior surfaces of the lampshade drum. You may choose patterns with a retro feel or stick with simple colours. Test the wallpaper in your room with the light on to see how the colour appears.
8. Layer a section of the wall.
Try wallpapering just a piece of the wall rather than the full surface to add texture and dimension to your room. Since you are just decorating half the room, this decorating method takes half of the effort and expense.

When clipping wallpaper margins for long panels, it is important to proceed with caution. When cutting the paper, take into account the pattern of repetition in the design and the pieces you need add. When purchasing wallpaper and hanging it on your wall, it could be advantageous to bear this worry in mind. When you trim the pattern to suit the space, you want the design to still appear attractive. The objective should be to seamlessly join each layer you apply to the walls. Before installation, look for flaws or cracks in the walls. As the eye focuses on design defects, round the edges for a polished installation.
