Nothing announces a home’s personality quite as loudly or decisively as a punchy wallpaper. And what’s not to love? Wallpaper is an affordable, unexpected, and eye-catching way to decorate any home. So whether you want the calm of a gentle cottage-inspired floral, the zest of vertical stripes, or the chill of a cool geometric print, there is a wallpaper out there for you.
Paper A-Peel
One of the best parts about wallpaper? It doesn’t have to be permanent!
Removable wallpaper, like a peel-and-stick decal for your walls, is the perfect solution for renters who are not permitted to renovate their homes. Or maybe you are just the kind of person who likes to switch things up. In that case, adhesive wallpaper may be just the thing to satisfy your craving for change.
Adhesive wallpaper goes on and comes off so easily – there has never been an easier way to give your space the high-quality update it so richly deserves. It’s a unique chance to explore today’s trends without fear of long-term commitment.

One Wall, Two Walls, Three Walls, Four
What is the right way to decorate with wallpaper? Well, there isn’t one! Wallpaper can work in any home, in any space, and for any taste. A better question is, what’s the right way to decorate your home with wallpaper?
It’s very much up to you. Wallpaper can complement the design of a room, or it can steal the show. The wallpaper you choose, how much you use, and where you place it really depends on how you wish to style your space.
Accent Wall, or All Over?
The much-beloved accent wall is a staple of the interior design industry. These statement features are popular because of their inherent ability to draw the eye of anyone who enters the room. They’re flexible, fun, and a great conversation piece. And what better way to dress up an accent wall than with a bold wallpaper?
Each home and homeowner is unique, so your accent wall should reflect your individuality. Once you choose the wall you want to highlight, you can arrange the decor around it. And remember, the accent wall doesn’t end with wallpaper – that’s just the beginning.
For the daring designer, an all-over pattern may be the way to go. If you take this route, consider the size of the room, its purpose, and how you plan to furnish it.
Framed Wallpaper
Just because wallpaper is meant for the wall doesn’t mean you can’t get a little creative with it. Rather than investing in a massive piece of art, which can set you back hundreds if not a thousands of dollars, why not just frame a large swatch of wallpaper? A bold pattern makes for the perfect artistic pop on your walls.
Wallpapers come in so many styles and colors, you’re bound to find one that captures your attention, the same way a painting would. And if you’re unsure about putting such a statement piece over an entire wall, a framed print is the perfect middle ground.
All Prints Large and Small
You can make any print work in your home. The key is not to focus too much on the size of the pattern. The color scheme, texture, and design are what’s going to tie the look together.
Small patterns create depth and visual interest, but they can also create a confusing optical illusion if too much pattern is crammed into one space. Even though it might seem counterintuitive, a small, tightly clustered print can look much busier and be overwhelming to the eye. If you do choose a small-scale print, a softer, less defined pattern keeps it from looking excessive.
Don’t shy away from an eye-popping pattern. Bigger can definitely be better! A large-scale print is an attention-grabber. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or highly decorative, either. It can be as simple as color-blocked geometry, or as detailed as an art print. It is entirely up to you! Just be aware of how to complement the space. A large, robust print may call for a touch of subtlety when it comes to décor.
