Wallpapers in My Home
I love wallpaper and how it can transform simple, dry-walled spaces into ones filled with character and depth. I still remember the first room in our home where I had wallpaper installed and the incredible change that occurred with this beautiful material. Over the years, I have received many messages about the wallpapers in my home, which inspired me to create a guide to help you source each of these wallpapers.
Home Wallpaper Ideas
When it comes to choosing wallpaper, a variety of options are available, including traditional wallpaper and peel-and-stick wallpaper. Traditional wallpaper often boasts high-quality designs that can last for years, making it a fantastic choice for creating a stunning focal point in any room.
On the other hand, peel-and-stick wallpaper offers an easy and flexible solution, perfect for those who love the option to change their decor frequently or for renters looking to personalize their space without damaging the walls. Peel-and-stick options come in a wide array of patterns and textures, allowing for creativity and customization that can suit any aesthetic, from modern minimalism to vintage charm.
When choosing wallpaper, consider the overall theme and color palette of your space. Bold, dramatic prints can energize a room, while soft, subtle designs can create a calm, serene environment. Additionally, consider the scale of the patterns—larger patterns can make a smaller room feel more spacious, while smaller prints can add detail and interest to larger areas.
Another important aspect to consider is the texture of the wallpaper. Textured wallpapers can add a tactile element to a room, enhancing the overall experience. From grass cloth to embossed designs, textures can create depth and visual interest.
Also, don’t forget about the finishing touches that can elevate the look of your wallpapered space. Molding and trim can frame the wallpaper beautifully, while carefully chosen furniture and accessories can complement the patterns and colors in your wallpaper.
Laundry Room
Our laundry and mudroom happens to be the back entrance into our home, and the room had bare white drywall and just didn’t feel warm and inviting. This blue and white paper caught my eye with its traditional yet playful design. It created such a joyous and happy environment to complete one of life’s daily chores, and cheerfully greets you when you walk in the door! This is a traditional style paper so we had it professionally installed but it now comes in a peel and stick removable version as well!
Primary Bedroom
A few years ago, I decided I was ready to add more personality to our bedroom in my favorite shade of blue. I had been holding on to a swatch of Quadrille Fabric’s Happy Garden Reverse in the most beautiful pale blue for something unique. When this paper was installed in our room, it instantly made the space feel cozier and more sophisticated. I love the pattern on the pattern, so it was fun to mix this paper with a printed batik quilt and our pale blue nightstands. This paper is incredibly soothing to me and has elevated the look of our bedroom! Schumacher’s classic Chenonceau Sky is a second favorite and gives a similar look!
Powder Bath
I knew I wanted to add more wallpapers to my home, and instantly, this gorgeous green and blue wallpaper from Meg Braff was a game-changer in this bathroom. The walls transitioned from a dark navy to a light, bright, and cheerful space! I smile every time I walk in here. I wanted to add more touches of green throughout our house, and this was how I started.
The Stairway
We live in an early 1900s farmhouse, and typical of that era, our home has a very narrow, steep staircase to the second floor. This might have been the most significant transformation in our house. The walls were bare and very dull. I took a chance and wallpapered the entire stairway and the small vestibule below it with Serena and Lily’s feather wallpaper in bone. I opted for a neutral paper that complemented the green and blue tones in the bathroom, located just off the vestibule. I love that this is patterned yet subtle. It has the slightest texture and has created the perfect backdrop for a gallery wall of fun art prints! This same paper is also available now in a peel-and-stick removable option!
Finley’s Bedroom
This peel-and-stick powder blue wallpaper in Finley’s room feels like a breath of fresh air. The soft blue color has worked perfectly as she has transitioned from a little girl to a teenager. Before using this wallpaper, we had only papered one wall, which drove me crazy since I’m not a fan of accent walls. At that time, we chose to wallpaper just one wall to stay within budget. I was thrilled to switch things up and use this peel-and-stick wallpaper throughout her entire room. It looks stunning and genuinely resembles traditional wallpaper!
Primary Bathroom
Our primary bathroom, located off our bedroom, needed a significant makeover. It was a labor of love for me, and it took several months for everything to come together. I went with my favorite color scheme to brighten the space: blue and white. It’s now such a fun yet serene space for me to unwind at the end of the day. For years, I had been wanting to use Quadrille’s Climbing Hydrangea wallpaper somewhere, so I found this remodel to be the perfect opportunity! Schumacher’s Hydrangea Drap Delft Wallpaper is a very similar paper. You can read all about our bathroom remodel here and how I styled it with items from The Home Depot.
Henry’s Bedroom
I used warmer tones for Henry’s bedroom to give it a more grown-up feel and set his room apart from his younger brothers’ space. With the neutral gingham and headboard, I chose a grasscloth wallpaper for his walls. Although the exact one I used is no longer available, Serena and Lily’s Swansea Paperweight wallpaper is a similar option.
I hope seeing the wallpapers in my home inspires you to use wallpaper in yours. Remember to embrace your style and choose designs that resonate with you. Wallpaper can be a reflection of your personality, so whether you gravitate towards bold geometrics, florals, or subtle patterns, let your choices tell your story. With the right wallpaper, you can truly create a space that feels uniquely yours
