When you do wallpaper right, it makes a big impact.
Wallpaper has made quite the comeback, and seems to be “sticking” around! With new ways of application, a variety of price points and elevated designs, wallpaper is an easy addition to give any space a complete transformation.
Designer Melissa Reynolds shares her advice on how to do wallpaper right.
Keep it Simple
If you want to have staying power with your wallpaper, keep it simple. Simple patterns or soft colors will have more longevity.
Start Small
If you’re hesitant to wallpaper, start small. Powder bathrooms and laundry rooms are great places to start. You can also add it to a hallway for a small touch of pattern.
Have Fun
Many trending wallpaper designs incorporate animals or objects, such as flowers, birds, trees, fruit etc. They give a room life and are an instant attention-grabber. It’s like having an amazing piece of art in a room, but it encompasses the whole space.
Go Big
If you are all in on the wallpaper trend, go big! Pick a print you absolutely love and put it down your hallway or in every wall in an office or bedroom. As long as you have a distinct starting and ending point, don’t hold back and embrace your space.
Melissa’s favorite sources for wallpaper include Anthropologie, Lulu and Georgia, Loomwell, and Amazon.
